Now I'm screwed

those of you who know me might remember that I was raided a few months ago......well yesterday the doc called and said im approved for a card(legal to gro) Today I recieve a letter from the DA's office ...they have charged me w/manufacture and possession of a controled substance.here's the problem.....you cant get a license thru the state if you have a case pending.I also cant beat the case w/out the license. so the timing on the charges is absoultly terrible, and now I fear I may end up going to jail on the charges.

Woah!! Doesn't the fact that you're qualified for a license mean anything? I wish I could offer some advice but I've got nothing. Good luck man.

The first court date is arraignment, just a guilty or not guilty plea (gonna plea not guilty)and im out....What im hoping is that i'll have all of my paperwork together before I go to an actual hearing.will the paperwork that I currently have get me off the hook???? I dont know.

Dive:stoned:

Where is this case pending?

Oregon

Dive:stoned:

oh man.... I read and said congratulations .... now I guess I have to say....bummer!! sorry!!

:) hey creesab I saw your post in other thread,you already found my e-mail so look me up,I'll answer your Q's as best I can.

Dive:stoned:

That fucking sucks man. I just got legal too, but i'm in cali. Good vibes being sent your way.

in California, at least, it would do you no good to get the Doctor's Recommendation 'after the fact', anyway ... the law states clearly, that you MUST be in current possession of your proper documents ... which, of course, is worthless, in the Feds' eyes :wtf: ... :smokin:

Good luck....wish I had some advice to offer

i dont know you as a person, but damn man im sorry dog

good luck, thats REALLY unfortunate.

I recieved my papers from the doc today and will send them to the state tomorrow. as soon as I have the certified mail reciept (saying its sent) Im legal to grow..... should I fire my room back up?? or wait till after court is done??

Dive:stoned:

yes.

Dive:stoned:

I would definitely wait till the court case is over to not complicate things.
Definitely get a lawyer.
Oregon is a pretty liberal state if you get the right people on the jury this could go your way very easily.I doubt the judge will allow your med license in after the fact but if you have a good attorney he'll find a way to sneak something in.
All it takes is 1 person to not convict and your off.Make sure you discuss this with your attorney.

i dont know how your jail system works?

but i post this anyway just in case

NOTE its a burning hot thing to do
*SO IT IS NOT ADVISED TO DO ITS ONLY MENT FOR READING PURPOSES*

i havent done this myself but i know a cupple that did and got away with it to

here goes in Denmark where i live if your sent to jail and cant for personal reasons or just dont wanna do the time, there is a way
(who would do time if they could pass)

you find some one that ows you loads of mony, a to kill for fawor or someone just wanna make some money and dont realy care how!

this is how it works
if you make bail or can go home from court, and have to do your jail time later
this someone will then be fitted with your social security card and has to show up of free will the day he/you should do the time.

if the socialsecurity card maches, they wont take your fingerprints or anything, they just figur it has to be you...if they dont have pictures of you that is
*it dosent work if the cops have to come get you/arest you couse then you will be procesed and they then do a full tjek on you, so make sure that the person that subs for you, knows everything needed the smallest bit of info missing could be a dissaster and end with they find out and get the real you and then its not just the charge you had befor but the lot.....
therfore he must know eerything so that he can pass as being you the intire time he is behind bars for you

as i said its prob harder or just not possible in the us but i can try to find out more if you want?

and no i would deff wait untill the court days are over it could get much worse on you in a case where they find more shit on you.

That sucks, good luck man.

1st of all, R-L-B, your idea is horrible. You must have the shittiest legal system wherever ur from.

2. Maybe it would be a good idea to start growing, pretty much saying that you need this weed for your medical condition, and even though u were caught now it's legal for you and the charges aren't going to deter you. Dunno if thats a good idea or not, but it's a thought. Maybe if they asked you if u were growing and said no, they would say "then you obviously don't need it that badly."
Sorry to hear about what happened, and I hope all goes well.

this is not true just a faritale of my imagination, couse i smoked up the wrong blend i cxant help it its so fun to lie. im actualy only 8

maybe its a horrible idea for you!
but if your in the kind of game that the boys i wrote about is then its NOT, they work full time as cover, doing there own thing after work....
and not just 1 plant growers, dont take it personal just makin a point!

