Is this a remotely fair punishment?
|
In february i was caught at a ski mountain with a bowl with marijuana residue and some seeds. I went to court and got a diversion program. The people assigned me 30 hours of community service, a drug abuse program, 2 letters of apology, and a weekly grade report thats sent to them. I was beyond pissed at this since i was my FIRST involvement with the police. Did i get off the hook or was that steep as you know what?

it's excessive, but it's a lesson in real life
whether you agree with the laws or not, follow them, if you dont like being hassled |

I wish that I would have received a punishment like that when I was a teenager. When they found some pot on me they let me go, broke my pipe, and told me not to throw my life away. A couple years later when I was 17, I was caught manufacturing methamphetamine, yes it was my first formal charge, take this into consideration. They tried me as an adult. I got 8 years probation, participation in a drug/alcohol treatment, 6 months in jail, 400 hours of community service and 15,000 dollars in fines and fees. I wouldn't complain, your punishment sounds fair, they were trying to help you so you don't end up where I am. Pot started me on my path to where I went. Consider yourself grateful. |

Its more than "remotely fair".
Look up what the maximum punishment for your crime is, and then quit whining.
Life is simple; make choices, accept the consequences |

um, whatever dude, if your dumb enough to dumb down your brain tissues so that you can be brainwashed by the liberal left so be it
learn from me, don't smoke pot or do drugs, or drink alcohol, or any of that crap, your just slowly killing yourself or making yourself docile. |
