a stressful night that led to my decision to quit

i think finally, after 4 years of smoking it, i have decided to quit smoking weed.. [] this is even surprising me, especially since for the past like 6 months i have turned into a complete pothead.. but the time has come. i've had enough of the bullshit that comes with it. yeah, its a fun time, but its not worth 887 fucking dollars.

so last night, me and richard were going to go visit his mom for a little while but we ended up getting in a stupid fight and i decided to not go [good fucking thing i did too], but told him to go anyways cuz he hadnt seen her in awhile. so his friend bud came and picked him up and they were gone for a little while.
turns out they had stopped in macon to get a dime on the way back for bud [cuz me and richard already had some weed] and they got pulled over pulling into the fucking motel parking lot [] i wish i woulda looked out the window and seen em there cuz then i woulda had time to flush the shit and hid our [brand new] pipe.
now keep in mind, we had a little fight earlier so as soon as he left, i started smoking.. and by the time the cops knocked on my door i was on my 3rd [very large] bowl. when they first started knocking on my door, i thought they were knocking on the room next to mine's door. when i finally realized they were knocking on my door, i scrambled to at least get the shit out of sight and then was trying to go put a bra on when they came through the door [they had gotten richards room key from him and opened it]
they come barging in and put me in cuffs and i was just like "what the FUCK is going on?!" cuz i didnt even think that richard had any weed on him. so they take me outside in the freezing fucking cold in my practically see through wifebeater [keep in mind i had no bra on ] and my pj shorts. i was just standing there shaking violently while they were yelling at me and then the one dickhead police officer went to go talk to richard [who was in the cop car] and he left me with the nicer officer who let me stand inside the door of my room so i would stop shaking so bad. then the dickhead one came back and said "if you dont tell me what we are going to find in that room, then you are gonna go to jail with your boyfriend" so i told them that there was a little baggie of weed and a glass pipe.
then they put me in the back of the cop car for what seemed like an eternity and i was crying and stressing and worrying if my cat was gonna run out the door that they left wide open. so they finally came back and realized that they had locked the keys in the car they had put me in [dumbasses ] and had to call a tow team to get em out for him [luckily the towing place is like 1 minute from the hotel] so they finally get me out and tell me that they will be letting me go cuz i told them the truth and whatnot and i go back in my room, completely freaked out and i searched my room frantically for my cat and finally found her.
so richard called me from jail like 45 minutes later telling me to bring 100 dollars cuz his bond was gonna cost 107 bucks. so i ride on my bike all the way to the fucking atm and then the police station and end up sitting there for 2 hours waiting on the goddamn bondsman to come. and then me and richard had to walk all the way home in the freezing cold and didnt get to sleep til like 5am. and then i had to wake up an hour later to go to work [arghhh]
he has to go to court in january and the fine is 887 dollars so he will probably have to go on probation for a couple of months til he pays it off. he's thinking about getting a second job cuz he wants to pay it off as soon as possible. i just feel bad for richard cuz it was buds weed but richard took the responsibility for it cuz bud had been drinking [and was driving] so he was already gonna get charged with something pretty bad. and he even told them that there was shit in the room and that they could search it as long as they didnt arrest me. this is the second time something like this has happend to him except last time he got his license taken away.

so me and him have decided to quit smoking weed. i know this shit didnt directly happen to me, but i REALLY dont want anything like this to ever happen to me and i've had quite a few close calls in the past. i work way too hard for my money to just give it to some damn judge just cuz i smoke herb. im usually pretty smart when it comes to cops and drugs but i just dont wanna risk it. plus, this will help us save A LOT of money that we need to be saving right now. im just happy it didnt end up worse than it did

 

yoh kan't afford it, beein real.

 

wow that really is not good i would probably quit smoking weed if something like that happened to me too.. it just ain't worth it

 

man what a horrible night ! the world is a fuckin unfair place. And to think they go after people like you when there is all sorts of other far worse things going on. A little pot shouldnt be such a problem.

 

They locked their keys in the car!!??

 

That's what happens when it's treated like a drug...

