Not all drug information online is accurate.
Before trusting what you read online, ask:
• Who created it?
• Is it up to date?
• Is it backed by research?
• What’s the purpose?
• Is it trying to sell something?

Hobart Man Sentenced to 168 Months in Prison For Controlled Substance and Firearm Offenses

“Justin Ring’s business plan was simple—he sold high-test poisons to users who needed a fix and had the means to buy it,” said U.S. Attorney Mildred.  “As he well knew, there is money to be made on other people’s addictions.  But he should have remembered that, in northern Indiana, anyone who deals in the narcotics that feed those addictions will face a swift and devastating justice.  He will now have plenty of time to commit the lesson to memory while residing in the Bureau of Prisons.  My thanks go out to the DEA, ATF, La Porte County Drug Task Force, Michigan City Police Department, and La Porte County Prosecuting Attorney Sean Fagan’s team at the La Porte County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office for the work they contributed to achieving this conviction and sentence.”

This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration @DEACHICAGODiv and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives @ATF_Chicago with assistance from the DEA North Central Laboratory, La Porte County Drug Task Force, Michigan City Police Department, and the La Porte County Prosecutor’s Office. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Lydia T. Lucius.
