Any pothead can walk up to any cop in America reeking of pot and admit to it's use and cannot be arrested for anything more substantial than public intoxication.
The difference between possessing and smoking is that if you are not caught with drugs on your person or in your vehicle ,then you have essentially "not" committed a drug violation regardless of admission or level of intoxication.
Try again.

2. Regarding soliciting sex from minors
>just like meeting a minor for a sexual encounter isn't illegal, the ACT of having sex with a minor is illegal.
That's just flat-out wrong. Meeting a minor for a sexual encounter is definitely illegal, even if the encounter never takes place and even if the minor isn't really a minor. Just ask Mike Sieve.
LA Revised Statute 14§81.3. Computer-aided solicitation of a minor
A. Computer-aided solicitation of a minor is committed when a person eighteen years of age or older knowingly contacts or communicates, through the use of electronic textual communication, with a person who has not yet attained the age of eighteen or a person reasonably believed to have not yet attained the age of eighteen, for the purpose of or with the intent to persuade, induce, entice, or coerce the person to engage or participate in sexual conduct or a crime of violence as defined in R.S. 14:2(B), or with the intent to engage or participate in sexual conduct in the presence of the person who has not yet attained the age of eighteen, or person reasonably believed to have not yet attained the age of eighteen.
It's also a Federal crime:
TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 117
§ 2422. Coercion and enticement
(a) Whoever knowingly persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any individual to travel in interstate or foreign commerce, or in any Territory or Possession of the United States, to engage in prostitution, or in any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.

Well that IS nice to know, but it still doesn't show the perp making a profit from his crime therefore I can't justify "stealing" any of his property
