LSD doesn’t show up on the radar too often for the Jefferson Area Drug Enforcement task force.
But JADE made a significant bust this week, according to a search warrant.
JADE officers executed the search warrant Wednesday in order to search property owned by Abraham Ankney, who they suspect of possessing LSD with the intent to distribute.
“[The bust] is the first I can remember in a long time,” said Lt. Don Campbell of JADE.
An anonymous tip alerted JADE officers to a package containing LSD, which was supposed to arrive in the area Wednesday from the West Coast, according to the search warrant.
Officers intercepted a FedEx package before it was sorted.
Wrapped in a Tuesday issue of the San Francisco Examiner were three vials, which were seized, and the liquid they contained tested positive for LSD, the warrant stated.
Campbell said the vials contained a large quantity of the drug.
The package was then resealed and sent to its destination, 911 Elliott Ave., in Charlottesville, Ankney’s previous address. Ankney’s address is currently listed as 1107 B 6th St., which is near the Elliott property.
Once Ankney signed for the package at the Elliott location, the officer executing the warrant, Detective John Seitz, seized it, authorities said.
The entire JADE force was present for the bust, Sgt. Joe Hatter said.
The package also contained a clear plastic bag with a “green, leafy plant-like substance,” a glass smoking device and a Samsung cell phone, which was returned to Ankney, according to the warrant.
Ankney was released on his own recognizance.
Both Hatter and Campbell said that LSD, a hallucinogenic drug, isn’t as common as cocaine or marijuana in the area.
Still, Hatter added: “It’s not out of the ordinary.”

I don't understand how they could open unconstitutionally search his mail and then set him up to take the fall after receiving a warrant from their initial search. I wish I had even one vial, with no intent to distribute but to share with my fellow psychonauts.

They didn't "unconstitutionally search his mail". Read the fine print the next time you send something FedEx, DHL, UPS, etc... they all make you sign a release that allows them to open and inspect any package they deliver. US postal mail is/was the only one protected by law against search without a warrant, and even that protection has recently been removed by the Bush administration in the name of fighting terrorism.

So the cops gave him the herb back?
Another think I don't understand, Is why would somebody mail vials of L? Laying the L on paper would make it hella easier to mail. And with an pipe (and bag of weed)? That is just dumb. I understand he got snitched on so It wouldn't have mattered anyways, but WTF?

What makes you say that? First Class/ Priority and express USPS is as secure as anything else. They need a warrant to open. Can always do a sniff test on the outside contents, but same thing with everything else.

> They need a warrant to open.
From the USPS FAQ:
Quote:
4. Can Postal Inspectors open mail if they feel it may contain something illegal?
First-Class letters and parcels are protected against search and seizure under the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, and, as such, cannot be opened without a search warrant. If there is probable cause to believe the contents of a First-Class letter or parcel violate federal law, Postal Inspectors can obtain a search warrant to open the mailpiece. Other classes of mail do not contain private correspondence, and therefore may be opened without a warrant.
However, on December 20, 2006, Georgy Jr issued a "signing statement" (legality of this is questionable) on a postal reform bill that declared his right to open any postal mail under emergency conditions, contrary to existing law and contradicting the bill that he had just signed.
Quote:
"The [Bush] signing statement claims authority to open domestic mail without a warrant, and that would be new and quite alarming," said Kate Martin, director of the Center for National Security Studies in Washington.
