On the east coast i can say this, Most people get busted for small amounts so that they can plea into ratting people out, its the cops way of getting to the big man, but in most cases people dont rat out others so it really doesnt work. In towns where they know there is trafficing they will arrest you for peddy amounts just to get some information, if u intend on ratting any one out for personal reasons tell them that before they get to the point where ur in handcuffs.
I still dont realize how people get caught.... i mean cmon we can beat the system,
