[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago (1 child) Skorea out here busting a small time dealer and 12 customers with a huge multinational raid, bloody pathetically sad of them. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Ryantific_theory@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (2 children) For real, I knew a guy that kept an ounce as his daily supply. As in, he'd set aside an ounce each day for casual smoking with friends. This whole four month raid was over three days of heavy college smoking. The demonization of marijuana is such a ridiculous waste, and leads to weird stuff like selling K2, which is a shittier version of weed, with actual risks as you can overdose on K2. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 14 points 2 years ago (2 children) It's not even a shittier version of weed; it's whatever random chemical the supplier could find that's legal that day and has vaguely weed-like effects in whoever they decided to test it on. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Ryantific_theory@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Well, it's a cluster of synthetic cannabinoids, but it was officially banned by the DEA after they finally skipped past the banning specific molecules and banned the entire family of cannabinoids, so it's no longer the molecule of the month special. Still not ideal though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Cool, my information was pretty old. For once the DEA made a good decision. The main reason I quit using it pretty quickly was that I didn't like the idea of getting different substances without warning. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Ryantific_theory@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Yeah, I thought it was really neat at first, but it became pretty concerning once they started playing whack-a-mole with the compounds. Probably one of the few situations I also agree with the DEA, though, that's partially contingent on legalizing marijuana instead so there's no reason to deal with all these loopholes for people that just wanna get high. Just let them do it safely. permalink fedilink source parent [–] PickTheStick@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 years ago Bingo. The only reason to smoke kush/spice/k2/whatever-other-dumb-name-the-marketing-comes-up-with is because you want brain damage. Smoke the real stuff, and you can avoid the permanent effects. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Edgelord_Of_Tomorrow@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (2 children) When you go to another country you obey the local laws permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago you can think other countries laws are stupid and harmful permalink fedilink source parent [–] Ryantific_theory@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children) I mean, sure, but raiding two military bases and facing 5 years to life for having some vape juice and a couple ounces of synthetic marijuana spread across twenty some people is absurd.

They should just do like the rest of the military and commit to completely legal alcoholism. How dare they partake in a cheaper and far less dangerous alternative. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Ryantific_theory@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago US military bases usually count as US territory subject to our laws, the difference between UCMJ charges for K2 possession/trafficking and South Korea's is enormous.
