Minnesota high court: Bong water can count as illegal drug

The Minnesota Supreme Court says bong water can qualify as a controlled substance.

In a split decision today, the high court says a person can be prosecuted for a first-degree drug crime for 25 grams or more of bong water that tests positive for a controlled substance.

The decision comes in the case of a Rice County woman. Items seized from her home included a glass bong — a type of water pipe often used to smoke drugs. It contained over an ounce of liquid that tested positive for the presence of methamphetamine.

The Supreme Court says that counts as a drug "mixture" under state law. It noted that the liquid wasn't plain water, but had a pink color and fruity odor. A narcotics officer testified that drug users sometimes keep bong water to drink later.

WOW...what a load of shit. yeah douchebag, we drink the bong water and throw up the rest of the day.

I think the court is saying because it had meth in it made it a "controlled substance" not bong residue or resin. still the narcotics officer is retarded.

I'll cross them off the list of potential places to move to...




Not that I would ever consider living in Minnesota....YIKES! its cold there in the winter.

 

[Throwgar]

Psst! Hey! Buddy! I've got some dank ass bong water for ya! Only 50 bucks!

Ahem, BULLSHIT!

 

[Sheriff Bart]

hey we are usually really friendly here but some people do have a problem with the meth but thats mostly in the southern part of the state

and sure the winter might suck some ass, but the summers here are like nowhere else! although it is sort of a short season....

how do you get grams of water?

Anyways, dumb, but kind of dumb to not clean your bongs too.

I have about 20 bongs, you know how many have water sitting in them...none

Just remember that water gets nasty after one bowl, what is teh sense of deep inhaling vapor from bong water

 

[resinryder]

That's just stupid, eh!

 

[rambone]

got that fire bong ice cubes from cali yo, 10 a gram

 

[odin_]

not much different from them scraping your bowl to test it positive for thc to charge you for it

well i guess they weighed this and i am sure that an ounce of meth is big fucking trouble

they will probably start scraping resin out to weigh that too...

 

[Megas]

Who's this narcotics officer and wow thats pretty stupid. I agree with the one comment this idiot should be charged with perjury.

 

[Bababooey]

I'm confused. Supposedly this bong water was pink and fruity smelling. If she was indeed smoking meth through this bong, it's hard to believe that meth smoke would make the water turn pink and fruity smelling. I have no experience with meth other than what ive seen on tv and movies, but burning anything and smoking it through water is going to dirty that water up pretty bad, wouldn't it?
Maybe it's this fact that led the court to rule the way they did. Otherwise, if it smelled like regular dirty old bong water, I doubt the court would have believed anyone would drink it....

[Blue Dot]

A "split-decision"??

Are idiotic decisions really that hard to notice?

 

[FreezerBoy]

As a 60s child I've sampled more than my share of many things but ... Bong Water?!? WTF?

 

[PnkFloydianSlip]

That is some bullshit..

ATTN: MINNESOTA BONG SMOKERS!

Seems Bong water now counts as a controlled substance!

From the source article, it seems if you have 25 grams or more of bong water with any TRACE of a controlled substance, you can get an extra charge. Granted, the source does say this chick's bong water tested positive for meth, but if you leave any traces or THC in your bong water it definitely sets precedence to charge ya i would assume! Be careful n dump your bongs after you're done!

....

By weighing it.

1ml of water = 1 gram
