Answer 1

No you will not go to jail. The sites are there to inform people, not entrap them.

Answer 2

No, you won't go to jail just because you looked up cocaine and how much a dime is on the internet. You could have been doing it for a school project for all anyone knows.
By the way, you should really not be using cocaine. It's a rough drug.

The only way you'll be arrested in relation to cocaine is if you are caught with cocaine in your possession (like if you get pulled over and they search your car/person) or if you are caught buying/selling.

EDIT: The price of cocaine depends on where you are getting it from and if it's cut or not (they "cut" it with things like baking soda so you are not getting 100% cocaine when you purchase in the U.S.- this allows drug dealers to make more money off a certain amount of cocaine). However, if you are in a foreign country/island like the Caribbean or Columbia for example- that is pure cocaine and it takes little to get you high so that will run a higher price.
In the U.S. you can get cocaine for dirt cheap, but the thing about the drug is that it leaves you wanting more so you tend to buy more- that is why it's called the "rich man's drug".
Also, they measure cocaine in grams and most people do not refer to the amount as a "dime"- that is more common with marijuana.

Answer 3

Drug enforcement laws focus only on the sale and possession of controlled substances. There is no law against talking about drugs. If you read High Times, people even write in about how much weed is selling for in their neighborhood. It's free speech. If you said "hey, I have a bag of weed on me" and a cop hears you or reads it online, that coudl be just cause for a search warrant, but you're not getting arrested unless you have it on you.

And even if you did have drugs on you, it usually takes multiple offenses to ever do prison time for possession. Even a small sale prolly wouldn't land you in jail if it were your first offense.

Cops are not monitoring the web for drug talk. They barely have time to do their real job, which is preventing major crimes and violence. You couldn't hire enough cops to monitor the web for innane junk like that!

And a dime is, by definition, $10. But coke is usually sold by the gram, not in nicks and dimes.

Silly.

Answer 4

Not at all. As of right now the government can't arrest you on what you think ( thank God ). That information is on the net for a reason, to educate people of the dangers of drugs, and the "lingo" used in transactions just in case you overhear one being made. In Texas you can be arrested for having it, making it, growing it, transporting it, holding it for a third part, or selling it.

Answer 5

No there's no proof that you've done anything wrong.

Coke doesn't come in "dimes" where I'm from, weed does. Coke comes in grams (~$80) and fractions/increments there of (halves, ounces, "eight balls" 1/8th ounce = 3.5 grams, a "teener" 1/16th ounce = 1.75 grams...)

A dime is usually a $10 bag of pot, never heard of $10 of coke because that's barely a line in some cases.

Answer 6

No, there is no law that says you can't have information on something, there is just a law that says you can't use the information

they probably do monitor the sites and watch for stuff like that, but as long as you don't acually try to buy some drugs, then you haven't committed any crime.

Answer 7

Is your middle name "Gullible"? Unless you are dealing in child porn online or communicating actual drug deals or other criminal behavior, you cannot be arrested for online activity such as research.

Suggestion: Find some smarter friends and try to educate yourself more, otherwise you will continue to ask embarrassing questions. I am not trying to be mean, just honest.

Good Luck!

Answer 8

Not a chance. If that were the case, 3/4 of internet users would be in jail.

Answer 9

No. One thing you can do with impunity in the U.S. is search the internet. Unless you find a website that sells it and then you order it and the postman delivers the package to you and you open the package.

Answer 10

it takes more than that. you was just looking for info. no biggie your friend is trying to scare you and even if you were useing they would wait fro you to mess up and just happen to catch you users are the little fish in a big ole pond

Answer 11

no you won't go to jail.Lots of people look up drug information online for research,even for school papers.The only thing the police will come after you for is looking up child porn,which rightfully so you should go to jail for if you do so but drug information NO...your friend is trying to frighten you look up all you want about drugs.
