I,m pretty sure if u don't get arrested and charged initially and even if there is eventually an arrest warrant if your able to avoid that warrant for a year the warrant expires maybe the lawyer on here knows for sure some people for drug warrants move to the virgin islands or guam to avoid warrants territories usually won't send u back for drugs

Unfortunately, from what I've read, that isn't true of felony warrants.

Warrants never expire - the statue of limitations only applies if they have not charged you yet. They might send you back and they might not, depends on where you are and what kind of mood they are in and what you did.

I agree they were just phishing. Its true if they had something they would have acted on it. It wouldnt take weeks for the test. They werent prepared to take this case on.
Cakes do contain actives.
They took these over a month ago? Kind of changes the evidence huh.
I'd wait till you were charged and get a public defender. Its true though you can get consulted and basically shop around. Explain how it went down and they should have a strategy to explain to you for free.
This can give you peace of mind and also help the public defender.
They will basically set bail to take enough money away that you can not run, but be able to live. Plus you havent run yet so it should be easy to prove your not a flight risk.
If it was me I would get a lawyer so you can get your stuff back mostly your possessions and money. They gave you a recite right?
I would shop around more if they are asking for a $10k retainer. You could probably do most of this yourself in writing. In fact a consultation with a lawyer would basically give you the blue print.
They cant just hold your stuff indefinitely without a charge.

I have a lawyer. According to him and other lawyers, it can take several months for the DA to approve a warrant. This happened two months ago. They said the results would take a month to return.Getting my possessions back is very unlikely. It would require another case altogether, which I don't have money for, and would likely lose regardless. The only way I'll get it back is if there are decidedly no charges.

Seems like they don't have any evidence. I wish you the best and keep us posted. Stay out of trouble in the meantime for sure.

They had to catalog all the evidence, send it to a lab, and then present it to a grand jury to file the proper charges against you that will stick.
In my state when you get caught with a non violent felony offense you get charged and released, then around 10 weeks or so pass and they come with the warrant and unseal the indictment. Then they actually book you based on the charges the grand jury decided you were guilty of.
You'll turn yourself in and chances are they won't hold you on bond ( in my state they wouldn't ) they'd let you out on a signature bond with rules and a court date......or they could keep you in county until your arraignment, but chances are with an attorney already and you turning yourself in, I would so it taking a few hours til you return home.....but maybe with an ankle bracelet....
Your lawyer will get a motion of discovery with all the evidence compiled against you, and determine if there's any fuck ups, or ways to get you through a jury of your peers and win. Look that motion of discovery over yourself and do a little research on your states laws, you may find something to help him help you.....but generally lawyers hate that shit and just want you to suck it up and let them do their job.
I wish you the best. I know what it's like. Just stay strong and remember you are a victim, fuck them.

Got a call from my lawyer this morning about two hours before I was supposed to meet him at the District Court. Asked if I could do it next week instead...said the offcer in charge of my investigation was tied up with something else. Also said that they would likely lessen the bail amount as a result. Not sure why, but that's what he said.

It sucks you have to go through all of this. There are real criminals out there right now hurting people but you have to be put through the judicial wringer for hurting nobody. Hopefully, you just get a slap on the wrist. When are we ever going to stop this asinine "war on drugs"?
You've taught me a lesson though. I will now be keeping a fire extinguisher close by when using my alcohol lamp.

I got popped with a lab once. What they are waiting for is to test everything to see what illegal substances that you actually have. So in for example they are testing the Myc jars for psilocin or psilocybin or both depending on what the statutes in your state actually say. Once they know exactly what you had you will be charged.
They actually amended my charge from manufacture psilocybin to manufacture psilocin at my sentencing which took 10 months to reach and I sat in jail the entire time... On the mushroom lab they gave me 10 years and suspended 8, with parole/probation...

Well, that's not very comforting. I have to go to court tomorrow, and then an additional two times(assuming it isn't dismissed) before I either plead guilty or go to trial.

Must've been a decent setup, eh?
May I ask how they caught you?

I've told the story on here before but I think under a diferent name that I have since forgotten. So I will just be brief. I did Grateful Dead tour in the 80's and met people who I slung grams of L with and learned to grow fungus with etc. then I didn't see them for years. In 2001 I got back to hanging out with them again and they were not into the growing fungus any more but I was and they wanted to be again, yada yada yada... So shit kind goes south so we stop hanging out again and a few months later they get popped and the govt threatens to take their children and give them a bunch of time, so they snitched on me. The DEA showed up at my house. It was a massive bust for them. It was very costly for me. end of story.
I do not grow shit anymore...

I am not in prison. 2 years reporting probation. Bunch of fines and fees. Drug eval. Plus they kept the 2k they stole from me, another thousand out of my bail and I owe a friend about $14k for my lawyer.

For that kind of money, your lawyer sucked! Unless you have a bunch of priors. $14k??? Fuck that. I've pain $5k retainers and got off much scarier charges.
