Alleged LSD ring masterminds: Raphael Zappala, Wesley Crawford, Joshua Dassay
PHILADELPHIA - January 31, 2012 (WPVI) -- Authorities in Philadelphia and Montgomery County have arrested five people in connection with an alleged million-dollar LSD ring operating on the campus of Drexel University.
The arrests came after an investigation that began January 18, with the arrests of a Drexel student in Montgomery County and his supplier.
Early Tuesday morning, officers from the District Attorney's Dangerous Drug Offender Unit, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and Philadelphia Police raided a home in the 4800 block of Florence Street.
Agents seized 9500 hits of LSD with a street value of approximately $28,000 and $10,000 in cash and arrested the three alleged masterminds of the operation:
*Raphael Zappala, 33, of 50th Street in Philadelphia *Joshua Dassay, 31, of Florence Street in Philadelphia *Wesley Crawford, 34, of Haverford Road in Ardmore
Investigators believe the ring operated on the Drexel University campus, selling LSD for over a year before it was busted. The D.A. says the group was selling the drug for $10 to $30 a hit. Investigators estimate the defendants were clearing $5,000 to $15,000 a week during that time period.
All three men were charged with Delivery, Possession with Intent to Deliver, Conspiracy, Use of a Communication Device to Facilitate a Narcotics Transaction, and Endangering the Welfare of a Child (EWOC). The defendants are facing the EWOC charge because an infant was at the apartment during the time of the raid.
Joshua Dassay is wanted in 9 other states for other crimes.
"This is another example of excellent teamwork between the different members of law enforcement in the Commonwealth," said District Attorney Seth Williams in a statement. "There was a huge drug ring operating on Drexel's campus and we were only able to identify and infiltrate it because of cooperation with the Upper Moreland Police Department, Drexel University, the Philadelphia Police Department, the DEA and members of our Drug Enforcement Unit. It is sad that this was taking place on a campus of higher learning, but I hope that the actions of a few do not tarnish the image of educational excellence that we associate with Drexel University."
The D.A. said the investigation began with the help of detectives from the Upper Moreland Police Department. On January 18, 2012 Upper Moreland detectives notified the D.A.'s office that they had arrested a Drexel University student on marijuana and gun charges who was willing to provide information on a drug ring operating on the Drexel campus. That student allowed District Attorney's Detectives to record phone calls of his drug transactions.
The transactions included the sale of drugs to another Drexel student who was working as a supplier to the first student. The second student was subsequently arrested, decided to cooperate with investigators and became an informant as well.
The information and taped phone conversations from both of those students led to Tuesday's arrests.

FUCK
THE
WORLD
at least there's more in the world
but really dude... 9500 hits down the drain

I can never understand why people with so much of a chemical would sell it to individuals. That is the easiest way to get caught. This sucks for Drexel but 9500 hits is negligible compared to what is out there and what a chemist can cook up in one synthesis.

Why is it always rings that get busted? What about drug triangles or drug trapezoids?
Pretty pissed though. Not sure what the situation is like in America, but Canada, has been damn near dry for about 4 years now.. Lsd is so damn scarce, you practically need to know the importer to get any. My point is off all the chemicals, I wish they'd leave lsd alone.
On the bright side I can see a huge influx of quality blotters coming in about 4-5 years from now, depending on how long it takes to master O-chem

Did anybody else notice how the guy on the far left had a very calm and relaxed look on his face. This guy is no doubt facing jail time and he still has a sparkle in his eye. Seriously though that is a lot of hits. I am assuming since they posted this that they couldn't get any higher up the chain. So these guys deserve some props.

