Here's an experiment that'll get to the bottom of this for ya, OP.
First, get high with a friend. As high as you want, but not just "buzzed" as "buzzkill" implies... like, get
smacked. Then, take an aspirin from your medicine cabinet and rub off the imprint. Put the unidentifiable aspirin tab in a pocket you would normally keep illegal drugs in. With the aspirin safely stored on your person, go outside with your friend in tow (still high, obviously). Walk around, but try to make it look like you and your friend are not together. When you first come across a police officer, have your friend walk up to him, point you out and say, "I think he has drugs on him, I saw him put some pills in his pocket and overheard him take a phone call that sounded a lot like he was setting up a drug deal." As the police approach you, your friend should have the sense to get the fuck outta there before his information can be taken down. Refuse to give the police any information, only communicating that you consent to a pat-down when they inevitably ask/force. Let them find your pill. An hour later you should find yourself in a detention center for possession of a CDS (if you followed this experiment's guidelines the charge will not stick and you'll be on your way home in about 12 hours if it's a weekday). Once you're released, log on to BL and let us all know whether or not your buzz was killed because of the experience.
SPOILER ALERT
Hey, on another note and since I think this'll get moved to social anyways, OP, is Kentucky anything at all like the show Justified? I've gotten sucked into that show, man.... it makes it seem like y'all have some Wire-type shit goin' on down there in Harlan County, just-- you know.... the country, Caucasian version.
