I flip my world upside down and move half way across the country on my credit card, pay for rent on my credit card, and, even took out 12-25% cash advances just to get a small bag of herb. I'm slowly ruining my life, and, I like it better this way because I'm the only one that I can blame. If I wanted to, I could be jovial and love-spreading, but, because I can't look past what has happened to me, I let myself down.

My niece's birthday party is tomorrow night and I'm afraid to go. I have to deal with the fight of my life, all day, and, then go over to my brother's for my 11-year-old niece's birthday and cake/ice cream. I can't slap a sign on my head saying that I'm now an invalid, please excuse me.

And I made a mistake of getting a girlfriend who needs my help in her life. Who am I to think that I can help someone?

r0k, I'll have to look into your answer. I did contact a lawyer, who said that he was no longer involved, but, I was given two more to contact; never received feedback from either (both were in California).

I have never discussed my case with a lawyer. I can't afford one, so the only possible way is if someone takes my case for "human interest and concern" only. I feel that God played a joke on me. Or, maybe the joke's on the world. Either way, I feel it.

"There's nothing more I can do for you."
"Other than that, there's nothing more I can do for you."
"Well, hang in there."
"Why would you want to leave Virginia?"

The first three statements were from doctors. The fourth was from Michael Krawitz, of N.O.R.M.L.
That really sucks man.

Maybe you can just move out to the country and grow your own?

I highly doubt people that don't buy or sell, and just grow and smoke at home get busted very often.

I also had a disappointing experience with NORML. After a run-in with the cops in Maine when I got charged with a crime not listed under "Maine marijuana laws" on their website, I sent them an e-mail requesting they add the law to the list.

I got back a form letter telling me to look on their website for the laws in Maine.

I realized they hadn't read it, and I called them on the phone. The guy I talked to was very defensive and a little rude. I thanked him for the hard work they had been doing, and politely asked them to list the law on their site. They still haven't. Oh well.

Anyway, I hope you can get shitloads of weed without having to worry about it. Good luck. Sending positive thoughts your way, my friend.
