Think again before bringing those edibles... #cruisetips

🚨 CAN CHOCOLATE TURN A DRUG CHARGE INTO TRAFFICKING?! 🍫🚢 Remember the orthopedic surgeon arrested before boarding the Norwegian Jewel in Miami? His attorney is raising a very interesting argument about how the alleged drugs were weighed. Here's what might surprise you: Under certain drug laws, the weight of an edible containing a controlled substance can include the entire mixture, not just the active drug. That means the chocolate, candy, or other ingredients could potentially affect the severity of a charge. But the rules depend on the substance and the law involved. ⚖️ HERE'S THE DEBATE: If a 100-gram chocolate bar contains just ONE gram of an illegal drug, should prosecutors be able to count the entire 100 grams? Or should only the actual drug count? 👇 I want to hear what you think! The defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
