It crossed my mind that the feds might think I am making moonshine. Did not realize I also had to worry they would think its drugs... now I'm white so I'm less likely to be beat up or shot if I ever ended up in such situation.

I am wondering if this seizure of "drugs" led to innocent people being beat up, harassed and thrown in jail. I would not put it past them.
