8 days to clear my system! Help!

[lankyelephant]

Yes, I realize that this is the reason why I was caught. My neglect resulted in what is almost now entirely out of my hands. Now that they've suspected me of substituting, does anyone know what might happen once this goes to court? I'm assuming that they can use this against me, but will it bear any worse punishment? I meet with my attorney sometime this week to discuss everything so I will keep everyone posted.

What was your original charge lanky? If it was simple possession or something of the like and your county has strict probation rules it Will come back and bite you hard. Call your lawyer man, if your paying that mouth-piece the big fat wad that you probably are he better be happily willing to answer your questions or have a sit-down.

Sara, not necessarily the right thread for this, but I know your looking for some quick consolation. The half life of the thc that stays in your system varies greatly from person to person. Everyone here that doesn't like to carelessly dish out advice that effects lives will be hesitant or unwilling to answer a question regarding a different persons metabolism because they vary so greatly. I can tell you however, that given that you are a healthy active individual that takes in the right amounts of water, deficates at least daily (constipation messes your body up more than you know), and has seemingly normal body functions chances are you wont store that tony amount of thc for more than a week. But on the other hand, if you had to take the time to come on a forum and ask, you must be nervous. NEVER NEVER NEVER ever ever ever, go into a drug test without being 100% confident that you got that shit down. Buy a home test, period, no exception. Drink lots of water, and test the day before you go in. If its positive start thinking about substitution (responsibly). If its negative youll feel like a 100 bucks and your nerves will think it was worth $15.

My original charge is just possession under 100 grams. I am not paying for my attorney either, I have a free one through my school's student legal system. He is going to call me later this weekend to set up a meeting so that's when I will find out what is happening next.

Have you already been to court for this matter once? Im assuming you did and got some sort of deferment or under advisement plea that allowed you to be on a probationary status, take drug tests, and assuming that you pass you have the chance to have it expunged from your record? This depends alot on your county. A friend of mine was busted on a college campus with marijuana seeds and had a year of drug screenings, while I know that counties bordering that one that are larger and less bum-fuck nowhere dont administer drug tests for a possession (mostly because they're cheap and handle alot of drug charges I assume). Chances are if you were on probation for those charges with a likely-hood of having it expunged you may be having a poss. charge on record due to the drug test mishap. To some that's not a big deal, but if you want to work for the government (Id advise against it) it could be. Then again, they might still send your test into a gc to see, it comes up negative, and you have to give a damn good reason why you pissed everywhere. ( You were nervous because of the gravity of the situation even though you were clean, missed, pissed on the floor and felt so frickin embarassed and disgusted about it you couldnt stop shaking). As I say all of this depends on your judge and the harshness of the penalties in your county. Chances are you wont go to jail, but may end up in a rehab or on tests for a buck-as$ long time. Your not in jail, so I say dont worry bout it too much, and roll with the punches. However if there has ever been a time in your life to go ahead and give up pot for a while... This Is It!

Yeah, I've come to the realization that almost thing is out of my hands at this point. Other than paying fines out the ass and losing my driving license for six months, I am not sure what else will happen. I really don't mind giving up pot, but it really sucks knowing that I could possibly lose financial aid for college. Hope everyone else out there takes this as a precautionary message for those you trying to beat the court.

[TebitEvas]

Whoa, losing your license?? Is a DUI involved here? Is there more charges than just simple possession, or were you maybe driving when you got caught. Im currently pending a possible license loss also, but man I'd be pissed if I lost it for a frickin s.poss. and I wasn't even driving. Messed up country man.

If it makes you feel better I got busted with a pipe in my car (didnt have my license, was arrested, then searched), was Not administered a sobriety test and was arrested for DUI. So far Ive already dropped 3k on a lawyer and Im lookin at up to 1.5k more to take care of the court costs and a pending traffic ticket I forgot to show up to court on. That bs dui will cost me nearly 5k, even though I dont think it will stick in court.

No, I actually got caught in my own dorm room when my RA called the police on me. They violated my rights and that is why the case was going to be dropped if I passed the two drug tests. I really have no clue as to what will happen, time will only tell. I'm sorry to hear about your misfortunes, that really is such a shitty situation. Just keep your head up Tebit, don't let the system bring you down.
