Just got locked up over a gram.
I got locked up over a gram that wasn't on me and that shit is just troubling me. The officer said he saw me go around the corner but he didn't see me drop the weed and it was a good 10 ft away from me. For those who don't know I live Mont. County MD, one of the richest counties in the country, and police are so bloodthirsty to lock people up. I know in the end Im just going to pay a fine for paraphenilia or something but I can't take this BS anymore I'm about to move somewhere where they don't blow small stuff out of proportion. I shouldn't even have to go to court for this crap. I just want to eventually be able to live, grow, and smoke in peace. Living here is literally ruining my life picking up all these petty fucking charges. Seems like when I stay to myself I'm fine but whenever I'm around other people I always get in trouble. I'm willing to move anywhere in the country where I'll be able to live in peace.:cool: Anyway Im just venting.

Sorry to here about it. I tend to stay to myself most of the time. I medicate and enjoy everything that life has to offer. Not to say I don't blaze with buddies, but it's few and far between and when it does happen it's at someone's place. I live in Cali. and have my mmj rec and card so I generally don't have to worry about it. I medicate in public all the time since the law states that I can medicate wherever smoking is allowed, but I am VERY discreet both out of respect for those around me and not wanting LEO contacts over something stupid. I'm legal but that doesn't mean they can't mess with me and take up a good part of my day. Lots of nice places to live out here!:jointsmile:

Maryland sucks, and if the bag wasn't on you, they can't pin it on you. But, the way they operate back east any more, once you get into the system, they want to keep you in it. You sound young, so save your money and like Horace Greeley once said, "Go west young man, go west!" :D

you are definitely right.. but I wasnt smoking outside nor was I doing anything wrong. My "buddy" wanted to eat some chips before we went into the gym so we sat down at a bench and right after we sit down here they come. I'm not worried about the outcome of the case.. whatever happens.. happens. I just want to move somewhere where I can live in peace. Living out here has been the single worst experience in my life. Ive tried to make the best out of it but it's about that time that I leave. This area is too petty for me.. from the legal system to the people around here. And yea I am still young, 23 to be exact. I don't want to waste out here when I could go somewhere where I can thrive.

Hmm?
Does that mean you got picked up for a gram? Or, does it mean you got picked up because you had over a gram?

I hear you man... I live on the opposite side of DC in virginia and the cops here are ridiculous as well. Its great being in the area but the police here are dicks. You ever thought about moving into the district? DC passed medical but the laws are still under contruction. Also its a tad bit out of my price range to live inside the district.
Also my buddies who live in mont. co say that in MD you can say that you use the herb for medicinal use in court WITHOUT a doctors note. The state laws are half assed but maybe you can get out of it.
Im definitely saving my money to move west. Cali or washington... We must go west my friend! Goodluck with everything.

I don't really like DC. Its cool but I couldnt live there. I love Cali but I dont if Im trying to up and move out there. I want to move to GA or FLA. At least parts of GA are laid back enough to the point where you arent constantly getting harrassed. I just want to be able to relax, work, have my own place where I can grow a few plants at most. Moving to Cali would be tooo much of a change right now.
and to Stomper I got locked up in possession of a gram

Come to Cali.
My local cops could care less about smoking weed.
Anything less than an OZ they usually just let you go or will stomp it out if a supervisor is around.
Theres alot more drugs out there being used that people should be getting locked up for!

It seems the closer one is to D.C (District of Criminals) the more petty and harsh they treat MJ.
Look west.

That REALLY sucks. In response to these events ruining your life, I totally agree and know where you're coming from. Prohibition is the thing that ruins people's lives, not cannabis. Screw the cops that spend their whole day punishing victimless crimes instead of actually doing something productive for the public that gives them their whole pay check... We need more real cops in the world, luckily my neighborhood is full of those real cops even though it's peaceful. If you're caught with a gram here, nothing happens; you only get a warning.

@ antzinyopants and GateKeeper Im definitely going to look into Cali or one of the other states that seem to be somewhat lenient like Oregon or Washington.
and Satire you couldn't have said it any better. I'm a very peaceful dude and I never cause problems for my neighborhood. In fact I would cooperate 100% with police out here if they werent such assholes. There was a shooting in my neighborhood last week (very random because its a chill neighborhood) and they were asking questions and I might have been able to help but since they are dicks I pretty much let them know to be on their way because I cant help.

Damn, locked up for a gram? That sucks. You should have just popped it in your mouth and chewed it up.
Yeah it's a gram of weed, but at least you probably would not have done time.

I am originally from Montgomery County. Montgomery County sucks, and that is a deliberate understatement.
You should leave, it will be the best thing you have ever done for yourself, as it was for me decades ago.
Seriously.
As an aside, my experiences with DC cops was always mellow. I think that they see so much REAL violent CRIME that they don't fret overly much over something like a little bud. Maybe I was just lucky, but I've had them walk by me when I was smoking in a public park, say hello and never even mention it. Also, I think pot is fairly well decriminalized in DC, if I remember correctly.

im famous putting blunts out and eating them!! I've had to eat bud with the plastic on it because I didnt have enough time to take it out the bag. In this case I wasn't in an enclosed vehicle or anything so I didnt see a reason to eat it. We were sitting at a park bench not doing anything and a park police pulled up and backed out. When he pulled up we saw him.. when he backed out from the angle it was there was a trailer blocking him from seeing us so I then got up and placed it on the otherside of the trailer and walked back but by the time I walked back hed have seen that I got up so I just sat elsewhere. He told me to get up and by the time we talked for a min his back up was there searching the area... I couldve just ran in the first place but it was just 1 person and usually I dont take park police serious. When his back up came they had vest on that just said police on the back and their uniform was diff. so I thought they were the real police so I held tight.
anyway thats why I didnt eat it

I moved from the ATL, GA area in 2002 and Im already fed up with it and have been for a while. For every good thing I can say about the County I have 5 negaties. And yea D.C. is very chill when it comes to small stuff because they have so much violent crime over there.

Colorado is beautiful, and has tons of great looking women. And so far they seem to be pretty MMJ friendly except in some of the smaller mountain towns.
Good luck in where ever you end up........

I am in California. However, from what all I have read, I would move to Denver, CO!! Besided, there is a lot of good fishing there! I understand pot is simply not an issue in Denver! Good luck to you! pr

You started acting suspicious is the only reason he stopped to talk to you. If you had just sat there and done nothing you wouldn't have brought any attention to yourself.
He hauled you in and booked you for a gram??

Just as others here have stated, unless you have to bring it with you just leave the shit at home.

Florida is a great place if you like the sun and beach, but it is hard to find anything around here and the laws are pretty stiff too. I had to move here for work but if I had a choice I would go to Colorado or Cali bro.. Ga is just as bad and no Sun or beach worth going to.

The cops should focus on improving their no-so-good ability to catch real criminals, drunk-drivers and pedophiles and rapists and murderers, rather than harassing us peaceful folks that just want to have a good time with ourselves without harming anyone.
Looks like the cops around your area have nothing better to do.
