My guess, although not mentioned as so in this article, is that he is being charged with raw material as DMT. He had several other illegal drugs in his possession, all within reasonable weights, even small for a dealer. This seems to be a common approach for LE.

How does this affect sentencing?

Poor dude was stupid to sell THC and got coughed having MHRB or ACRB that by law is seen as the same thing as pure DMT.


So stupid kid got cough doing stupid things. Also a great example why we have the rule about no buying/selling/smuggling/etc.

"9.5 dosage units of amphetamine"

Wonder what that means. What substance, and how much of it?

Despite the absurdity of the charge, he will concede that he possessed 5 pounds of DMT after the DA extorts him into plea bargaining.

Grist to the mill of prohibition for everyone and the finest of folk to hang out with
He could do beautiful things but I guess he's too young (as in uber-stupid). Doing stupid is common but some forms are badly self/scene inflicting, that's why the 'uber'.

Where is this horrible place? North Carolina? How nasty to put a mugshot of him online.

I'm assuming he set up lines and they barged in while he was sniffing. Weird that you don't know that amphetamine and it's analogues like adderall, ritalin, and even meth is what people refer as "speed".

Anyhow the dude had it coming, he was into some rather sketchy stuff which is rather obscure considering he had access to psychedelics.

He was probably in for the money, still it is stupid asf for him that he got busted. He should have watched out about what he's doing way more.

I don't know if HE had it coming. More like you can only blame his judgement to start selling drugs. Really all it is that we are punishing here is someones tendency to make foolish decisions, oversights and lapses in good judgement about common sense things that are learned through out education.

The poor guy just looks like a typical suburban white male who just lost his right to freedom because he thought he could get away with it. God, I hate our correctional methods. All it would take to set this guy straight would be some 50-100 hours of literature and sermons on rational judgement and ethics and he would be good to go... and with an enhanced vocabulary and a more positive outlook on life!

Instead, he gets told to sit in the corner with the dunce hat on and feel misery... yep, that sounds like typical narcissistic, egotistical human revenge to me!

I find it a little interesting how ready folks are to pillory the dude here. Sure his ACTIONS were dumb and none will find any disagreement with me that meth and it's adherents are 'sketchy' (to say the least) but the real issue here is criminalization.

I read reports on heroin/fent/opiate ODs ravaging certain parts of this country (six in Philly in one afternoon within six blocks of each other earlier this month) and i see a call for regulation. Others see more rationalization for enhanced law enforcement. I read articles like what this kid (and yes, he seems to be a real man-child.) did, illegally peddling substances meant fur consumption of questionable purity and quality and again, see a call for regulated legalization for the hard stuff (although meth is the ONE illegal drug that i see uses of which commit crimes BECAUSE they are high, but because they are need if a fix.), and for rec cannabis like my state has.

I don't know, yeah, he could be called lots if names and i am in no way condoning his actions, i just see it as a cultural problem more than an individual problem with this guy.

I'm surprised nobody has resorted to making fun of his southern residence yet. (Intezam, the hell is called Amerika, also known as the land of the incarcerated and home of the scared.)

Thank you Null24. Better insight than the judgement hammer. Whether we like it or not the world economy depends on the black market. Just look at all the banks caught laundering cartel money this past decade and count how many bankers went to jail. ZERO to be exact. Once upon a time when i was caught in tbe grips of addiction i had access to psycedelics and tbey didn't help me at all then. I just abused everything. Now with time and teaching and personal recovery work i know how to use them to my benefit and was just lucky my story turned out differently. This guy will have to make some serious bargains with the devil to see the light of day. I hope he manages to turn his life around.