(im/they are def not a normal person did lots of non normal stuff to get paid...
pulled woult jobs with somthing like c4 as a 14 year old:wtf:
its more then 10 years ago so they cant re-open the case only reason i dare mention it)

so sometimes its not as horrible as it sounds, too persons that never brocken the law in the more risc way, then to hold a bag of weed
its all about not getting caught right...
or if you do try to get the hell out, so you got to do what you got to do...

and i diddent say he should do it its like the compleat other way??? told him not to do it and i he could look in to it instead (due to dif legal sys )
i dont 100% know his situation but if i went to jail say tomorow

(i would get more than a year, and i know i would get shankèd the day i arived ok so no jail for me!)

and yes our legal sys is shittie if you are a judge or a jurry or just in bed with the goverment...
but if your me a 100% free spirrit that gives to shits about laws i diddent commit to or any other kind of "perp" its actualy a bit sweet that you cant slap a fine on sombody just couse the coffecup diddent say carefull hot bevarege, or pay out millions to some ignorant bitch putting her bird or dog to dry after a bath IN A FULLY HEATED MICRO OWEN....
you say our leg sys sucks but i would 100% shure rather get cought here than there - us stile 3 strikes its life, fuck it im happy with the system in denmark a fine on 1000danish for a pocket full of hash
(translat= fine for a brick 250$)
you get about 2-4 years for murder if you behave
we can still smoke a joint on the streets without the cops getting pissed (with some ekseptions of course)
i see most peps in here are just fuckin kids acting tuff well some of us actualy live like this and dont have other choises....so even if it dosent work for you or dive, it maby does some help for others

1. I don't grow
2. I hate current weed laws where I'm from
3. I wasn't trying to insult you at all, I was saying that you could never show up to jail with someone else's Social Security card and go to jail for them without the legal system knowing. So for an American, it's a shitty idea, that's all I meant.

ok I went to arraignment yesterday....plead not guilty. the maximum jail time for manufacture marijuana in oregon is....20 years!the max for possesion of more than an ounce......10 years!
so basically for my few small plants (thats all I had by the time they searched) Im lookin at a 30 year term in state penn.
of course I dont expect it to go that way but DAMN! thas alott.

i think i missunderstod you then, and was a bit jumpy couse everytime serius persons write something, some (Troll) always tryes to beat it to the ground and most of the time they dont now nothing about it and just wanna fuck up a good post.

so sorry if we got of wrong it was not ment that way:)

and dive fuck that is a lot of time and i think they stand good in terms of evidence, with them geting you with plants in your home!
but for maximum sentenc they prob would have to have found some more criminatin things, as weights/scales sales lists/I.O.U`S, loads of unacouteble money, kids runing around the plants to state the point that your irrissponsible and careless.
i therfore dont think you would get max time have you ever been caugt before or are you a first timer?
in dk that would get you of with a fine or some punishment working for the goverment, cleaning freeways ect.

dude ur situation does suk plz tell us this is ur first time getting caught shed a few rays of light on this thread

this is my first time facing this particular charge. I havent seen my attourny yet (I will two days from now),he sent me a packet of the D.A.'s evidence and a copy of the "DEAL" they're gonna offer.as I said they charged me manu./poss. of over an ounce....both felonies.they offered to drop the manufacture if a plea guilty to possession of over an ounce.according to the lab report I was in possesion of exactly 14.8 grams (plants/weed total)so they will have to drop it to a misdemeaner possesion.when they drop the charge down to a misd. the D.A. might make a new "DEAL" arrangement,or they may let me plea to misd. possesion. I will know more on thursday and post the new info.

Dive:stoned:

This is a possible scenario-
Very likely you can plead that the state has enough evidence to convict you on one of the charges (not a guilty plea, it gets entered as continued without finding) as part of a deal to drop the other. You would then be put on probation for a number of years after which time the charges would be dropped if you don't get in any more trouble.
I was recently arrested for a pair of felonies and got one charge dropped for agreeing that the evidence was enough for a conviction. This is REALLY common where I'm from (MA).
If you DO get in trouble or violate yor probation in any way, the downside is that you've waived your right to a trial and have to serve the time.
Best of luck Dive.

