I don't care what was in that bong water. This is gross for a paraphernalia charge, no matter how you look at it.
So...
Drug paraphernalia, and drug residue in the paraphernalia is legal...
But used bong water isn't drug residue, it's a controlled substance?
Also, it was meth residue in the paraphernalia, and she had a bag of meth...
It's not like she decided to move her bong, didn't dump it first, and is getting shafted.
Just a click bait headline so people go to the article.
She didn't have a bag of meth. The bong water tested positive for meth. She says she didn't have any drugs on her. They are charging her with the weight of the bong, the bong water, and the glass jar that also contained residue. He's another article https://northdakotamonitor.com/2024/06/10/fargo-woman-facing-30-years-in-prison-for-bong-water/
"The residue on the paraphernalia tested positive for methamphetamine, as did the water in the bong and the substance in the glass jar. 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.”
Beske says the “packaging” is the glass jar, and that the reason deputies included the jar in the weight is that there wasn’t a measurable quantity of substance in it. She maintains she had no drugs on her, only paraphernalia containing residue. That’s precisely the sort of offense that lawmakers decriminalized in the 2023 bill."
Ahh, that's how they catch tons of cocain sometimes, they weight the whole submarine it's attached to.