All because someone failed to tell the supreme court in a 90 second hearing that it was the hemp plant. There is no way they can deny mother nature's existance and I won't have it.

It shouldn't be this complex or difficult; buying it through friends of friends makes it even worse; growing it is easier than buying it.

Overgrow the government.

 

haha yes, i found this quite amusing as well.


i really hate living in a small town where the cops are bored all the time so they will arrest anyone for the teeniest tiniest offence, or just pull people over for the hell of it. it takes 4 cop cars to pull someone over for a broken tail light

 

That's how it is here... but if a cop is behind me, I duck into a driveway and cut my lights off (keep it in neutral or else your brakelights will give you away), go in the other direction, then take backroads for awhile.

It's always at your own risk, though...

I've managed to only get improper driving on my record...

 

I goddamnwell hate that. You wouldn't even get a court date or a fine for that much up here...

FUCK. What bullshit

I'm sorry Hev.

 

This would not even be an issue if the herb were LEGAL. they would have no issue with it.Pretty bad when you have to give up something that you enjoy just because the man says it is wrong.

I hope the best for you and your boyfriend.

Peace

 

I quit because my boyfriend's house got raided, his brother was thrown in jail

...don't want to risk it, you never know when their watching what you're doing.. the government.. they have so much control. sadly, it's not even worth it anymore.

The world is a sad place.

We'll see if I take up smoking my ganja again but it's not looking likely anytime soon.. I don't want the legal issues involved with it hindering my dreams.

The media and government have distorted the facts much too much.. it's bad, it's real bad.

 

meg - yeah, the laws in america are so much more strict. coming from england to here has been hard cuz the marijauna laws over there are WAY more relaxed.

-"Pretty bad when you have to give up something that you enjoy just because the man says it is wrong."
-"We'll see if I take up smoking my ganja again but it's not looking likely anytime soon.. I don't want the legal issues involved with it hindering my dreams."

Yeah, I completely agree with both of you. I really love smoking weed. It helps me relax and DEFINITLY helps me wind down and go to sleep early at night. [which is a must because I have to wake up at 6am every morning to go to work and im the type to stay awake until the wee hours of the morning] But Im willing to give up smoking it cuz I wont risk going to jail or having to pay some crazy huge fine.


Another small note about last night that I found kinda funny
Even though me and my boyfriend are both under 21 and the cops could smell the beer on my breath [i know because they asked me if i had been drinking] they did not even care enough about that fact to even REMOVE the beer cans from our fridge, let alone charge us or warn us about underage drinking. They dont give a shit that we are damaging our livers and breaking the underage drinking laws but they care about a fucking dime bag of weed

 

Sorry.
Nobody likes to give dat up.
Glad you did before you got in big time poo.
I feel you man.
-edit-
wo-man

 

i was honestly expecting something psychological or spiritual ... its a freaky story. although not one worth quitting deep down

 

I'm going through a year of shit on "drug court" probation. i had to sell my VW bus to pay my fines and my lawyer. i have to get drug tested twice a week. i have to attend a group relapse prevention meeting, an individual meeting, and an NA meeting every week. with all that i have to work 30 hours a week and attend college as a full time student.

and i still am not going to quit weed. although i am clean now. once I'm off probation, i am just going to be much more careful!!!

i love everything about weed too much. its a wonderful plant.

 

Feelin artsy

 

once i read (i'd quote it, but i dont remember the exact phrasing and i'm not positive its abbie hoffman or not...) that the only things worth doing in life are ones worth dying or going to jail for.
i think its a good way to make decisions.
not every law is worth breaking.

 

damn...that truely sounds horrible hev after a night like that i dont think i would find it worth it to smoke.

 

Wow That really sucks ...
Makes me glad I live in Québec

The cops here probably wouldn't care really, my neighbor (who's my age) had a huge pot plant. So his father called the cops and him, and all they did was put it in their car and saying it was :''one of the finest plants they ever saw ''

But i'm sorry Hev, is your boyfriend gonna have to go to court or something ?

 

Haha... they totally dried it out and smoked it.
