Hey, Donnie. I dont know if you noticed or not, but Jcrim doesn't seem to come to the boards anymore. If he does, he has barely signed in since last spring.

Here in Texas and most other states, it's a fairly good assumption that if you find a criminal defense attorney, one who's used to dealing with and defending drug cases in the lower courts, he or she is going to be reasonably pot-friendly, as long as he's not having to try and defend someone who's been caught with huge quantities and obvious intent to distribute--or with other complicating factors, like weapons, other crimes, or more hamful drugs like meth. Attorneys know weed alone is a fairly minimal matter as legal things go, and they know there are lots better ways for courts and prosecutors to be spending their time. Usually look for someone who doesn't have a big practice yet, which means he or she will tend to take on small and medium-sized defenses, and just ask them what their attitudes are. You can usually find out a lot with an initial phone call. Legal Aid attorneys and counselors from law clinics at area law schools tend to be reasonably open-minded, too, because they help lots of young people.