I'm quite certain no one has ever sold or purchased a hit of LSD for $30, ever. Cops love to bust people, if possible get those "dope on the table" pictures for the magazine and T.V with the mayor or something, and make a big fuss about how they took x amount of dollars worth of whatever off the street, exaggerating the amount so fucking much.
I've read SO many articles on here about busts where they listed the price of different drugs or how much 1 hit or dose goes for and it shocks me how much they are able to bullshit that and editors or writers do nothing about it and don't question a thing.

supernovasky said: The guy on the far left knew that he had opened a lot of minds and gotten the drugs out to a lot of people...
BUT
Here's the deal with this group. They were stupid. These were people that should have been selling tenpacks, not selling individual hits.
They got stupid.
They got greedy.
So they started making a LOT of money, FAST, proceeding with a LOT of transactions.
They did not "earn" their 9500 hits of LSD through traditional means of doubling up and selling tenpacks. They raced to the top, much like Icarus, and fell back to earth quite fast because of their own greed and lack of patience.
They were not connected to chemists. They weren't "high up in family" or anything like that... just a bunch of college kids that found out they could make real money real fast without realizing the heat they brought on themselves.
30 dollars a hit...
They deserved it.
Is it actually true they were selling 1 hit of their LSD for $30 to different people? I guess I can understand you when you say "they deserved it", but at the same time I have too much of a heart and feel like people who do really despicable things like rape, murder (especially cold blooded killings), maybe someone who has a bunch of D.U.Is and gets another one maybe hitting an innocent person and hurting them seriously or even killing them, people that commit disturbing atrocities against animals, those people truly belong in jail.
When it comes to drug offenses, I personally feel like unless you're a violent and or murderous drug dealer that is truly a person who makes the community (could be your own neighborhoods/communities) less safe. Specifically the types of violent dealers who also like to rob people, other dealers or maybe someone buying a significant amount through violence, usually at gun point, these are the people who really belong off the streets.
These guys, judging by their mugshots and affiliation with LSD don't strike me as the type to be out running the streets with their 9 on their waste poppin maw fukaz who owe them $100. If they really were selling hits for $30, essentially taking advantage of good natured, the type of people who actually buy LSD, then hat is not very becoming of people who are that involved in the LSD trade. The beauty about the psychedelic/LSD scene and culture is that most of us are genuinely good people who's profits aren't there first priority and they are happy just being able to facilitate others to have this experience and take pride in their generosity, and just happy seeing people truly better themselves with LSD and subsequently people having positive experiences tell their friends and more and more people are exposed to it, unlike when someone is baited in by a crack dealer with a free hit, loves it, becomes a fiend and loyal customer, maybe bringing down some of their friends with them. Selling LSD, just like using it, is something that needs to be treated with respect. These guys seemed to be too in it for the money and clearly were not cautious enough.
I still refuse to say anything like "good I'm glad they're in jail they should be", because I don't like seeing non-violent drug offenders go to jail. In other words I wouldn't wish that on someone, unless they were a rapist or serial killer or assaulted some elderly lady after stealing their purse, something like that. The article indicates they were handling pretty sizable quantities of LSD, I feel bad for anyone caught in that situation because it's crazy how harsh they can sentence people for LSD offenses.

Bigtime shroom growers on this site who post countless pics of their operations and out of all the members on here, this guy's the one who's in danger of getting caught?
I'm sure law enforcement has this thread saved under favorites so in 4 or 5 years they can come back to it and track this guy's IP address.

Well, in defense of anunnakian, acid is a way bigger deal than a few isolated and smalltime mushie grow-ops. Cooking acid is actually a really big deal. The kind of deal that attracts feds.

-The first rule in LSD manufacturing is dont talk about LSD manufacturing. Dont tell your mom, dont tell your hoe, dont tell your friends, and no matter what never ever post it to the interwebs.
-The dude on the left knows something either great or terrible.
-Dude in the middle is epic.
-The try hard on the left failed.

The police act like it's so frightening that it is found on campus.

Some growers on here are pretty big. Some yield pounds, and I'll bet some may even sell their harvest even if they don't admit to it.
Main point is if cops aren't going to decide whether or not to bust someone based on the drug they're selling or growing. It's not like the cops will say "We'd arrest him if he were cooking acid, but since he's just growing shrooms we'll leave him alone."
If you're growing anything illegal and the cops find out, you're probably getting busted. So just because this guy is thinking about making acid rather than shrooms shouldn't put him at any greater risk than the many shroom growers on this site.
Plus, I doubt law enforcement is going to forget about it for 4 or 5 years then suddenly come back to it to see what's up.
Still, you can never be too cautious.

