I was told that here in the good ol' perfect state of South Carolina [/end sarcasm] that even with paying the fine, I could serve jail time (15 - 30 days), although it's not likely. However, if they DO decide to randomly pick me for jail time, I can request Pre-Trial Intervention. Apparently it's my ticket to get out of jail free on community service/rehab instead (yeah, like rehab is going to change my opinions on marijuana... not likely ). Either way, I'm doing what I can to fight this thing.

I wonder if after I've paid the fine and everything if I should say politely to him "Next time, could you write the word 'cannabis' instead of 'marijuana' on my ticket? It sounds a little racial." (lol, just a stoned thought. I wouldn't really do that.)

Anyways, just wish me luck everyone.
