i still support you and will miss you Don

There are people that need to be locked up to keep others safe , this kid from what I can tell is just a punk and prob didn't get a decent lawyer or copped an attitude.. but regaurdless of what happened he broke the law .. and shows no remorse in doing so ...

I'm willing to turn the other cheek if u send cash

Never once did I suggest he does not deserve to pay for his actions. we are ALL responsible of rour actions whether we pay for them here, or another place. I am hard core crime control, and believe a wrong must always be made right. My issue lies in self righteous people judging someone who has already been judged. We have all been on the wrong side of the law a time or two in our lives, and most have gotten away with it. i don't subscribe to the "it's only a considered a crime if they catch you clique"

ok woman first off u dont know me and there for cannot judge me nor should you judge me according to our lord jesus christ, second this is my first offence, never been in jail before, and third the other things i am not telling have nothing to do with drugs or any other thing, and forth i aint bragging about anything i mearly started this thread to tell people i know that i will not be on for a while when i do get arrested, and fifth if i met you in person and your daughter you would never know i smoked pot because i would never take your daughter to an environment where it is going on nor would i ever smoke around her or pressure her into smoking, and lastly just because i smoke pot does not make me a bad person, i got to church every sat night and sunday morning i also work in the kids bible study program (never once came in high or even smelling or looking like someone who smokes pot) i have a job which i work very hard at and no i dont smoke at my job either nor have ever come in stoned and with my S.A.T. scores i could get into pretty much any college i would ever want to but right now i just dont have the money nor time to write a bunch of essays to try and get scholorships, so thankyou for your time and please do not judge somebody you do not know ok

Me either but i also don't push something until I get in trouble.. this is not this kids first time at the rodeo .. you simply don't get time for just what he claimed to do ..

Well I for one am glad you have been able to lead a pure life. I have not made such smart choices in my life to be able to claim that. I am not arguing, I have said my peace on it, because it is how I feel. I know other peoples opinions vary, and that is great for discussion. Enjoy the remainder of the thread

Let me see if I have this understood right.

You are eighteen years old. Your main pic is of you dressed in military gear, and your profile states you are a carpenter, an electrician and a plumber, so I am going to go out on a limb and suggest that you are in the military. Considering you have stated that you are going to STATE prison, and not a military prison, then I think it is safe to believe you are in the guard or reserve (If I am correct about being in the military in the first place).

When I joined the army back in 1993 my first mos was carpenter/masoner (53B) and you would cross train into electrician(57R?) and plumber (57K?) as you got higher in rank. It would not surprise me to find out that they have combined all three into one mos (military occupational specialty) now, as they have done with several others that you would cross train in at a certain rank.

With that said, you also state that you were charged with three crimes: The first being possession of drug paraphenalia along with drugs, the second one intent to sell/distribute. You have not stated what the third one is, and I am not going to ask as it is none of my business or concern.

Now, I have never done anything worse than cigarettes or alcohol, don't care too, never have. I am all for the legalization of pot, and certain other drugs; as you stated a person using pot is no different than a person using alcohol. And I want to applaud you for being responsible enough to not get behind a wheel or anything when you are high. Not to many people would do that. However my question is with this: What paraphenalia did you have to get busted for if you are only using pot? To my knowledge you treat pot just like a cigarette as far as rolling it and smoking it. No equipment involved (unless you are using a tube packer, and that is not drug paraphenalia). This suggests that it wasn't pot you got busted with.

Am I pretty much right so far? Or am I way off base? Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong, but I don't think I am with what you have stated so far. And if I am right, then this explains why you are getting such a "harsh" sentence at eighteen.

my ex was a felon and makes more money than God and has never served fries.dont stereotype.

your temper outburst will be your downfall and if your sats were that good you would be able to get money for college but with a felony record you have not left that door open for yourself .. I have smoked pot too and I have never never gotten in trouble with the law for it .. and what else do you have but time to write essays .. too busy getting high?? you have been judged and not by me but society has to have standards and you have broken them so don't whine and cry now .. you did the crime do the time .. what have you learned from all this because you are still going to get high , still defend your actions and have not shown any remorse for what you did ,, and my tax dollars get to feed and clothe you for the next six months while you make little if any contribution to society .. sorry that I am not just thrilled at that prospect.. why should I support your habbit ??

~suggestion~

Buy some soap on a rope! Naw,, dude,, sorry to hear that. Thats a bummer.

this guy is good..but not as good as handymanbill

a bong and a pipe are two i can think of.

you are completly right and i had an eight inch bubbler pipe, i dont like to smoke blunts

I won't judge, or make fun of you. Personally, I've never been to prison, but whatever. I do know people who have for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they thought they deserved it, some didn't Bottom line is personal responsibility.

You're aware of the law. If you take that chance and you get caught, unfortunately sometimes you gotta take responsibility and make the best out of it. You're a young man. You'll probably be fine. But seriously, in there, do what you can for an early release, and when you come out, just make damn sure you take a long hard look at your life, and make the best out of it.

I aint being preachy, but this is a serious subject. This is YOUR life brotha. This is the only one you got (as far as you know), so don't waste it on silly s**t. Close the book on this chapter, and move on.

what is it with you?, i am trying to be civil and nice but yet you speak to me as if im a worthless piece of crap or you have something against me, i did not have an attitude while writing my last post to you and still do not but i will get a little aggrivated when people make me out as a bad person just because i smoke pot, im not bad, and whats this about me not being a contribution to society?, i teach young kids about god, i have been a legal working, taxpaying citizen since the age of 12 started with the family business, and when i was 16 i was a volunteer firefighter, and lastly i dont smoke all the time i smoke mostly on weekends just happened to get caught on the way to a party because my brake light was out and they searched the vehicle(was not high or smoking while driving) so tell me please what is so bad about me

A pipe, even if used for pot is not considered drug paraphenalia because it is designed for tobacco (any bad lawyer would get a pipe tossed out of court). The bong however, and I could be wrong as I have said I personally have never used, is not used for pot, but for cocaine and other heavier drugs.

they could but only if there is no res in the bowl, if there is pot residue ur ****ed, i know because i live with the district attorneys secretaries