I think a better interpretation is: once men discover they are fractal dust on a rock floating through space, suddenly socially-approved grooming habits become much less important.
This process isn't rocket science.

If I had thousands of hits of acid, I wouldn't store it in some book. I'd probably store it in a cool and dark place. But if I only had dry blotter paper, storing it in a book would seem reasonable.
So the question is: Is it possible that those supposedly over 9000 hits were just dry paper?

If they were making money for a years time, I would assume that they were slanging real doses, no matter how weak or anything like that. They would not last that long by selling bunk hits

Inside a book is the perfect place to store sheets. It keeps out air and light. I've kept doses in books for years with no loss in potency.

Well that would turn out to be a lucky break for them...maybe. Does anyone know if it is possible for them to be charged with intent to distribute, even though there was no LSD on the paper?
Like how, if you were to sell sugar as cocaine to an undercover officer, they would still be able to charge you with distribution of a controlled substance?

You know, I've paid $20 a hit in places not far from Philly. Not a lot of distribution on the East Coast. When an eighth of shrooms costs $35 and takes you to basically same level (but for less time), why isn't $30 a hit reasonable? Still not a good price, but I don't get all the hate. Not all dealers are free-love hippies. You wouldn't get mad at your weed dealer for responding to market pressure.

Reminds me of the "America's Most Wanted Man" story a while back about the Family head that got busted selling doses, agreed to snitch, but then took off instead. Maybe dude on the left has an ace up his sleeve or maybe he's gonna dip country at the first opportunity he gets.

Possible but very highly unlikely due to blotter art's legitimate and expansive presence. It's very reasonable to have many hundreds of sheets of blotter art for any number of reasons. That's why paper isn't illegal. If it were almost all lain acid would be WoW or geltabs.

Here's the deal with this group. They were stupid. These were people that should have been selling tenpacks, not selling individual hits.
They got stupid.
They got greedy.
So they started making a LOT of money, FAST, proceeding with a LOT of transactions.
They did not "earn" their 9500 hits of LSD through traditional means of doubling up and selling tenpacks. They raced to the top, much like Icarus, and fell back to earth quite fast because of their own greed and lack of patience.
They were not connected to chemists. They weren't "high up in family" or anything like that... just a bunch of college kids that found out they could make real money real fast without realizing the heat they brought on themselves.
30 dollars a hit...
They deserved it.
fuck u they deserved it. They werent selling it for 30 bucks a hit u retard

Yeah these numbers are obviously inflated. Cops and media do this all the time. That is pretty common knowledge. Either way getting busted with even one dose can have a very bad effect on your life. I mean it is a felony in every state right? So next time you think anybody deserves jail time for something you probably partake in yourself just think of the potential negative karma/hypocrisy associated with that. I would say at a college that if someone can get away with selling a hit for $30 it is an exception, not any sort of trend.

This is why I typically don't get myself to deep into the game. Because I, like 90% of the people would roll in a split second if I was faced with anything more than a 5 year sentence. It's easy to say you wouldn't. Not so easy when you are the one facing the time.
Anything I have in my possession and deal with, I am willing to accept the consequences for.
My peoples.. don't do the crime if ya can't do the time !!!
this if fucking sad... I really wanna keep up on their case and see how this turns out.

Oh yeah. And to the people talking about them getting greedy and "going to the top to quickly" and all that B.S. Selling hits for 30$ a piece... Let not this article stand out from the rest of the majorly poorly reported news with totally wrong information. We don't know shit about these guys and their click so stop acting like you do just because the 2 minute video... For all we know they were great dealers who had been dealing quality, fair priced stuff for years. You don't believe the police with other reports so why would you on this one ???

no its people like you who are duped into to thinking they would actually serve 5 years that narc out and cause other people real troubles.
so which is it? would you nark if you were facing 5 years or would you accept the consequences if it was yours? because you contradicted yourself in your post. im just trying to clarify.
no one narcs + people driving correctly + not being a complete dumbass = no one gets busted
IF YOU GET BUSTED SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH, THE COPS ARNT TRYING TO HELP YOU. YOU ARE ONLY DIGGING A DEEPER HOLE FOR YOURSELF.
if idiots only knew to shut their fucking traps, they would get few charges (or at the very least, less evidence for a case) for themselves and keep someone who didnt fuck up (besides dealing to you) out of trouble.