Hey Dive. I'm very sorry to hear of such a problem of yours. It really does suck, and I hope you can get out of it.

Sounds to me like you may want to approach them with an offer to plea no contest to a misdemeanor possesion, before they get any more passionate about your particulate case. Similar to what Stinky's saying. You could also propose 1-2 years probation with like 6 months suspended. Maybe you get lucky, couldnt hurt.
Either way, good luck:thumbsup:

Here in the US they actually take your prints and all that when they book you, take your picture, match it to your driver's license or state id, etc. If we could do that here, OMG, people would be getting just kidnapped off the streets all the time and taken to jail and whoever took them there would say "I stopped this guy from skipping bail" or whatever. It would be total chaos with innocent people taking the fall every day.

I went and saw my attorney I pointed out to him that the felony possesion was actually only a "violation" apparently possesion of less than an oz. is not even a misdemeanor here.....so he's talkin to the D.A. about a new plea bargain. I'll know more in a cpl days.

they do here aswell but they tend to get sloppy with there work only reason it works:) tipical the danish police

theres just been a case where a special designed sell phone
"bug phone" where placed in the briefing room in a police station where one of the bigges hash ditributing cases were to be solved and most of the evidence culdent be used couse they where posted all over the news:rastasmoke:

and dive how will it do with yor Med-lisence-grow later on if you plead guilty on the minor pos??
if it was still possible to get your lisence and grow i think i would go with that one...
i once fucked up in the army and got in a huge fight with an supirior officer and to other with same rank as i, i faced a longtime jail sentence...but my attorney and i talked them into a deal where i just paid them a huge fine left the army and got to keep my civil job and no record was written in my papers of the insident
if it where in my criminal records i would have lost my civil job asswell. (security)

wow crazy, hope you make it out all good

wow that freakin blows...they say you deserve a card, but yet that means nothing...the us's weed laws are a fucking joke

Good Luck brother our hearts and prayers will go out for you.

Actually....what this guy is talking about in Denmark (?) is simply a variation on the standard "take my test for me" and it's nothing new or even just in Denmark.
NOT that I am saying this is a good idea mind you....just not a new one.

Dive, this is a true bummer for you and I wish I could offer some advice but I don't have a single thing either. Good luck.

Shit man, looks like the law just fucked you.. technically. But there probably is a way to get around it. I mean the judge has gotta realize your situation.. but judges aren't always the best people.

OK so we have been unable to reach a plea agreement.therefor on monday I have what is called a change of plea hearing,which means just that you either plea guilty and take the deal or plea innocent and go to trial.the last offer the D.A. had was plea to somethin i didnt do (still a felony) ,altho it carries a slightly lesser sentence,I cant do it.so we go to court monday and set-up trial dates an stuff.
Im not a felon! I dont deserved to be one! If I am convicted on these charges,I will do everything I can, to screw the system in anyway I can!
A felony is something that never goes away.....once your a felon...you stay a felon.
That being sayed I figure if the state wants to create a felon, I will oblige them.I will commit many felony's against the state.
I feel that I am being attacked by the system,I will defend myself,I will seek revenge for the terrible crime being commited against me.

Dive:stoned:

Ouch that hurts. Too bad we have blue meanies who are so nosing about into everybody's personal business that doesn't hurt other people. (Assuming of course that you're not having little kids smoke blunts with you, which I'm quite sure you're not.)

lol i do have kids....but they dont know about my grow room...and i certainly never share blunts w/them :)
I have court in the morn. and I cant sleep......:(

Dive:stoned:

went to court this mornin...plead not guilty....trial starts in cpl months.
cannab!s-you hit the nail right on the head,by not taking his bargain,the D.A. knows that im willing to go the long haul....so if he's not willling...he'll need to make an offer I can accept.If he doesnt drop the case or make a good offer....then I drag it out as long as I can and cost the state as much as I can...

Dive:stoned:

Hey man. Sorry to hear about your situation. How did you get caught in the first place if ya dont mind me asking?
