Yes please when dosage in measured in micrograms. What about psilocybin (magic mushrooms)? No mention. The use of "not exceeding" also seems incorrect. Should it not be exceeding a specific amount or wieght is subject to punishment? As for 100 milligrams of LSD read this... Oklahoma City Zoo Experiment[edit] "Tusko" was the name of a male Indian elephant at the Oklahoma City Zoo. On August 3, 1962,[6] researchers from the University of Oklahoma injected him with 297 mg of LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide), which is nearly three thousand times the human recreational dose (for an animal weighing roughly one hundred times as much as a human).[a] Within five minutes he collapsed to the ground and one hour and forty minutes later he died. It is believed that the LSD was the cause of his death, although some speculate that the drugs the researchers used in an attempt to revive him may have contributed to his death." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tusko#:~:text=Oklahoma City Zoo Experiment,-"Tusko" was the&text=Within five minutes he collapsed,have contributed to his death.

Bday Prang Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) Am i reading this right ? for example getting caught with 5 yabah pills indicates one is an addict and is only intending to consume , so free to go but possession of 6 pills indicates possession with intent to supply therefore liable for prosecution and presumably jail time Which category renders the possessor liable for the compulsory rehabilitation boot camps in ex army bases that has been on the news recently? What about dealers who are also addicts? Edited February 12 by Bday Prang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be 15 pills before you were classified as a "Dealer" Now it's 5. How does that keep addicts out of overcrowded jails? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