What the fuck are you talking about ? Im not contradicting shit. "a few charges" could be a life sentence. When someone is facing something something like that, they will more than likely roll. I was saying anything more than 5 years and I would roll...(I wouldn't like to think so but I known damn well I would shaking in my boots if I was facing something like 40 years. So would your ass) that's why I don't deal with anything that would get me more than five years. Five years is the max that I'm willing to serve. Everyone talks a big game but I know damn well that people roll like mad. They aren't trying to help you.. of course. They are cutting you a fucking deal (helping eachother) They are getting someone worth more to them than you are. I'm highly against snitching, ive proven it to and not givin into the pressure. That's why I wouldn't fuck with anything that could get me a serious sentence. Because I loathe snitches and I would never want to be in that situation because I realize how shitty it would be.

ok kiddies..what im referring to pussies getting caught with amount thats a maximum sentence 5 years sentence, listening the big bad police man tell them they are going to get 5 years. they then snitch on someone and get probation which is what they would have got in the first place if they wouldnt have said a fucking word about their business or any one elses.
people that say if i facing _______ time i would snitch are fucking stupid, most snitching happens way before any kind of deals are made. you arnt given a choice of snitching and getting this time or not snitching and getting this amount. the cops that bust you arnt the d.a., judge and jury.
damn im glad i keep tards like you out of my business...
edit- and if you dont know the rule, dont say fucking word if you get busted for anything, you shouldnt be allowed near drugs...

To further your point, the police often trick people into thinking that they are going to be getting much worse charges than they would receive, if they would just shut up till their lawyer was present.
They will trick you by saying "we know that you did A, because suspect B has spilled his guts"; when suspect B has never been contacted, and they just want you to feel the pressure.
They will say that they have this and that on your records; outright lie, they are in no way not allowed to lie right to your face and try to scare / trick you.
Its fucked up; the police are TRAINED to get dumb kids / people with no experience to squeal when facing MINOR charges, or even possibly, NOTHING AT ALL. Its a sick game, and they succeed all the fucking time

ok kiddies..what im referring to pussies getting caught with amount thats a maximum sentence 5 years sentence, listening the big bad police man tell them they are going to get 5 years. they then snitch on someone and get probation which is what they would have got in the first place if they wouldnt have said a fucking word about their business or any one elses.
people that say if i facing _______ time i would snitch are fucking stupid, most snitching happens way before any kind of deals are made. you arnt given a choice of snitching and getting this time or not snitching and getting this amount. the cops that bust you arnt the d.a., judge and jury.
damn im glad i keep tards like you out of my business...
edit- and if you dont know the rule, dont say fucking word if you get busted for anything, you shouldnt be allowed near drugs...
Lol "kiddies". You don't know shit son. You were referring to my post. You quoted me. Im realistic. Not a little billy badass like you. I'm sure your business isn't anything more than a half zip anyways. Explain to me why me saying that If I was looking at 40 years I would more than likely snitch is stupid ? just because you think you wouldn't ? youre one backwards asshat my friend. I bet a vast amount of people who snitch are the ones that parade around saying "fuck snitches" ten times a day. And yea, you are givin a choice to snitch. If you get busted with a health stash of drugs on a second offense you can count on some years. If you cooperate you can possibly get yourself off the hook completely.

To further your point, the police often trick people into thinking that they are going to be getting much worse charges than they would receive, if they would just shut up till their lawyer was present.
They will trick you by saying "we know that you did A, because suspect B has spilled his guts"; when suspect B has never been contacted, and they just want you to feel the pressure.
They will say that they have this and that on your records; outright lie, they are in no way not allowed to lie right to your face and try to scare / trick you.

Well yeah... we all know that. Or I at least hope that we all know that.
Dude Im talking about someone who caught with some DRUGS. Not some chump kid that got pulled over with an ounce of weed and was scared because the police told him he was going to do time. If you don't know the penalties you are facing and fall for their shit than bad on ya know ?
If I got bused with a pound of weed. No big deal. I'd do the time. If I for some reason got busted with a trunk full of coke.. I could count on getting 20+ years and that's when the snitching comes in. Dude.. when you threaten someone with 20 years of their life it's a big deal. I don't care how macho they were before. You wont know until that pressure is on you.

