Woman faces 30 years in prison after bong water is found during Minnesota traffic stop

Drug paraphernalia was decriminalized in the state, even if it contains drug residue, but the reform did not change an existing law that treats bong water as a controlled substance.

She also asked that her vehicle and cash she won at the casino be returned to her “because it is not subject to forfeiture.”

Sucks for her but I'm betting that cash has already been spent.

Well I thought I would respond to this thread differently, than read the article.

First paragraph

“A North Dakota woman pulled over by deputies in Minnesota could face up to 30 years in prison after a bong containing water that tested positive for methamphetamine was found in her car.”

Water with meth in it is meth.

right, but had it just been a crack pipe with meth residue on it, it would not have been criminal.

Doing meth isn't common sense, lady.

Would need to know some more details that are not reported.

Not normal for meth to be in bong water…and why would they even actually send it in to be tested?

So my question would be, did she get pulled over and quickly dispose of an 8 ball in to the water so it would dilute? If so she would have known it would be rather easy to get the meth back out if she wanted.

Yes, but don't you think the penalty is a bit excessive?

Meth addicts aren’t exactly renowned for their intellect.

 

[ZachJump]

I take “faces 30 years” to mean nothing.

Let me know after sentencing.

 

[seminole97]

Should only cost about 1.3 million to lock her up for 30 years. Not accounting for inflation, of course.

The case the rule relies on had testimony where a state trooper said that marijuana addicts keep bong water so they can inject it.

 

[DirtyJohns97]

The testimony given in the trial was that marijuana addicts keep bong water so they can inject it.

That's a pretty well know fact

 

[Moral]

That would be meth'd up if she got 30 years.

 

[ZachJump]

The more I think about, the more this is not ridiculous.

I have been open about that 20 years ago I did meth.

If you are going to say it bing diluted in a liquid should not be treated as having the drug…that would be weird.

I would commonly throw in some in a Mountain Dew bottle and carry it with me. Easy to use, digesting it works very well, and really didn’t have worry about someone catching me with the drug on me.

Still was the drug…still carried the same impact as if it was in sitting a mirror next to a straw.

So if someone that shoots that drug (I never did..but was around it) has a needle loaded up an ready to go..it is no longer the drug?

It’s going to be diluted in water.

 

[The Tradition]

Murderers don't get 30 years in Minnesota.

 

[NoleinATL]

Um, the bong is the least of the issues as that could be argued as paraphernalia

hard to argue a
a glass jar containing a “crystal substance”
is paraphernalia

 

[lucas80]

Well, if Google is accurate she's an RN. Or, was an RN.

Wouldn’t surprise me. Not something I have heard of since the crossover in meth and pot users is not normal for regular users of either.

But I did know plenty the injected that carried around water what was set up with the meth so they did not have to take the time to prepare every time they wanted a hit.

I bet you have some interesting tweaker stories.

I have a friend who got into it briefly. Turning point for him was getting super high, then at like 5 am he decided to go fishing. He borrowed a pole from a friend’s garage and headed down to the bridge that was in the center of the small town. People he knew well started driving by around dawn and giving him the WTF? look. When he came down he was so embarrassed he swore it off and I’m pretty sure has been clean since.

He told me about another time him and a couple other guys got all high and were convinced undercover cops were about to raid the house they were in. They could even see them hiding in the bushes across the street. They barricaded all of the doors and hatched an escape plan. Then they were convinced their plan was foiled and prepared for the cops to rappel from the roof into the upper story windows. There were never any cops, purely tweaker imagination.

Weird shit. Don’t know how that stuff appeals to anybody.

Saw plenty of people get the noids.

Never understood it or get like that. My girlfriend at the time spent months tearing out the walls looking for the cameras I hid (I didn’t obviously)

I got to the point where I slept at least a couple hours everyday…had to do a line to go to sleep.

After the first year I actually just spent 22 hours a day programming and my communication with the outside world was all through AIM.

I was not in a big hurry to hang out with others I knew that did the drug. Knew plenty of smart people that did the drug…and you would never know.

The other thing I discovered was that the most the people that did stupid shit while on the drug was not because of the drug…they would have done stupid shit without it.

Turned into a physical hermit…but my number of posts around the internet was in the millions

Oh I lived on Fremont back in 2000. Knew everyone that worked at the Western by name

Past life. If I was afraid of my past I probably would not use a username that matched my drivers license.

I didn't realize how early it was. Been waiting on a part in Elko and ate some acid for lunch at this motel and then it stormed and there was a rainbow

 

[Bank of Hawk]

Meth is a gateway drug to much worse things, like being blackmailed by someone taking a video of you smoking meth and demanding anal sex like P Diddy. Still can’t believe he did that stuff.
