I mean - isn't that kinda normal war-on-drugs policy?
The cops aren't interested in helping you test your drugs for adulterants. They'd much rather arrest you, for having drugs.
We may not like it, but it's normal for cops.
- mrguyorama 3y agoA lot of cops would explicitly and openly rather you just die from bad drugs. There are many that openly refuse to carry Narcan, because a human life second(or twentieth) chance is apparently not worth $25 to them. The official policy of the united states government during prohibition for example was to poison thousands of US citizens for daring to consume a prohibited substance. People died because of it. I don't understand that level of complete lack of empathy.

- __MatrixMan__ 3y agoWhere I live we're on a "meh, decriminalize posession" kick (most recently: psilocybin & dmt) so that's probably biasing my view, but the cops I know are too lazy to care about busting people for possession. If you can synthesize/extract it without creating a public health hazard, and if you're not part of something violent, or selling to kids, then you're probably not worth their time. Maybe I'd feel differently if I were in a different demographic.
- cqqxo4zV46cp 3y agoYou certainly would.
- loeg 3y agoI think that's very true where I live, too, even if we haven't literally decriminalized the more esoteric drugs. That said, if you're breaking another crime and also have drugs on you, I doubt those same cops would think twice about adding it on as an extra charge. Don't make trouble or "do crimes while you're doing crimes" and it's probably not a big issue.
