Well I'm not in the habit of stalking people like some.
Not you of course as I gave you my address. 

Thanks gain for that hard drive, it's seeing good use!

Yeah?
So?
What?

It's been 25 years.
It's not addictive.
It was about 7 grams.
It's gone.

It won't be repeated as a waste of money.

Boy but wow it sure makes that first cup of coffee in the morning
or a 1/2 gallon of chocolate frozen yogurt go down well!

Well thanks but you're WRONG.

Two misdemeanors for the same charge is a FELONY here.

-> More than 20 grams is a felony, with a five year jail sentence, and a
$5000

No, You are yet AGAIN, WRONG.

There was no probation attendant to that charge settled in chambers
with the judge for $165.

The concurrent charge of DUI was later handled criminal court
trial where I took the stand represented by a public defender
and adjudicated not guilty by all six members of the jury.

Three of the four cops testifying lied their butt's off
with one, the video tape recording officer having   
has a sudden case of ethically induced amnesia claiming
not to having recalled any details of the incident.

BTW that video was severely edited to to the rather extensive
police misconduct committed on tape.

The judge hammered the prosecution for overstepping bounds 
six times at least.

The part that was allowed to be shown to the jury just
of the field sobriety tests sans police misconduct
showed me 100 percent sober.

Usually when a jury returns in 20 minutes the news
is BAD for the individual in question however
the police in this case put on such an incredibly poor
show of perjury ( a felony in this case) that it resolved
in my favor in lightning speed.

No you do NOT get probation for being adjudicated not guilty
and the 1985 4 1/2 gram marijuana bust was settled
in chamber with a fine.

I never even got to smoke any of it but one of the cops
took a whiff and proclaimed it top quality.

I've smoked pot back in my 20's WITH a Saint Petersburg Police officer.

Given a ride hitch hiking I thought it neighborly to offer
a doobie for the lift.

Oops, out come the police I.D., then he took a hit much to my relief.
Then he said it was poor quality ( all too true) so he
asked if I wanted to smoke some "good stuff" and I went to his
place.

Yup, police definitely get the good stuff.

But dang Tim this is JUST the sort of personal stuff the moderator
here specifically warned he didn't want posted here and here
you go soliciting it yet again :-(

I AM correcting your factual errors of course.

-> 
-> A crime is a crime. *You* admitted to having committed a crime (possibly
two,
-> if a probation violation is also involved).

What probation might that be?

-> 
-> So........you need to not climb up on that `moral' high-horse of yours
too
-> much. You don't fit that image.

A M.J. cigarette  is hardly a moral infraction.

It's just a DUMB law.

Check out LEAF:
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition.

Cops, former cops, judges and former judges
all opposed to the criminalization of drugs
and the crime and violence that has led to.

Now lets all try to abide by the moderators declared
want that we keep out the personal stuff OK?

I just felt the need to clarify a good many of your 
incorrect surmises.
