Troopers seize more than 900 pounds of nitrous oxide on turnpike
[quoteA bag of pot and more than 900 pounds of a chemical that can be used as a hallucinatory agent have been seized.
RICHFIELD TWP. Troopers arrested a New York man and seized 939 pounds of nitrous oxide and a bag of marijuana when they pulled him over on the Ohio Turnpike, according to a news release from the Ohio Highway Patrol.
Troopers stopped a rented 2017 Ford Expedition driven by Evangelos R. Scullion, 41, of Dansville, N.Y., shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday for a marked-lanes violation. The vehicle, which bore a New York registration, contained the illegal weed and about $177,471 worth of nitrous oxide, which can be used as a hallucinatory agent, according to the release.
Scullion was booked into the Summit County Jail on a charges of trafficking in harmful intoxicants, a fourth-degree felony. The charge carries upon conviction a maximum penalty of 18 months in prison and a $5,000 fine.

Wow I know what I'm going to traffic, nitrous oxide. A maximum of 18 months. You'd get a whole lot longer you had $170,000 of marijuana

Honestly that's a pretty low ball price. If they were piecing that out balloon for balloon they could easily double that.

900 pounds of nitrous oxide is only 206491.2 liters of it at atmospheric pressure. Or 4074.4 liters of it at 745psi(tank pressure)

I guess they weighed the tanks and counted them as nitrous oxide too.

Sounds like they're neither intelligent nor qualified enough to be busting people then

I was under the impression that the weight of the tank was how much weight in gas it could hold, not including the tank itself? Like a "Whippit" is 8 grams of nitrous. Am I mistaken?

Like a 10 lb tank I had once weighed 17.4ish filled, then only 7.4 empty. This was 13 years ago so maybe my memory is serving me incorrectly.

That may be correct(or close to it) Vandago. But cops ALWAYS way the carrier weight, they are told to, it allows them to up the charges to a ridiculous level so the ADA can come after the perp real hard then appear to offer a "great" plea bargain, if you plea out then you lose the right to appeal based on the fact that they used the carrier weight.

Surprised there's a market for this, I thought anybody could get a tank.

Any one can buy the automotive stuff with the irritant in it. otherwise its usually either filtered or stolen.
the stuff is actually quite fun with a appropriate amount, A balloon or even cases of the cartridges is not even a tease.

Pretty sure 97% or something rediculous of felony cases are plea deals.

Overcharging is the main reason why. Not only will they find ways to elevate legitimate charges higher than the law should allow, but they will tack on multiple minor charges that are mostly bullshit, as many as impressive mental gymnastics could possibly construe to be legitimate, but that would of course be dropped or adjudicated not guilty if you fought them, but by choosing to fight even if found not guilty on 4/5 charges, they will throw the book at you for the last one and end up getting a more harsh punishment than if you had just plead out in the beginning.
It makes it easier to accept a plea deal involving inflated and trumped up charges when you weigh it against fighting them and receiving the maximum sentence for the one you can't beat.

Who cares. Nitrous is sold in every headshop nearby
And when i went to "gathering of the vibes" (gateful dead fest)
Someone was literally killed with a nitrous tank in the back of the head. By the self proclaimed "nitrous mafia". Fuck that whole scene. Every two seconds thered be someone walking by yelling "doses! Headies! Sass!"
And that "sass" was terrible. Prolly not even actual mdma. Or MDA (i love mda, and even apb) Looked brown. Roll sucked. Acid was okay. Not anything too hreat either,
Ps nitrous is legal AFAIK. Its not even rc status.

Thats not quite accurate. Never use automobile n20. But anyone can buy Mcuh safer n20 as a propellant. And tanks arent that tough either. But automobile crap is meant to be a deterrent.

Posession of nitrous in Ohio is legal, and only transportation without a license is illeagal, and any marijuana under 200g is a citation. Unless the law has changed when I wasn't watching... Furthermore nitrous can be bought for like 5-15lb wholesale so I find their numbers ridiculous.

Evidence found in an illegal search can sometimes result in the dismissal of a case. People are condemned and released on a technicality.
