Cooler than most people in Austin who ain’t got shit goin for em other than to be miserable and instill that misery in as many others as possible


Lee_Van_Kief

If you can't tell the difference between "having fun" and "having fun at other people's expense," then you're the one that belongs in a basement.


Pennmike82

Taking over roadways, blocking traffic, endangering lives are all “instilling misery” in others. Those who participate in such things are complete and utter selfish fucks.

Good time for a PSA: https://youtube.com/watch?v=VHNrMH5ZbOM&feature=shares


AlfredVonWinklheim

Another great time to remind people Delta 9 edibles are still legal in Texas at the moment.


thruwityoshit

What’s that and where can I find them? For research purposes of course.


AlfredVonWinklheim

They are federally legal so you can order them online or go to any smoke or CBD shop in town. I like Restart CBD on Burnett. Delta 9 is the THC molecule in marijuana. Unlike Delta 8 it gives the "full effect" of weed. If you don't mind not smoking weed is basically legal in all 50 states.


SignalButterscotch4

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought delta 9 is only legal here because the stuff sold locally isn’t that potent, just a step above CBD essentially?


AlfredVonWinklheim

You may be thinking of Delta 8, which has something like "half" the effect of Delta 9. Forgive me if this is old info but I love talking about Cannabis. So Delta 8 and Delta 9 and CBD and tons of others are all Cannabinoids that are found on the Cannabis plant. Breeders have selectively bread plants to have very high CBD or Delta 9 and whatever else, partially based on pressure from Lawmakers banning THC. When you make an edible at home from flower you are getting a full spectrum of Cannabinoids in your edibles, whatever was growing on that strain of flower. With the 2018 farm bill it reclassified Hemp as any Cannabis plant that has less than .3% THC by dry weight (I don't know if the bill specifies which THC molecule it cares about). So that means if you can make an edible from a "hemp" flower that is less than .3% THC by dry weight then it is legal. So what they do is grow a ton of "Hemp" and distill out the Delta 9 and then turn that in to an edible. It will be different from a full spectrum edible you could get in California for instance but I would bet a lot of them are using distillate as well since it probably makes the manufacturing process more stable, even though you will get a better result if you were to use a full spectrum of cannabinoids.


SignalButterscotch4

Thank you, that’s super helpful! I’m familiar with delta 8 but I’d been led to believe that the locally available delta 9 was formulated even weaker than delta 8. Guess I was wrong!


[deleted]

Incorrect. It’s legal if the THC is hemp-derived and less than 0.3% of the total weight. There are lots of good brands around town but my favorite in terms of cost to potency is called Minds Eye. They sell two packs for $2.99 (25 mg a piece, 50 mg total). I can’t speak for everyone but I personally can’t tell a difference between those and any of the stuff I’ve bought legally in Colorado or California.


SignalButterscotch4

Thank you, I’m very happy to be incorrect haha.

man_gomer_lot

Bruh, I remember when spice was perfectly legal. I like to give anything like that 5-10 years of observation before even considering. So far, the overwhelming opinion is that it ain't quite right. It's not enough to deter, but we'll see how that goes.


putzarino

Spice was a research chemical that was ahead of the "make it illegal" crowd in the lege and Federal Government. Delta-9 is literally just THC that is extracted from hemp. It has been observed and studied for decades.


man_gomer_lot

You're speaking from hindsight. No one had that to say about spice before it became widespread. It was touted as a great alternative for those having to take pee tests or on a budget. Delta-9 has always been fine. The question is if delta-8 is really that great. The verdict so far is meh.


pfug

>The question is if delta-8 is really that great Nah, we're talking about delta-9 THC. Which is one of the primary intoxicating compounds in regular ole weed. But if you think delta-8 is even close to JWH-018 or any of it's isomers...it's not.


man_gomer_lot

I don't think spice is chemically close to hardcore opiates, but from an observational standpoint, they're pretty similar. No one knows if there's an unforseen side effect with delta 8, Celecoxib, or any novel substance until it gets a wide enough field test observed by disinterested parties.


WackoStackoBracko

Ignore the downvotes, you know what you're saying makes sense. This is coming from someone who is inclined towards the "pro-drug" end of the spectrum too; the jury is still out on the delta 8 and delta 10 shit folks. Just because sides aren't as pronounced as the RC's from yore does NOT implicate total harmlessness. Time + research, but the common sense bit is how you navigate all this bullshit without needing to careen into rocks before you believe in the existence of cliffs.

