Operation web tryp....that's one I haven't heard in a while.
I was in high school when I was buying AMT and 5-MeO-DMT from the "pondman" -- one of the guys busted.
He designed ponds in the Las Vegas area and had a website where on the side he was selling research chemicals (pondman.nu i believe, the had a dark black background?). But back then even AMT was unscheduled. Didn't stop the DEA I guess.
Yes it was pondman. We got nicked for buying 2C-I. He got busted cos a paraplegic man stuck his tongue in a load of powder and overdosed.
From Wikipedia...
'In 2005, a court ruled that AMT sold by pondman.nu caused the April 2002 death of an 18-year-old man in upstate New York and the site's owner was sentenced to 410 years in prison. In December 2004, using credit card information provided by the DEA, British police arrested 22 UK residents who had purchased 2C-I through the seized web sites (Operation Ismene). No one was jailed and most were released without charge. No customers in the United States were known to be arrested.'
We got done for possession of 2 research chemicals, 0.06g cocaine and 64g amphetamine. The police were very good not doing us for intent to supply. Although, they raided us at 7am and held us until 10pm even though our kids (aged 15 and 13) were at home worrying cos they were there when we were raided but had to go off to school. We spent most of the day in a freezing cold cell.
We got 12 months probation and drug counselling. I had a right old cow of a probation officer who thought I MUST be an addict. My husband got a young one and he said to her "You must've got mates who go clubbing and take drugs?" and she didn't deny it.
It was quite funny when queuing up at court with all the scallies cos we had to say what class of drug we were caught with. Most said C and I was 3As and a B - I win!
