A Molino man was arrested on multiple drug related charges after a search warrant was executed at a local residence.

REGARDING:
“Marijuana still classified as a drug?”
It is a plant containing a drug. Drugs do not become drugs or cease to be drugs based on legislation; legislation simply makes them legal or illegal drugs, controlled or uncontrolled drugs. Psychoactive drugs are drugs which affect the brain.
AND
“I don’t understand why they don’t go after the big boys instead of pee wees.”
Careful. You’ll hurt his feelings, calling him a “peewee.” Pushers can be sensitive too — at least about their own feelings. When you fish, you catch what bites. And one way to go .after the “big boys” is to disrupt their supply lines. Even when they replace their retailers, the newbies are more apt to make mistakes.
AND
“you can see the Xanax weren’t being sold ”
You were talking to a different David, but regarding the Xanax, it is charged out as violation of “possess WITH INTENT TO SELL, manufacture, or deliver, a controlled substance” (893.13.1a2).
They ARE claiming it was intended for sale.
David for literacy
I dont understand why they dont go after the big boys instead of pee wees.
@ Shae
were the other substances being sold? yep!
“possession of a controlled substance (THC) with the intent to sell,”
where do find your facts about it being the second common substance linked to dui ? LOL
National Institute on Drug Abuse.
“After alcohol, marijuana is the drug most often found in the blood of drivers involved in crashes. Tests for detecting marijuana in drivers measure the level of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), marijuana’s mind-altering ingredient, in the blood.”
@David
How educated are you that you don’t know the difference between your and you’re?
How you’ve gotten this far in the world is a mystery.
It dont matter he will get off Scott free like always . Money talks and bs walks.
@ David : also I will go far probably further than you (:
@ Rasheed Jackson : were the other substances being sold ? Nope (: so that’s irrelevant also where do find your facts about it being the second common substance linked to dui ? LOL
@David : no sir you’re obviously the one with less brain cells if you can read then you can see the Xanax weren’t being sold (: the weed as intent to sell beside it not the Xanax
@Rasheed Jackson you must personally not like this guy to go off on the rant that you did over marijuana charges. Jesus. “Selling and distributing drugs is like shooting into an occupied dwelling or car…” that’s comical. Doing drugs is a choice, getting shot at unexpectedly in your home or car however is not. The guy is just trying to stay in business with all the medical marijuana places popping up everywhere. Do your research. Xanax is the only comeback you have and you who’s to say he was even selling that?
@ Shae
It appears you also are a part of the drug problem…you chose to pick up on the pot, not the rest in the story. If your educated enough.
Goes to prove what you do affects your brain cells…
I can tell you will go far in the world.
Rasheed is correct 100%
@shae
Did I mention “weed” in my comment? No.
Were there other controlled substances that this article referred to? Yes.
Can a person die from an over dose of Xanax? Yes. When not taken properly or mixed with other drugs, such as antidepressants, muscle relaxers, or alcohol. Which is why it is a controlled substance.
THC may not be fatal but high use has been connected with negative psychiatric effects. This is especially true in adolescents who may consume large amounts.
THC is the second most common drug found in drivers charged with DUI, alcohol being number one. So, where it may not kill you it can put you in a situation where you are endangering other people’s lives by your actions. So, while you are driving around in your THC induced state of Euphoria you are recklessly endangering the lives of everyone on the road. And that is unacceptable!
@Rasheed Jackson – sorry but I don’t believe weed has ever killed anyone
Umm guys he also got caught with xanax thats a very addictive narcotic so apparently he sells more than pot!! Use your heads people pills need to ve taken off the street there ruining our community
Great job catching someone with a little marijuana
Seriously??? Marijuana still classified as a drug? When the benifits outweigh any, risk its time to give it up! Legalize it already!
Crazy the time and money they waste catching people with marijuana when parts of the country can literally walk in a gas station and get it. Seems like it’s more about money than drugs. Catch a crack dealer!
He sould be held without bond. Selling and distributing drugs is like shooting into an occupied building or car. you have no idea who your drugs will end up hitting, and they could very well cause the ruination of a person’s life, if not death.
We need to get serious about the drug problem that has plagued our communities and destroyed lives and families or legalize it all together. The catch and release program isn’t doing anything but keeping a bunch of lawyers busy. And guess who is footing the bill? Yep, you guessed it the tax payers. The State is paying to prosecute and State is paying public defenders to defend them. Time to stop the money train!
