Trafficking Baking Soda December 13, 2007 - wkrg.com
A few pounds of baking soda landed Malcolm Williams in hot water. Police say he sold the household product as cocaine!
The 17,000 dollar deal went down in West Mobile on Wednesday.
Undercover agents bought 2 kilos of what they were told was cocaine. Mobile Police tell us that Williams claimed the coke was being brought in from Atlanta.
Shortly after being arrested, Williams reportedly admitted to police that he faked the drug deal for the money!
Officer John Young with the Mobile Police Department says since he presented it as the real deal... he still gets charged with trafficking! "If you sell M&Ms as tablets to get high, if you sell baking soda as if it's cocaine or if you sell oregano as if it's marijuana, those charges are the same. You're presenting that substance as the illegal narcotic."
Cocaine trafficking carries a penalty of up to 99 years in prison!

Then I should be OK selling cocaine as baking powder since baking powder es a legal non-narcotic.
BTW, it's funny how freely they use the word narcotic, cocaine's everything but narcotic.

Funnybunny that is pretty funny. And other dude, ridiculous is not spelled with an E. You wouldn't spell ridicule with an E so why would you spell ridiculous with an E? In case you are retarded, they are both sort of the same word.

Ah only In America.
And youd think b4 dropping 17k on coke youd take a bit onto a knife and taste it and snort a line of it.

This charge is retarded. The man should be charged with fraud and not trafficking.
What if he sold the cop a gun and told him it was cocaine? Is that still trafficking?

Prosecuting someone for selling something legal as a controlled substance is just so stupid. Where do they get off with this stuff? So unbelievable.
Although I'm glad that dude is going to jail. People selling fake drugs should have their ass kicked.

wtf, the person that came up with this law should feel very ashamed. how can one be that stupid?
-------------------- "The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenatrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sent iment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself amoung profoundly religious men." -Albert Einstein

Mobile is in Alabama, not Louisiana.
It doesn't make since to be getting cocaine from ATL when you're living in a port city which is known for supplying good coke.

at least they didn't mistake garlic for shrooms LOLZ. But I don't understand a law that says if someone is stupid enough to buy something that is obviously not what it is intended to be then you are sentenced to life. So even if you sold them a cake and said "yo this coke iz legit" you'd go to jail because some idiot bought a cake.
