totally outrageous "big drug bust" LOL what a load of BS, it was not opium it was dried poppy heads ,which are perfectly LEGAL(no pun intended)anyone can buy them here, there not OPIUM, there used in dried floral arrangements, and anyone can buy them here legally, there legal to buy, legal to sell and legal to possess
ReplyDeletethey contain very little trace amount of actual opium and it is not possible to process them into heroin, it would take hundreds of pounds of fresh poppies and raw opium and a major lab and lots of controlled chemical precursors such as acetic anhydryde to make heroin if if the the dried poppies could be used, which they cant, not practically anyway as it would take literally tons if them, the only way you can be charged with any sort of crime or manufacturing i if your caught actually grinding them up and ingesting them otherwise there perfectly legal to own ,purchase and sell anyone can buy them from florida on ebay, and this man lawyed is not too smart making a statement like that ,in which he admits they were for consumption, that is the worst think he could have said, he should have just said there not illegal and there fora floral decoration, admitting to grinding to make tea ,is tantamount to admitting guilt and to manufacture, he need to fire the lawyer,and what sum bags the police are for even arresting ths man, total bottom feeding low life parasites, i guess it has nothing to do with the fact his dad is rich,i hope these police and the system get sued by roger for wrongfull prosecution and harrasment, BPD you are POS scum bags, shame on you all
