Okay, I gotta vent

[smokincajun]

Freakin' punks! I think it's safe to say they have too many real criminals out there to worry about us! I honestly know I'd be a waste of time...I don't have the funds to invest in any quantity (besides, we all know it's quality that counts!). I appreciate the insight! "That ain't mine! I didn't order that!" Or rather, "heh heh, what evidence?"

Howdy smokincajun,

Well..they tricked me into opening the door,by having a young task force feller in plainclothes knock on the door,I thought it was a friend who lives here and didn't realise who was really at the door..I actually opened the door and said "wassup ?"..then my eyes focused and I realized that it was someone else..he pulled a badge out from under his t-shirt and said "we need to talk to you about some marijuana you've been gittin at the post office.."..then he waves to his fellow pigs and next thing I know,I'm standing in the living-room with about 8 fellers..it sucked man. They visited me,the same mornin that the latest package had arrived. I wasn't doing mom,I was gittin gifts of compassion,from folks who wanted to simply ease my back pain,with no expectation of payment. The un-identified fed,realized that the amounts were so small,that it wasn't worth charging me..thank goodness..however,he did warn me against tellin my story on-line..that part is creepy.

The advice for mom,is that when ya git the package,you should write 'Return to sender' on it,right away..then set it over to the side-like yer fixing to take it back to the post office and wait a couple of hours or so. Once you you feel it's safe,then open the package,retrieve the contents and destroy the packaging and throw it away.

However-I wouldn't blame ya,if you just opened the package right away and threw the packaging away asap..lol..that's probably what most folks do.

Man, Torog. I'm sorry to hear about that. I hope you get out of this thing. Why can't they leave people alone. we should be able to do what we want in our own homes. I thought this was frikkin America.......Home of the Free!

Howdy Shelbay,

Thanx for yer kind words and support

Yup..this whole event has certainly made me more paranoid,and I wish that I had the money to invest in some counter-surveillance gear,so I could better ensure my privacy. I'm also glad that the task force here,has lost it's federal funding and is being dis-banded at the end of March,it'll be down to just one narc for the county and one for the city,lol. I have a feeling,that many other folks besides me here,have had bad experiences with the task force and it serves em right that they're being dis-banded..mwaahhahah !:dance:

I reckon that I'm gonna cut a few inches off my hair and maybe a couple inches off my beard,so I won't look like the county's biggest pothead,before my court date coming up on Tuesday at 9 am.

Have a good one ! :stoned:

speaking of - saw this in the news yesterday...I think the return address was probably a bad idea!

MILL VALLEY, Calif. - A man who allegedly mailed a half-pound of marijuana without an address label on the package was arrested after authorities returned it to its sender.

Steven Coburn, 48, of Mill Valley was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of drug possession for sale and investigators found another 1 1/2 pounds of marijuana worth $10,000 at his home behind Tamalpais High School, said Det. Matt Lethin of the Marin County Major Crimes Task Force.

The private Corte Madera shipping company where Coburn tried to mail the package on Feb. 16 followed company protocol by opening the package to see whether the label was accidentally sealed inside, Lethin said.

"Once they opened it up and saw what was inside, they immediately called law enforcement," Lethin said.

Investigators said they are not sure whether Coburn forgot to affix the address label or it fell off, but it had a return address on it that led to Coburn.

He was booked into Marin County Jail and posted bail. A court date was set for March 8.

Torog...
your lucky you got in trouble with a few grams. i had just bought a half pound to take home and smoke for a week on and i was going to love that. anyways on my way home i got pulled over and arrested for 8.6 ounces of it.

i went to the Arlington jail over off of Division street where i posted bail and got my car out of impound. as of right now i am on probation for 2 years (no smoking) and i have yet to get a court date in the mail but it is coming.

some people say they have all the bad luck???? try getting charged with

possession of marijuana 4oz - 5pounds with the intent to distribute.

aint that a bitch??? it was a personal sack and its been about 2 months with no smoking so i have gone insane literally crazy

Howdy azsxdc,

Dang ! That really sucks man !

I feel that I'm indeed lucky,compared to yer charges

Have you tried gittin in touch with the lawyers listed at the NORML site for Dallas/Ft.Worth Chapter ? I talked with 2 of em,Lowe was one and LeNoir was the other,Lenoir said that he prefers cases like your's,that simple possesion wasn't really worth his time. I was also gonna call Lechtenberger,who offers a free consultation and the number for that-can be found at his web site,under drugs,I believe.

So..you went to arraignment,and the judge gave you probation until yer trial ? I have a hearing on the 28th and was wonderin what the heck they plan on doing to me there,I plan on tellin the judge that I'm 100% disabled and that I need a lawyer to negotiate the terms of probation and community service,if I plead no contest..otherwise,I may want to see about suppressing the evidence,as it was taken during a 'knock and talk',during which-I felt like I was under duress to comply.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers ..and pray that you can put the screws back at the bastards.

Have a good one ....
