18-wheeler had pot, LSD, magic mushrooms

October 6, 2015
Brooklyn, N.S. - A 39-year-old man is facing charges after the RCMP seized a large quantity of drugs from a transport truck in Nova Scotia’s Hants County.
Police stopped the 18-wheeler on Highway 14 in Brooklyn, N.S. on Thursday as part of an ongoing investigation.
“We were able to track an 18-wheeler that we knew had a specific amount of drugs onboard. Through the investigation we decided to pull it over,” said Staff Sgt. Darrell Gaudet, of the Halifax Regional
Officers searched the truck and seized a large quantity of drugs:
• 609.5 pounds of cannabis marijuana
• 19,800 tablets of LSD
• 3.9 pounds psilocybin, or magic mushrooms
• 47 methamphetamine pills
• A small quantity of cocaine and methamphetamine
Police also seized the 2007 Peterbilt tractor and trailer.
Police say the intercepted drugs were destined for the streets of Halifax and that the cargo came from another province, outside the Maritimes.
The LSD police seized was printed on bright, colourful sheets of paper marked with teddy bears.
“You can't trust what is in these types of pills that are coming down…It is basically organized crime making these drugs so we can't trust what they put in them,” said Gaudet.
The driver was arrested and is facing four counts of trafficking in a controlled substance and one count of possession of a controlled substance.
David Joseph MacDonald of Frasers Mills appeared in court on Thursday and was released on conditions.
He is due to appear in Kentville provincial court on Oct. 27.

I heard this on the radio on my way to work the other day. Sad stuff. Way to go RCMP, thank you for getting all of those harmless drugs off the street. I mean yeah there's meth, but 47? Those were for the trucker.

I wonder what sort of "investigation" they pulled off to realize this guy was trafficking drugs..
-------------------- Do not let psychedelics allow you to think lower of people who haven't done them or don't plan on doing them because "they don't know the truth". Let your enlightenment acknowledge that everyone is equal and that no one is inferior. This mentality goes against what they are meant for. By the way, everything typed on this account is completely fictional and all for the purpose of entertainment.

My friend has a cdl and they are extremely strict about going to every weigh station. Usually always cops at stations. So they probably saw him fly past it and wondered why. If had nothing on the back of the trucks flatbed he probably wouldn't care.

Perhaps you could join some drug reform organizations. Also schedule meetings with your elected representatives and tell them about drug prohibition.
Everyone thinks they can do nothing, and that is not true.

Majority of cops are pawns just like you. They are the henchmen of the true criminals. Majority of cops are simply following orders that the "higher ups" issued, i.e. laws, policies, etc enacted by politicians and policy makers. Some of those higher ups are criminal organization themselves, such as the NSA, CIA, ATF, and DEA. To "off" a pawn doesn't do shit to affect the top of the pyramid and it is a selfish way to vent your frustration and will only strengthen the opposition. As others have said you have to engage in Civil Disobedience and support reform organizations. You claim you live in the USA and nothing can be done but that is simply not true; It is only true if you subscribe to that particular defeatist attitude. Killing innocent people is not the answer.

Dude was trafficking in large amounts of drugs though...do you think that people should be allowed to do that and get off it?
I'm fully against the war on drugs, but if this guy had personal amounts this wouldn't have even made the news. He likely wouldn't even do jail time over it here in Canada if it was personal amounts, he MIGHT get probation if it wasn't his first offense.
He had enough weed shrooms and LSD to get a lot of people high, and was likely making a ton of money off it and paying no taxes on said money.

I'm not following your point.
I think if the dude is taking the risk of transporting a big amount of illegal substances then making a small profit off of it is fair.

My point is, even if drugs are legalized trafficking large amounts of them is still going to be against the law. This dude wouldn't be exempt even if the war on drugs was ended, unless he had a licensed store or something to sell those amounts from, which I doubt.
I don't disagree with him making a profit, but if you get caught, you're going to do the time. Also, he was probably making a large profit not a small one. Hopefully the amount he made is worth the time he's going to do.
I probably should have worded what I said a little better.
I've trafficked drugs before too. I'm not perfect either. I was just trying to ask mrbart4444 how he felt about the whole trafficking aspect of it.
Again, if it was small amounts the guy probably wouldn't do any jail time and might get probation. If there was jail time it would be minimal.

You are speaking realistically but in a non-oppressive world we would be able to sell as many drugs as we wanted. People are way too familiar with judging other people instead of the system that made them the subject of judgement in the first place.
