Three years' jail for LSD possession

An Invercargill man was yesterday sentenced to three years' jail for possessing LSD for supply, despite claiming the drug was no longer the highly hallucinogenic concoction it was 30 years ago.
Jade Nathan John Maguire, 29, appeared for sentence before Judge Raoul Neave after earlier admitting possessing the class A drug for supply at Queenstown on January 18. Maguire's lawyer, Roger Eagles, said Maguire was caught with 181 LSD tablets, for which he had paid $5000. While he acknowledged there was a commerciality to the set up, he planned to sell the tablets to fund his own habit, rather than make serious money, Mr Eagles said.
Maguire had also claimed the drug was not as strong as the version prevalent in the 1970s.
Judge Neave said regardless what Maguire claimed as to the strength of the drug, there was no scientific evidence before the court to support his claim.
The LSD had an estimated street value of between $25 and $50 per tablet and while he initially claimed he was simply the drug courier, Maguire had since accepted he stood to profit from its sale. Jail was the appropriate sentence for Maguire's offending but it was hoped the Parole Board and Corrections Department would investigate any drug rehabilitation he might need, he said.
Judge Neave also advised Maguire to look at the people he associated with to avoid reoffending.

I wouldn´t really call that easy, but I agree 100% with the ´hes a dumb fuck´ statement you made. I wonder if the ´´I bought that much to try and be the first lsd suicide case ever´ defense would work? LOL. Fuck anything but ´I was gonna sell that shit´ would have been better.....

He got off easy?
The dude blew 5 g on two sheets?
Got popped with it, and admitted he was dealing it.....what the fuck?
I would smack my lawyer in the fucking head.....he used the defense that lsd isnt as potent now? What goddamn argument is that? Who pays top dollar for something, then uses the excuse it's shitty?
And the guy is 29.....how the hell would he know what acid was like in the 70's? What the hell is up with this article?

In ohio the most time you can do for possession of lsd is 12 months in prison. It goes by weight here....I'm assuming in his state too....I'm curious to hear his actual charge, and defense, as opposed to this reporters version of it.
This article just reeks of stupidity on all ends.

Judge Neave might be onto something here. I think this guinness should take his advice.

Acids probably pretty scarce in New Zealand the price might actually be that high.

He's probably correct in saying that the acid he owned is much weaker than the stuff of the 70's. In that case, $50 a tab sounds a little steep.

Yes, even nearly 20 years ago that was the going rate in NZ, but generally $20-30. But you gotta figure in the exchange rate too.
Not too sure of the "scene" today but I imagine is reasonably scarce here.
Seemed to be a bit a more common in the mid 1990s with rave culture etc, but we had the idea that in a lot of cases what was getting sold as one hit was actually really 1/4 perforated.
