What would you do if this happened?

If you got busted for butanediol, what would you do? Hire a good attorney who knows about this kind of stuff or just used a court appointed one? If the police thought it was GHB and lab tests showed that it wasnt would the case be dismissed without a court appearance? I did a search on the subject and came up with many conflicting viewpoints...

Also, if you were say waiting for your court date, is it possible that the DEA or some other government organization would storm your home to find more evidence, like come with a search warrant? Are you usually under intense investigation for something like this?

I remember reading that there's a member on this board that's a lawyer. hopefully he'll see this or someone that knows.

court dates suck. bring a walkman for the long waits.

Most of those situations really depend on your priors and how much you got popped with.

I would definitly get anything illegal out of your residence. I would also hire the best damn attourney you can afford. I would never trust a public defender in a case like that. Where I'm from your supposed to get 30 years for more than four ounces of g, off the top, no questions asked. Good luck bro and keep us posted, this is something i want to hear about.

Wow 30 years, I didnt know the punishment for g was that harsh anywhere

Where are you from?

i am from georgia, USA. there is nothing illegal at my residence currently, but should i erase the contents of my hard drive or would the police/DEA not be interested in going into my computer files in a case like this? also, what i am talking about is really getting busted for Butanediol, not GHB (they just think it is GHB...until they lab test it that is). from what i understand it is legal to possess, illegal to consume. i am totally confused on the way Butanediol legalities would work. since it is legal to possess when it is not bottled for human consumption, couldn't they only accuse you of illegal possessing the amount that you actually consumed? because what you did not consume is not bottled for human consumption, they wouldnt be able to automatically assume you would illegally consume the rest right? i am definitely going to consult with a number of attorneys; this seems to be a very complicated issue.

I've read alot on the issue, and it boils down to the fact of them determining what your intent was. If they can prove that your primary intent was to drink it, then it might as well be ghb. It also depends on the laws in your area. You have very little chance of beating it if it was not in the original container. Also make sure to get a local lawyer, better chance of making a deal.