Yep. Dude Ive heard some real bullshit from cops before. I got threatened with 3 months in jail for longboarding once lol.
I stick with the "do what you have to do" line. That's one part of the law I understand very clearly. Anything you say will ONLY do you harm.
They are good at entangling people. If you are with say, 4 people. You better make sure all 4 of them are going to shut the fuck up or those games will start. The will come at you with lines like " so your buddy over there says the weed is yours " or " your 3 friends all say that it was your idea".
As long as you trust your peeps than your good.

Investigators believe the ring operated on the Drexel University campus, selling LSD for over a year before it was busted. The D.A. says the group was selling the drug for $10 to $30 a hit. Investigators estimate the defendants were clearing $5,000 to $15,000 a week during that time period.
I'm quite certain no one has ever sold or purchased a hit of LSD for $30, ever. Cops love to bust people, if possible get those "dope on the table" pictures for the magazine and T.V with the mayor or something, and make a big fuss about how they took x amount of dollars worth of whatever off the street, exaggerating the amount so fucking much.
I've read SO many articles on here about busts where they listed the price of different drugs or how much 1 hit or dose goes for and it shocks me how much they are able to bullshit that and editors or writers do nothing about it and don't question a thing.

They are outstanding people, and good phamily. It's a shame that they are going down like this because someone didn't want to take a pot charge, which is the simplest charge you can get in philly. I'm sure the cops were not digging information but just like the article said, some college student punked out and spilled his guts on his 1st bust for m.j. The fact that we all know about it means the feds don't care what they have to say, or they did not say anything else to aid them because they would have never announced the bust in order to lure in whomever their supplier is. I know for a fact that those dudes never sold their doses for more than $5 or $7 and it was always straight clean pham products. It's a shame they were wasting the products on Drexel students. That's where the Karma kicks in. This is why phamily doses should stay in the phamily. It's also why we make deemsterz. peace, love, unity, & respect.

Actually liquid weighs MORE than paper, so your carrier weight would be a lot higher than if it was on paper. They did re-do the sentencing guidelines back in the mid-1990s (remember FAMM?), so every hit should now be 400ug when calculating sentencing. But with liquid, who is to say how much is there?
If they do not know that the LSD is actually in its final form, you can at least argue in court the argument these 2 gave;

CounterCulturest said: This is why I typically don't get myself to deep into the game. Because I, like 90% of the people would roll in a split second if I was faced with anything more than a 5 year sentence. It's easy to say you wouldn't. Not so easy when you are the one facing the time.
Anything I have in my possession and deal with, I am willing to accept the consequences for.
My peoples.. don't do the crime if ya can't do the time !!!
this if fucking sad... I really wanna keep up on their case and see how this turns out.
no its people like you who are duped into to thinking they would actually serve 5 years that narc out and cause other people real troubles.
so which is it? would you nark if you were facing 5 years or would you accept the consequences if it was yours? because you contradicted yourself in your post. im just trying to clarify.
no one narcs + people driving correctly + not being a complete dumbass = no one gets busted
IF YOU GET BUSTED SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH, THE COPS ARNT TRYING TO HELP YOU. YOU ARE ONLY DIGGING A DEEPER HOLE FOR YOURSELF.
if idiots only knew to shut their fucking traps, they would get few charges (or at the very least, less evidence for a case) for themselves and keep someone who didnt fuck up (besides dealing to you) out of trouble.
First of all - regardless of how I feel about snitching, at least the guy is being straight up and honest. I believe a LOT of people will betray others to save their own skin. I've had it happen to me.
However, I fully agree with Pilz - usually people snitch and have no IDEA on the time they're facing and the cops scare them into snitching over some BS. Many years ago there was a chemist Franklin, he was ratted out and went to prison. His wife then was mailing some pages from Berkley and the person she mailed them to got busted for a f*@king DUI and snitched and put these people away for LONG time (Frankiln got 40 years, and was just paroled last year after doing about 20 years.
The girl with the DUI wouldn't have even done time I'd bet. They had a kid and now that child had to grow up w/o his parents (his mom did 10 years I believe) Now they're all out, but really struggling.

