im sorry guys, i posted pretty hastily earlier. i was trying to get to that CS so i could get it done

so heres the scoop on my initial charges. im looking at the origional paperwork right now and it says: "Offense: CONT SUBS-POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA" and then "judegment of guilt is deferred under: MCL 333.7411, Controlled Substance Act"

if you dont know what 7411 is, it basically means this was my first offense and because of that, they automatically put me on a diversion plan (aka probation) with the stipulation that at the end of the 6 months i would get the charge expunged.

as for my violations, i had 2 for no shows(not fails. i currently have no fails on my record)1 for not paying my fines(payed today), 1 for not doing community service(finished today) and 1 for not getting a substance abuse assessment(scheduled tomorrow).

now with this in mind, and the fact that since the last time they saw me ive cut my hair, gotten a job, pay for my own apartment now and will(god willing) be able to piss clean on thursday if they ask me to [sidenote:what are the odds of that happening???]; what do you think my odds are of just getting maybe a 3 months extension or something? cause i can totally do that. im pissed at myself for fucking up and i love weed but weed will always be there. it always has been so, needless to say, i think ill live without it for a bit

also kind of a p.s. i called my P.O. today and told him that my rents wanted to get me a lawyer and i asked him if he thought it was even necessary. i forgot hes not allowed to give me legal advice, but he told me that and then said "but...i dont really see what hes going to do for you if you follow through on your end" and he cut it off there. hes already told me he doesnt even know what im facing, but that kind of comforted me

i called the lawyer today anyway and he was a bag of douche. he wouldnt even hear any details of my situation unless i drove all the way to portage, so i didnt go cause it was a gamble. i wouldnt have gotten my CS done today if i had done that and something tells me thats more important. but hell thats why im asking you guys.

sorry for the hella long post, but now youre pretty much totally informed and hopefully that can let those with experience/knowledge with the law give me a slightly better answer :thumbsup:
