Seriously, JFC. And it gets worse!
Deputies further reported that the bong water weighed 8 ounces and, somewhat confusingly, that the crystal substance weighed 13.2 grams “in total with the packaging.”
I know cops like to exaggerate their hauls, but this is the first time I’ve seen them claim the packaging as part of the drug weight - because there wasn’t a measurable quantity of the effing drug.
Edit: And the determination that bong water is legally the same as a drug? That hinged on the testimony of a Minnesota State Patrol officer who claimed that drug users keep bong water “for future use… either drinking it or shooting it in the veins.” So some cop makes up some total bullshit, and some credulous judges pass a bullshit ruling that 15 years later is still sending people to prison.