Exactly!
This was published yesterday - they gave a guy 30 years for selling 12 hits in 2009 (Iowa), then they suspended the jail time and gave him 3 years probation.
Quote:
In this case, we find sufficient evidence from which a jury could conclude Peska and Broughton had an agreement to deliver LSD. Broughton testified at trial that Peska was an acquaintance with whom he decided to develop some sort of business relationship. He started selling LSD provided by Peska because, "he had it, and I liked it, and I could get rid of it." Over a period of approximately three months, Broughton testified he received twenty to forty hits of LSD from Peska two to three times a week. From the amount of LSD ordered by Broughton, the jury could reasonably conclude it was not for Broughton's personal use. The text messages sent between Broughton's and Peska's phones also indicate an agreement to sell the LSD Broughton purchased from Peska. On November 20 Broughton wrote, "U get me 40 pez." Peska responded, "Yea 380." Broughton then wrote back, "These things are goin lol." This exchange could be interpreted by a reasonable fact finder as Broughton communicating that he was having success distributing the LSD purchased from Peska.
Their text messages ended up in court, never text drug deals!

im pretty sure the narc got busted with some cid theyre just not saying it. There was a news report where it showed a 200 hit sheet broken off from what looked like the koolaid sheet. Who gets busted and narcs on someone without cause? They probably threatened the guy prison for the 1-2 sheets so he gave up his connect.

I think the article said a student was busted with LSD and a gun and gave information about a "drug ring" operating on campus.
That 2 sheets of Shazaam Kool-Aid were probably the Buy-and-bust purchase they had the 2nd informant purchase.
Notice that all the LSD that they took from the wholesalers was exact - and by that I mean every page is complete, so they were only selling sheets, NO singles.

People charging that much for psychedelics just totally sullies the whole reputation of the psychedelic scene and the morals that most people share and how drugs should be reasonably priced (the people taking the risks do deserve to be compensated), and on occasion when certain people moved enough or are doing well enough, it feels even better to give shit away for free.
That's what sets that scene apart from all the other drug scenes, you'll never find people handing out doses of coke or dope or some drug like that. If you happen to find someone willing to do that it's most likely because they want you to become addicted and make you into a loyal costumer.

Those guys should not have been charging that much for acid..good things never come out of ripping people off. Their motives were to bank on it obviously, sounds like it caught up with them. I would bet someone is more likely to roll on a dealer that charges crazy prices as opposed to one that is fair. Oh well it's sad for those guys' family...I'm sure they will get 20 years or something crazy.

On other forums, it seems clear that Ralph was a good guy and would never sell acid for $30 a hit.
The fact that he worked for the Coalition Against Hunger makes his problems even more sad. It will likely affect a lot of people.

Drexel looks the other way all the time when there are outrageous house parties that are obviously jam packed with people doing illegal activity. There was a heroin stamp for a minute with the Drexel emblem because so many of their students love to get f*ked up. On Ralphy Bear behalf, he was a good guy. Down to earth hippy that would let any road kid traveling through crash at his house, smoke you out and help you if you needed it. I can easily say he would give you the shirt off of his back if you asked. Hell he would let people move in for a period of time if they needed to because they were trying to get back on their feet. Outstanding character, very smart, very polite, someone i plan on sending commissary money too whenever I find out where are they housing him. He never allegedly sold any dose for the prices the media says. Dude with the beard is also kind family of the rainbow type. Dude looking wild I can't vouch for though, Ralphy loved everyone, even if they had a history of being a little shaddy or not because he believed everyone had bright light spirit in them regardless. I sincerely hope he gets a slap on the wrist instead of the book thrown at him. He doesn't deserve to sit in prison for years. No one does for that matter. Considering he was doing a service for humanity by allegedly facilitating the tools of light.

