If the pot was in the same location as the money, why wasn't the pot and scales taken by the student too? Was the pot planted in an effort to confiscate the cash?

Are you saying you don't believe that the drug dealer came to the meeting spot, found the buyer hadn't showed and decided he'd leave the dope (with scales) in the ditch on good faith that the buyer would eventually show up and leave the cash? What happened to make you so cynical?

LOL! Are you suggesting the drug dealer is of good faith, and transported 4 pounds of dope with scales, to the area, and just decided to leave the merchandise, hoping the drug buyer was also be of good faith, and would leave the money in it's place?

That's the funniest thing I've heard in the past 10 minutes...You're joking right?

What happened to make you so cynical?

Long story of hard experience dealing with assorted low life and liars of all stripes. I never go into personal background details, so I'll leave it there.

I’m tempted to say I think that’s a good kid for sharing the cash. Plus, I think the drug war is a miserable failure.

Well, it has become a harsh cold world when you can’t leave your drugs or your buy money in a ditch without some school kid coming along and botching the transaction.
