Questions about trading drugs.

Is trading viewed as better than selling in the judicial system? I know there are quite a few members of the shroomery who don't sell but do trade shrooms for other drugs, so I thought it would be good if this were clarified some.
Can police use drugs to trade in stings? I've heard of operations were police do multiple buys -- they couldn't do multiple trades could they? Putting drugs on the street wouldn't seem politically viable for them.

The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people..." President Dwight Eisenhower, 1953

well to clarify right now nobody here trades shrooms...active shrooms are illegal in most places. spores however containing no psychoactive chemicals are legal...microscopy and such

Never ever heard of cops trading drugs......maybe a snitch or two though....but who can really say......
As for just trading or even giving away: it is still considered traficking regardless if money is exchanged or not.....
Just something to keep in mind

This is correct.
I saw a COPS a few years ago where a lady was upset about a 'crack house' located in her area. She went to the crack house and bought some crack and then called the cops to turn the people in from a pay phone down the street. When the cops got there, she gave them the drugs and told them were she got them. The quickly arrested the lady for having drugs and pretty much ignored the crack house.

Was she obviously bullshitting about trying to sting the crackhouse or did she really have good intentions? That's some whacky shit, yo!

I would imagine that it depends on the state, and which drug you were dealing with. I know for sure that in CA you can give someone a GIFT of less than an ounce of pot and it will only count as possession with a 100 dollar fine. info from norml.org

This may seem like an extreme example but it may be one you'll remember....
If you purchase a handgun without a permit, keep it for 20 years, then one day just walk up to someone and shoot them in the head, you'll go to prision for murder.
If you grow mushrooms for 20 years and tell no one, then one day you just give them to a cop, you're going to jail.
It doesn't matter if money is involved, they're still an illegal substance.
And yes, trafficking and possesion would get you busted.

She had good intentions. The cop wasn't too much of an asshole about it... he knew she was trying to do the 'right' thing, but his hands were tied because she had broken the law and he was required by law to arrest her.

Tantalus said: Can police use drugs to trade in stings?
this is an imortant question. say a fellow shroomery member(X) replies to a post of another member (Y) who asks for spores because this person can't have them shipped to their state from one of the legitmate spore vendors. MEMBER X that has the spores says he will send MEMBER Y spores who lives in the state where it is illegal to possess spores.
is there any possible way that a LEO could be MEMBER X and is sending MEMBER Y spores so he/she can bust MEMBER Y? would MEMBER X have a case against MEMBER Y if MEMBER X sent illegal spores in the mail to MEMBER Y. this would seem like some kind of entrapment or something, especially if MEMBER Y was offered (after asking in the Marketplace forum) the illegal spores from MEMBER X for free.
i hope you can follow this one, it seems a little confusing i think but it is a valid question. please respond if you have knowledge on this topic

If he asked in the marketplace forum, then he was not offered. It's like asking around for drugs and ending up buying from an undercover.
Now, if a cop came up to you and offered you a lb of weed for $500, and you bought it without previously asking for it (who wouldn't?), it's entrapment.
