Damned good thing I wasn't in MA when this was happening. Say what you will about podunk towns in GA, they were honest with me. I was busted for possession of crack in 2002 and it wasn't at all. Yes I had intended to buy some, but I got lucky and it wasn't anything but counterfeit. I was immediately seized by the police, but the lab test cleared me (eighteen months later).
In MA, I would have gotten a felony. The perp who did this needs HARD TIME BEHIND BARS.
