What is the safety valve as it pertains to drug possesion??
451629
The "safety valve" is an aspect of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.  It provides that in certain cases, the sentencing judge should sentence according to the recommended Guidelines range without regard for any minimum sentence imposed by statute.  For more on the types of offenders that safety valve eligble, see Section 5C1.2 of the Guidelines

Try looking at a substances MSDS.  That is Material Data Safety Sheet.  If it is a pure substance that will be helpful. Just put the name of the substance and MSDS into yahoo and you'll find a sheet

You must have already been arrested otherwise you wouldn't have taken a breathalizer to blow an 034 so that isn't the issue here. If the officer can articulate why he thought that you were driving under the influence, you can still be CONVICTED of driving under the influence of intoxicants AND/OR drugs. Get a good attorney. In cases like these, it is money well spent.

Do not listen to the first answer here.  Where that comes from, I cannot imagine.\n\nIf you are not on probation or parole, and have not otherwise waived your 4th amendment rights, then you are not subject to search and seizure, drug registrant or not.\n\nHaving to register as a drug offender means just what it sounds like...you have to register as a drug offender.  You are required to register with the agency having jurisdiction over your place of residence.  As long as you don't move, you never have to register again.\n\nAnd you might want to check your information - your duty to register should terminate five years after you were released from parole.\n\nHere's a link so you can read 11590 - 11595 HS for yourself:\n\nhttp://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html

Actually, these drugs aren't all "legal."  The definition of possession of a controlled substance is in some form or another the "unauthorized possession of a controlled substance," which generally means the person doesn't have a "prescription" for the substance.  So, since the FDA, VA, and USPS are all organizations which operate based on the authorization to possess controlled substances, it's alright for THEM to ship these substances through the mail.  It's not fair, believe me, I hate the fact that they can do it as much as you do, but they've got documentation and authorization on their side.  =(\n\nYou may, however, be fortunate enough to hook up with someone who is a recipient of the VA's services who might be willing to work something out with you.  I don't advise that,though, because usually if you get caught, your case will definitely go federal, and that conviction means you'll never be prescribed another narcotic as long as you live...

The laws are same as most other countries. If someone is caught with upto 2 gms of narcotic substance then he(or she) may face smaller sentence (usually 1 year). If someone is caught is more than 2 gms or several packets then he is considered as a dealer or seller and can be punished with harsher jail sentence (more than 3 years). Also, if the police finds evidence of someone funding purchase of narcotics then such people are also treated as sellers of narcotic.\n\nHowever, there are some forms of intoxication (that are as good as narcotics) like - Ganja (I am not sure what it is called in English) - that are in use for many centuries and no one is caught for smoking it.

It's called Safe Place...your probation officer or any state official could tell you more. It's only for a certain type of offenses and to my knowledge it's a program to scare them and let them see what's going to happen in prison if they don't change their ways.

cs/drug/dev & cosmetic act better known as\nTHE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, DRUG, DEVICE AND COSMETIC ACT\nor as\n35 P.S. § 780\n\nIt makes certain drugs illegal in pennsylvania.\nFor example 35 P.S. § 780-113 (2005) of the said act makes it illegal "The manufacture, sale or delivery, holding, offering for sale, or    possession of any controlled substance, other drug, device or cosmetic  that is adulterated or misbranded."\n\nSO basically if you get caught with Pot in pennsylvania you will get a cs/drug/dev & cosmetic act conviction.

Very safe.  It's not like they take a Louisville Slugger to your dome.  They either give you laughing gas (nitrous oxide) or start an intravenous drip of some sort of benzodiazepine or other sedative.  It's the best high you will ever have!  Not to mention the feeling of being cloaked in a pharmaceutical Velvet for at least three days after the operation.  Good luck with your operation! Ciao!  :-)\n-C

more accurate then a breathalyzer and definitely a good tool to get drunk drivers off the road. And if a person has nothing to hide, why refuse to submit to one? If you're drunk you'll get caught one way or another

Controled substances that are legal are medicines, usually gnarcotics, such as morphine, codiene, etc.  A physician is the only one who can legally prescribe them.   An illegal controled substance is any substance, such as marijuana, heroin, crystal meth, cocaine, crack, pcp, lsd, mushrooms (psychedelic not salad) that is illegal. This is not a complete list - Your local police or sheriff can give you a list.   Trafficing in any of these ( buying, selling or using ) can get you arrested.  If you involve children or are around children when buying, selling, or using you can also be charged with child endangerment.   You need to speak with an attorney about your own case to plan out a defense.   Depending on the offense, sometimes participating in an in-patient drug program is advisable.  Good luck

First off, thanks for staying drug-free and passing the test!\n\nNow, please ignore the foolish advice to drink 3 quarts of water -- it's possible to get water poisoning by drinking too much water and it can be FATAL!\n\nYour problem is not unusual at all, actually.  Many people have problems doing this in the presence of another person, especially a stranger.  However, for legal reasons (that actually protect YOU if you're drug-free!) a monitor is required to view the flow of urine from the urethra into the cup and to certify such under penalty of perjury.  In some non-justice related testing, such as pre-employment screening, alternative methods are used to verify that the sample is legitimate such as taking the temperature of the sample immediately after collection.  Unfortunately, this won't work in your case.\n\nYou might ask if a blood test could be used in lieu of the urine test.  Not all jurisdictions allow this and those that do may require you to pay the increased cost for blood testing but it's worth asking the question.\n\nFailing that, you're going to have to work through this on your own.  Try to psyche yourself up prior to the test.  Remind yourself that you ARE drug-free and this test is going to PROVE it to the world.  Picture yourself having successfully completed your probation or parole and NEVER having to do this again.  Anything that will ease the mental block for you.\n\nOnce you get a couple of clean tests, the folks there will come to accept the fact that you have problems doing this and may ease off the pressure a bit.  Actually, they deal with this on a daily basis but there's no way to separate the scammers from the folks with difficulty in providing a witnessed sample until they become accustomed to dealing with you.  In the best case scenario, they might use the same witness each time to help make it a bit easier on your though local policy may prohibit this.\n\nIt does help to have a bit extra to drink prior to reporting to the testing facility.  An extra cup of coffee or can of soda or two will usually suffice.  Don't overdo it though as excessive intake can be dangerous as I mentioned earlier.  It's also possible that the test could come back as "diluted" which would require you to retake the test.  This is a common ploy for drug users to try to cheat the test but it never works and if you're truly drug-free you don't want them to think that you're trying to get one over on them.