Hi, I'm a reporter for the Philadelphia Daily News. My name's Jason Nark. Seriously.
I've spent a lot of time on the street where Josh Dassay lived in West Philly and I'm trying to find out a little more about the trio and the scene. Neighbors weren't really happy with Josh, and I don't know all that much about Zappala or Crawford.
I realize it's not in anyone's nature to talk about all this publicly and I'm open to talking on background if I have to. If not I understand. I'd really like to talk to Novartis, the guy above this post.
Thanks JN narkj@phillynews.com

I don't know anything personally about the case so I can't be of help, but I do want to say that I appreciate a reporter who does research and tries to get into the illegal scene's side of things.

Thanks. I've spent some time in the neighborhood where some folks were annoyed with the house in question but had no idea anything was going on.
Again, if anyone's willing to talk, even on background, I'm up for it.

Hey does anyone know what's going on with this trio ? How far along the process they are and such. Sentencing maybe ?
I always try to keep up but have a hard time finding the info. I hate reports because the charges are so extreme but lots of time the sentencing is nothing. It's like "Man busted with cocaine is facing 40 years" but then the actual sentence he got was like 2 years and some probation. I'm all about finding out the sentencing lol.
Is there some prison inmate roster that I'm missing ? I can find one for local jails but are there also ones for prisons ?

Yes they are SUPPOSED to want to find out the actual story but come on, just take a look at the shroomery news feed, often see objective news reports when it comes to drugs ? ..
How would you know he's just an honest guy trying to find out the " real story " ? (what's the real story anyway, those guys were busted for LSD? what else is there to the story? the reported lied about them selling a hit for $30 ? big fucking deal, won't change anything in court)
I agree this guy is doing a good job coming here on the shroomery (at least he's making the effort, most journalists wouldn't even bother) but to me it just looks like he's trying to gather personal infos on these guys after they got busted. So once again I ask, what's the purpose ?

Just call the intake prison and ask if they are in the system, if not call the county jail and see if they are there. Write em a letter, go visit em... Support them.

They have a hearing coming up later this month. The reason I was initially interested in the story, as were most people outside of the scene, is that I usually never hear of LSD busts in the area and this one seemed large. 9,500 hits is a lot of doses, right? Or no?
One of the guys is a social worker and an anti-war activist and another one is wanted in nine states. I was interested in finding out who they were.
I was also interested in finding out the exposure they face for a crime like this. I remember stories in the 90s about mandatory minimums and how LSD in particular had bizarre sentencing guidelines. Something about the weight of the paper.. . .
Anyway, I didn't come on here thinking everyone would open up. I expect a little scorn, it's no big deal. I probably wouldn't talk either.

And of course those reasons were completely obvious, even to you
What did you think anyway ? You started calling us names and acting all infuriated before you even knew why he was here. So when you don't agree with someone you don't try and have a respectful conversation, you just start calling them dumbasses ?

Yes, 9500 hits is a lot. Does not mean that they are bad people though. A lot of good, honest people sell acid. Also some shady people sell it.

I wonder what he is wanted for. It is hard to tell the involvement of each person - Perhaps some of them were just there, and others were moving all the acid.

They could get 10 - 20 years.

I think it is great that you are asking about the case here. Please post the story you write when it comes out.
I wish more reporters would research both sides of the story. Especially in drug cases, there are two very different sides. The police say they are the scum of the earth, their friends and family think they are awesome, the truth is somewhere in between.

LSD is such a positive life changing drug and can be such a positive life changing drug. It angers me to see it demonized as some negative evil degenerate thing.
It angers me to see people being put in cages for doing good things for other people. Damn the law enforcement drug profiteers and the US government.

Yes. they come get u out of your pod/dorm ,take u to booking and reprocess u. If a DVI is put in while in jail they come serve it to u as well.
NOW something else that will happen....they will pull a person out for new charges ,take them to booking but will see detectives instead. Snitching.

I think a better interpretation is: once men discover they are fractal dust on a rock floating through space, suddenly socially-approved grooming habits become much less important.
This process isn't rocket science.
I like your perspective.
On an unrelated note: How the hell do you have twice as many posts as my SEVEN YEAR OLD account?!?!!?
Back to the topic: There is another article recently posted in the news section about the "liberty snitch" which may relate to this case. It's a long read, but worth it.
