He talked about it in the house. He got off light because he ratted out his dealer or someone else ( can't remember)
Here is a 2008 article about the 2004 arrest.
http://www.starmagazine.com/big_brother_adam_pot_bust_/news/13937
First, Big Brother 9 contestant Adam Jasinski caused an uproar by callously referring to autistic children as "retards." Now there's a second reason he may be the biggest jerk on the CBS series: Star has learned exclusively that he was arrested and convicted after being charged with possession of more than 20 pounds of marijuana!
A resident of Delray Beach, Fla., Adam, 29, lived in Manhattan while attending Parson's School of Design. According to New York County court records obtained by Star, Adam was arrested at his E. 33rd Street apartment on Feb. 10, 2004, after taking possession of an Airborne Express package containing more than 10 pounds of pot! The next day, Adam led police to a second apartment where an accomplice was found with another load of marijuana. Court papers add that MDA pills — a form of Ecstasy — and cocaine residue were also found during the bust |

Just to clarify... she was shown in a Big Brother clip. She wasn't there at his arrest. I'm posting this because I got kind of confused, so I thought others might too. |

Why do we, or more likely, just I, have to get over it? I can acknowledge what he did was wrong and stupid but still have sympathy and best wishes for someone I liked from the show. |

The drug dealer is also an addict. I can't help but feel sorry for addicts and the stupid things they do. _________________ Super Duper Mod

| I have empathy for all the lost souls out there. (Wait, that sounded a touch Pollyanna-ish, no? I take it back.) Adam certainly did come across on the feeds as a guy who liked to "Blow at high dough". I have a feeling he'll be paying a high price for his series of bad decisions. _________________ In combat or competition, where the stress levels are highest, you do not rise to the occasion… you sink to the level of your training.

I can only think that if Adam was using this drug for his own back pain or whereever, he might of just been rationalizing that its just helping others with their pain instead of distributing something thats obvious for abuse, ie cocaine, heroin, etc??? Alot of chronic pain patients want more than whats prescribed. I read that many people are getting stuff mailed to them from outside the country--eek-can't imagine the safety issues with that.
But regardless, its a fed min sent crime everywhere and someone with street smarts like Adam should have known that, the risk is just too high. I read that even getting caught with marijuana can you get you a min of 5 years.
Massachusetts is apparently a hot bed for this Oxy drug. The payoff is probably higher up north. The law is getting a lot of doctors in trouble if their patients get addicted so many of them will be reluctant to issue painkillers. People in chronic pain from accidents and diseases might be out of luck soon because many doctors are just not going to take the chance at getting 20 years.
Sadly, homegrown Meth is still the hotbed for my area.
There is a primary drug of choice everywhere I guess.
I still feel bad for both Adam and his family. Its fine if other's don't-it was stupid and is crime. Everyone has a right to their opinion. |

| Big Brother's Champ remains in the the BIG House Big Brother champ Adam Jasinski is used to confined spaces with round-the-clock surveillance, so this shouldn't be a problem for him. A federal judge in Boston has denied a motion to release the reality meathead, who's been locked up since his arrest two weeks ago on drug-peddling charges. "He is detained," court clerk Maria Simeone tells E! News, adding that U.S. District Judge Leo T. Sorokin "determined that the government had met its burden of proof based on the evidence and that the defendant posed a risk of flight." The 31-year-old Florida native, who stirred up controversy by referring to autistic kids as " retards" during his run to the $500,000 grand prize in the ninth season of Big Brother last year, was busted in a sting operation on Oct. 17. He is accused of trying to sell two bags of the prescription painkiller oxycodone (aka hillbilly heroin) to an undercover G-man. No word yet on the next court date. If convicted, Jasinski faces up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine. _________________ I'll have what she's having.

I agree with this post. No matter what a person believes about unfair drug laws... it is the law. Adam is a lawbreaker and soon to be a criminal. |

Fascinating. Just Adam being Adam. Sounds like the guy already owed Adam for a couple thousand bucks. The guy that Adam was selling to sounded like a radio personality of some sort.
Anybody hear any gossip that it was Matt that ratted out Adam? _________________ Super Duper Mod
