He had 25.9 grams on him. I first read it as 25.9 pounds.

Mari-juana? Someone's a troublemaker up to no good. I'd say this is the kind of crime worthy of a felony charge. I, like the law, am just thinking of the children.

lol 26 grams is not even an ounce. That's a felony?

[Little Slide Rooter]

First he's traded to the Astros, now this. It has not been a good year for this kid.

I'm stunned by this. I hear everyone in Houston smokes pot.

[KingKongvs.Godzilla]

I hear everyone smokes pot.

 

Fixd for accuracy.

Wasn't he also busted for PED's when he was in the Braves system?

He was driving while high and took a toke right next to officers at a stoplight. Still think he's a fine, upstanding citizen?

yes. He's been no where near the same talent since he returned. The power is gone.

wow, hard to believe that an ounce is a felony, yet another reason to stay out of florida.

[minnesotacubsfan]

but you're not real

I thought Yeti wasn't allowed cross state lines anyway.

Over 20 is a felony, as it's intent to distribute.

 

26 grams is more bags than one hand could fit, maybe, it's close.

When I was in the Peace Corps in Jamacia I once paid $12USD for a pound of the most resiny buds I've ever seen. I had no idea how much ganja was in a pound. It was more than I could smoke before mold set in (about a month).

 

I haven't smoked weed since I separated from the PC in 96, but I probably would if it were legal.

In dime bags, probably not.

 

In your hand, one with a brain would swallow, shove it up ass/vagina, stuff in bra, etc.

 

We can probably assume Schafer had it in dime bags.

 

 

Not an expert, fyi. The following is really all the "knowledge" I can comment on for the subject: (edited in...) The main point is weed's value per gram is a lot... so 26 grams is a big number. And a dime bag, which Schafer likely contained the drug in, typically does not hold more than 1 gram. You can assume Schafer had 30+ bags, and easy to determine he had the intent to distribute - which is a felony. Probably more information than you bargained for....

isn't a dime bag like 5 grams? that would be only 5 bags.

I just looked it up since I wasn't sure on anything outside of hearsay... I guess in Chicago it's 1.5-2.0

did not know there were regional variations in dime bag weight.

 

anyway, marijuana laws are dumb and should go away.

that's between an eighth and a quarter whereas a dime bag is a sixteenth
