Damn gas prices are hurting everyone!

[waggy]

tribune

A Northwest Indiana man facing drug charges allegedly told a police informant he's charging customers an extra $25 because high gas prices have boosted his delivery expenses.


According to Porter County court records, 18-year-old Anthony Salinas of Hammond told a confidential source for the county's drug task force in June that with rising gas prices, he had to add the extra charge to the $215 he allegedly was charging for 7.2 grams of cocaine.


Salinas then raised the price to $250 for what turned out to be 7.5 grams that he delivered in Portage on June 26, records state.


Salinas promised the price would drop to $230 on the next deal, according to records.


Porter County authorities charged Salinas with two counts of dealing cocaine on Sept. 8, but he was no longer in the Porter County Jail as of Wednesday. If convicted, he could face up to 100 years in prison.

They will use any solvent they can get their hands on. Benzene, Tuolene, JP4 have all been used successfully.

Ever wonder why they "taste"different, despite being made the same way?

I expect there are many people who haven't wondered that, since they haven't tried coke.

Geez.

Why don't they just use acetone? At least it evaporates clean away.

Benzene... JP4... :Q Yikes.

No wonder I've never tried coke. lol

IMHO, Ether or acetone was the best, but the US quit exporting large quantities quite awhile back for some unknown reason. :roll:

He could get 100 years in prison for dealing 15 grams of coke? Meanwhile, the executives at Lehman will get millions of dollars as they leave thousands of people without jobs... Go justice!

I mean.. You have to murder someone to face the possibility of 100 years in prison. Maybe even more than 1 person! That is outrageous. How can these people live with themselves?

Well, realistically, he probably won't see any jail time if he has a good lawyer, but the mere idea is outrageous.

At least he was honest. My quarter ounces were usually a little under 7 grams. :frown:
