I'm pretty sure this is the correct thread for this, I just wanted to drop off a little piece of knowledge. Now before I start this topic, I want to state that I know that Marijuana.com does not encourage or discuss the dealing of drugs. I also want to say that I am in NO way encouraging or promoting the sale of drugs, I actually think it is a very stupid risk to take and should not be taken by anyone who doesn't really need the money. But I also understand that sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

Anyways, this topic is just some very important advice that I wanted to tell people. If you are ever busted for delivery of a drug, or charged with intent to deliver. Please do everything you can to get a paid lawyer. If you can't get a paid lawyer, be 100 percent sure that you have a court-appointed lawyer that is going to put some effort into the case.

I just got released from prison/jail six months ago after serving 16 months for delivery of marijuana. I spent six months in jail, then was sent to a youth offenders prison for 10 months. I was then released on one year probation with a suspended 3-15 year sentence. Which means that if I screw up on probation, which I hope I don't, I will have to finish out the remaining 3 to 15. So with 16 months served, if I go back, I will have to serve another 20 months before even being eligible for parole. This was the plea bargain I chose.

My point? I got fucked over by a court-appointed lawyer. I didn't know at the time, because I was young and just trying to do everything I could to get out of jail as soon as possible. This was my first felony offense, and it was only marijuana. The 16 months I can tolerate, but I never should have never been stuck with a suspended 3-15 ran consecutive.

Not only that, I was forced to pay $330 dollars resitution for the money the police used to buy the drugs off me. I only sold them $180.00 dollars worth of drugs. So they ripped me off for $150 dollars. A good lawyer would have noticed this.

So please, if you take the risk of dealing drugs on a daily basis, just know that you WILL get caught. You can't do anything illegeal forever, just ask John Gotti and the countless other career criminals spending life in prison. But if you do take the chance, and you do get busted, please take time to think things through and pay attention to your paper work as well as EVERYTHING you sign. Don't sign a plea bargain with-out reading over it several times, and don't believe for a second that a court-appointed lawyer has your best interests in heart. Most court-appointed lawyers eat lunch with the judge that will be sentencing you. Besides, all you are is another case to them.

Anyways, I may have rambled alittle bit. It may seem like "obvious" advice. But when you get thrown in that cell and you can't get out, your "common sense" sort of goes away.

I just learned a huge lesson from life experience, and I decided to share it. If you have any questions, please ask, and if this topic is in the wrong place, please move it and I apologize in advance.

P.S. I took my piss test two weeks ago and passed, then went home and got so high that I literally zoned out and couldn't hear people talking to me for like five minutes. It was fu-king great.
