What is the chance that i will actually go to jail for something like this? I live in Kentucky. Also, the cop didn't read me my Miranda rights, will that play a role in the trial?

Its weird, I didn't have any anxiety at all really when i got arrested in front of like 10 families haha, and one guy came and thanked to the cop and gave me the evil eye, i just had to laugh at that. Even sitting in jail for 18 hours i didn't really think anything off it, i just thought shit happens. Now that i am free i just have this overwhelming anxiety that keeps building up. I just keep thinking oh god i might go to jail. It might just be my ocd, but i just cant help but think its possible.


On a lighter note my parents where cool with me smoking herb. My mom said if we lived in California i would probably have a card, which is true. She also said that alcohol is worse than weed in her opinion. My dad also gave me support saying that this country has its issues, and that something like this is a bit ridiculous.


sounds exactly what happened to me. got caught with less than a bowl and my pipe, spent 16 hrs in jail. I Did not get a lawyer and i had no extra jail time or community service. I paid about a 500 fine and had UNsupervised probation for 8 months. This was my first run in with the law and they said if i didnt get introuble while i was on Unsupervised probation it would be wiped from my record. I also live in Texas which has horrible MJ laws. Goodluck
