Boy arrested for possession of fake drugs
Filed under: In The News
We all know that possession of an illegal substance is a crime. But did you know that possession of a fake illegal substance can be a crime as well? I am guessing this fifteen year-old-kid didn't know that either. The Port St. Lucie, Florida boy and his thirteen-year-old friend were attempting to play the old bag-of-parsley-looks-like-marijuana trick on a friend when things went a little bit wrong. It seems the pair were also skipping school, which attracted the attention of local police. Police stopped them, discovered the bag of herb, and charged the fifteen-year-old with possession of a counterfeit controlled substance with the intent to deliver. I am no legal expert, but I suspect the 'intent to deliver' played a big part in his arrest.
However, it sounds like there might be a little more to the story than just a dumb kid playing a dumb joke. According to the article, the last time the boy smoked marijuana was the day before. How they know that isn't clear, but maybe his arrest over a bag of parsley will straighten him up and prevent future arrests for the real thing.

Dana said...How would anyone think an old bag of parsley is marujana? I think that those cops should smell the bag first, and the fake one will smell like parsley, other one marujana. Shouldn't cops should look at it more closely then annoucing it an illigal drug?

undrgrndgirl said...dana - they KNEW it wasn't marijuana - but there are laws on the books in many states which make it illegal to distribute a fake "drug" - my husband used to carry baking soda with him and got pulled over for a minor traffic incident - he was told they could arrest him for having fake cocaine...i also know of an incident in oklahoma where an african american man was pulled over (racial profiling) his car searched and the cops found rosemary...they arrested him for smuggling a fake controlled substance - the man was a legal herb grower and was taking dried herbs from one state to another and just driving through oklahoma...i've also read about truck drivers getting harassed for powdered sugar. it is just another way for law enforcement to screw around with people and more importantly for cities, counties and states to make MONEY. these types of charges are bullpoop...the laws need to be taken off the books.
