Let's remember...herb is illegal because in 1937 it was believed- it made you KILL PEOPLE. Before truths were sought, tobacco and Oil lobbyists imposed their will via cash to make sure it would never be legal again. 3. Tobacco - Pot - Alcohol - Cocaine - Sex - Gambling - etc. are all VICES which can ALL lead to trouble when abused. What's funny to some, is the obvious hipocracy. ________________________________________________________________ m3outtanowhere- I wish you well. Quitting is tough, especially cold turkey...but it can be done. When this is all behind you, you'll feel a lot clearer. You'll need to stay clean to get a real job. But remember...usually once you're a smoker, you'll always be a smoker. The erge will always be there. It sucks if you don't like to drink, it sucks if you hate ciggs, it sucks if you hate everything but a smooth drag..... You'll be back, you may even smoke again, you'll just be a little more mature about it next time. Try not to sell your ride, she's a beaut.

Let me know. Good luck bud, its never to late to turn it around, even if your ballsdeep in a ****storm. Take it easy, relax, and let the court system do its thing, i think you'll be fine... you see what your new priorities have to be and your showing tons of remorse already and thats a very good start!! __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti | | | 10-26-2006, 04:30 PM | #19 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: PA Posts: 822 | That sucks man. This is a wake up call for you. Look at it as a learning experience. Now you have a chance to make things right moving forward. I know I smoke on a daily as well, but over the past two weeks I decided to stop my daily use and only smoke on the weekends until I can cut that down as well. You'll be a stronger person after dealing with this ****. You should try to keep your car though. I can't believe you had that much on you along with a scale. What were you thinking? Were you out making deliveries or something? You were just asking for trouble. Good luck man!! | | | 10-26-2006, 06:20 PM | #20 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Vancouver, B.C. Canada Posts: 465 | Man, that’s rough....A couple of hours in lockup will really straighten you up though. 2 ounces would only get you a slap on the wrist here in Vancouver....Unless you've got a full-on grow-op running, pot most likely wont get you any jail time here; especially if its your first offence. Anyways, good luck with your case. __________________ | | | 10-26-2006, 08:12 PM | #21 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: Indianapolis, IN Posts: 228 | Now that you are out on bail you're out of the "fast track", so you have time to find an attorney and you have time for him/her to evaluate your predicament. If you hadn't been bailed out you probably would've been tried/convicted already. If you don't make enough money (and attest to it/prove it to a judge), he or she will appoint a public defender to you. I don't know how old you are or what your situation is, but it's not really easy to be proven "unable to pay for an attorney" unless you basically have no assets/job/income. Once you find an attorney then they'll take a look at your charges, the evidence, and your past record. Based on these circumstances the lawyer may be able to negotiate with the prosecutor that, "Because it's first offense and this mitigating cirucumstance and that mitigating circumstance can my client have a misdomenor charge with so many years of probation..." etc etc. My guess is that a private attorney will cost at least $5,000...I'm not sure about that though. | | | 10-26-2006, 10:09 PM | #22 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 | Well i for one, dont feel any sympathy for you. 2 ounces, a scale, baggies and you were faded while driving. Common, you shoulda been smarter about that. You know your not in any good conditions to drive, well maybe you were, but to the cop, your not. Not only are you faded but driving then carrying that stuff with you. I hate people that drunk drive, and people that are stoned while driving cuz they drive stupid and can kill people in a car accident. How long did you spend in jail? Did you get man handled? LOL j/k. But im glad your doing everything in your power to solve your problem. Things happen for a reason and maybe this is telling you that you need to work for a better future. Dont get me wrong, i dont hate you. I just think that DUI isnt a good thing and thats why i dont feel bad that this happen to you. You coulda just kicked it, or maybe you coulda NOT burn out or you coulda stashed all the equipment. Good Luck and hopefully everything works out. | | | 10-26-2006, 10:38 PM | #23 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Westfield, IN Posts: 1,335 | hey M3 i've been on this stuff since my freshman year of high school.. yea i know this isn't a good thing to do so i've decided to go cold turkey i'm now a junior in high school i never did it before, during, and after school hours cause of my grades. just on week ends. reading ur story has made me want to quit cause i don't want to end up getting caught. i've thrown all my things away bongs, papers, hookas ect. i'm very glad i quit cause one more day of doing this i would have been caught. i wish u the best of luck kicking ur habit in the balls!! __________________ Greg M42 Club member 186 WTB: HELLROT RED CLUB SPORT 95 ti sold but staying in the family. | | | 10-27-2006, 12:30 AM | #24 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Southern California Posts: 456 | First: 1996318ti - I DID NOT GET A DUI!

Also take into consideration that there are very few states that allow medical marijuana.. Even then it is still a federal crime... If it is your first offense you should be able to get off with a drug rehab program, some comm. service, and 1 or 2 years probation. | | | 10-27-2006, 02:16 AM | #27 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Northern Michigan Posts: 867 | Quote: Originally Posted by m3outtanowhere second: kickass95318ti - I am glad that my misfortune has showed you that IN AMERICA weed is not worth smoking.

If you had a license for it, you would have been let go? You are right- we all break the law sometimes, but again- you have to be cocky to tote that much. Why did you have so much in your car? Is carrying 2 ounces with a scale a normal everyday thing to you? Maybe a joint or an eighth and you MIGHT get off, but come on! As far as I know those med cards are bullshyt. The police rarely look the other way on felony law. Plenty of americans- including cops, smoke daily and have no troubles at all. How about leaving it at home? __________________ [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] | | | 10-27-2006, 04:34 AM | #28 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Richmond Hill, GA Posts: 1,231 | whatever happens to you is well deserved. I'm sure that this is not exactly what you want to hear but its the truth. now what you have to give up your priced posessions to preserve your freedom. It's time to mature and and mature now because this is where things escalate. you can ask my dad. he was in the same boat you are now but he didn't learn his lesson. will you? | | | 10-27-2006, 05:25 AM | #29 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Port St. Johns, Florida Posts: 2,242 | The fates have strange ways sometimes..Wish you luck. I don't believe in the amount of money we spending in the losing drug war(funds that could go to other needed fronts/issues) , if people in society need a crutch to support themselves, I don't see it as a criminal act(I am not a drug user, but I don't condemn those who are non-violent users) The Jails are for the pedofiles,rapiest, murders, and other who leech from society and seek to do it harm. This human element is what deserves to be behind bars. I do see the humor of 1890s-1910s when the drugs of today were still common place, Opium, Cocaine, Marijuana etc all could be easily found in most drugstores. | | | 10-27-2006, 05:34 AM | #30 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 | Quote: Originally Posted by mohaughn He didn't say you got charged with DUI, he said you were DUI.