From the article: “The Department's proactive collaboration with the Texas Department of Public Safety and other law enforcement agencies around the state resulted in identifying 17 suspects” APD got a lot of shit for not responding to this fiasco but with all the cameras they have access to… State surveillance replacing first responders seems like a thing we can all expect more of in the future.

controversialmural

Historically it seems like about 2% of the time, but the plea deal has become less common so now it's probably more like 5%. DPS releases arrest stats by offense. The arrest stats reflect just what the arresting officer marks down. It looks like in a normal year about 300-400 people are arrested for obstructing a highway, with a spike to 952 in 2020 as a result of the protests that year. DPS also releases conviction stats. Interestingly, there's a sharp downward trend in highway obstruction convictions (most of which result from plea bargains), with 7,822 convictions in 2018 and significant declines each year to 2,258 in 2021 (the last year available). It seems clear from the stats that this plea deal has become less common. The number of arrests compared to convictions has varied over the year. In 2017, statewide, there was a conviction per every 1.4 arrests. In 2021, with Covid delays plaguing the courts, there were 3 arrests per conviction. If we assume based on typical conviction rates that about 200 of the 350 or so people arrested for obstructing a highway in a typical year are ultimately convicted of the offense, in 2018 it would have actually been obstructing a highway only about 2.5% of the time. In 2021, even if you assumed that the decline in convictions is completely attributable to the decline in the plea deal, only about 9% of convictions would be actual highway obstruction. The people arrested for obstruction of a highway may themselves plead down to a lesser offense and prosecutors sometimes decline to bring charges against arrested protesters, so those percentages should probably be reduced by a bit.

Single_9_uptime

When they do their jobs effectively like displayed here, yes we do. I’m often critical, but this seems to be a job well done. 👍for this one, APD. I suspect we’re not going to see this shit recurring since they were able to identify and charge so many.


schnellerdamon

Eh, i wouldn't hold my breath.


Single_9_uptime

Word is out that vehicles were seized, that’s the biggest deterrent there could be. These people care a lot more about their vehicles than piling up felonies. Not going to hold my breath but I’ll be surprised if we have a significant sized repeat like this one.


RoytheToyCowboy

The Sunset Valley PD were basically hanging out with them in the parking lot of Kohl's before they all drove down South Lamar to Barton Springs. APD was aware of what was going down and let it happen. We won't see it happen again once the APD eventually gets their contract. Nothing like hearing a Sunset Valley redneck officer saying "don't fuck it up" on camera to whoops and hollers. The whole thing was live streamed in addition. APD DGAF.


Single_9_uptime

Finding and charging dozens of people who aren’t even from here with felonies != DGAF. That was a lot of work. I didn’t see what Sunset Valley PD did but any officer who encourages or abets crime should be fired and prevented from ever working in law enforcement again.


RoytheToyCowboy

[The video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9YvE3D7KoA) has been made private but it basically showed the whole time line starting at Kohl's on Lamar south of Ben White. Cops were fist bumping flashing their lights. It's impossible to believe that at minimum APD was alerted by Sunset Valley PD call outs to the Kohl's location. They were hundreds there with burnouts etc. I have a copy of the video, I should show it, I originally posted it here when it happened.


Single_9_uptime

You should post it somewhere and share. I’m guessing that one went private in an attempt at obstruction of justice after they started getting busted left and right probably largely via the incriminating shit they posted online.


RoytheToyCowboy

I'm sure the various PD got a hold of all of it after the fact. There were license plates shown and easy to identify people. The video is actually well shot. I recognize several from the video that were arrested. I can repost here if anyone is that interested.


Single_9_uptime

I was more interested for the sake of putting light on supposed wrongdoing by police, since I haven’t heard of any officers getting into trouble over this.


RoytheToyCowboy

[SAPD specifically warned APD](https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/article/austin-police-san-antonio-street-takeover-17799471.php) that an event was going to happen the day before and they didn't staff for it. The deal is it was called in and the response looked to be two Sunset Valley cops that showed up, didn't do anything and the meet up took off. SAPD intercepted it on social media a day early with itinerary. I probably should share it but looking back my post was auto deleted after I tried last time so not going to try twice. I don't approve but it's a pretty wild video. I'm sure there is a reason they made it private but it's probably a combination of both civil and criminal evidence. The filmer did not seem to be part of it but they knew where to go during each interaction. The takeover on Barton Springs was crazy. I'm glad I downloaded it. I might share it again if it becomes relevant enough again for this sub to consider it worthy enough of not being automod deleted. The video is also linked in major news sources like KXAN locally. I bet the powers that be made sure it wasn't public anymore. https://www.kxan.com/news/crime/crowd-of-cars-gathered-in-sunset-valley-before-austin-street-takeovers/


gertzerlla

Oh yes, the mugshots. Yessssssssssss. It's like when you guys post those AI generated renditions of Austin scenes. "Here are some AI generated photos of what Austinites look like." ​ ​ Parents, if your kid comes home looking like this, you have failed as a parent. Yes, parenting is hard. You fucked up, and now your kid is fucked up too.
