I was stripped of my scholarship and fafsa grant because of a roach. Im a stone mason now, so this was not much of an issue, given that in my line of work you only need to walk onto a site and ask for work to get a job. However, when the recession hit last year, work was hard to come by so i needed a second job. I applied at various businesses, including walmart, and none would give me a job. I know people with past dui convictions who had no problems getting hired there. It just doesnt seem right that a roach can haunt me for almost a decade. The weird thing is that i quit smoking for 7 years after getting caught(trying to conform), but all i did was become an overweight, unmotivated version of myself. after i couldnt get a job last year i woke up. I didnt just start smoking again, but i became an activist. i lost the weight, started living again, and reconnected with my past and myself. I wasnt wrong, they were and i am going to fight to prove it.

Same here, I got possession and paraphernalia charge on my record. I have a dead-end job, and have recently been trying my ass off to get better employment. Alot of app's ask about misdemeanors and what not. Well, after applying so many times at a spot where I have more than enuff experience in, they still wont hire me. I ask a friend that works there to check into it, and they tell me str8 out that it's because of the drug charges. Another friend of mine who works in human resources recently told me most business' and companies overlook things like dui and are very strict when it comes to ANY type of drug charges. They don't want to hire "junkies" or "drug addicts". Blows my mind!

The same happened to a friend of mine. Guy is smarter than fuck and went to college, graduated and all that. Tried his ass off to get a good job, and he ended up having to go to court to clear the possession charge off his record (I didn't know you could do this, but I guess if your record has been clean since, and you have good reason, you can clear it).

I aint no "junkie" or "drug addict". I've been sober from alcohol for almost a year now, and I aint looking back. I smoke weed. Fuckn' aye it should be legalized!
