A friend? Really.

I guess I just choose my friends more carefully. Or maybe it's because I have too much to lose now to take chances.

Unfortunately that's the law. It sucks, once I had a friend of mine come to work with me and my dad. Well, my dad (being a former pot-head) smelled marijuana on my friend. He still drove him home but drove extra-careful. He asked me later about it and I was like "yeah, i know he had some pot."
My dad then told me (from his extensive experience of run-ins with the law) that indeed had he been pulled over and had the cop found pot on my friend, all of us would get hit with possession, whether or not we knew it was there.
It sucks a big fat one, but when you consider how often people lie about not knowing their friends had pot, all the while expecting to smoke it with them later, it kinda makes sense that the law wouldn't give a crap.
Anyways sounds like you've been getting the shaft lately my friend, hope your luck improves soon!

I was an old leftist anarchist type at Berkeley, so was arrested 13 times, spent many a weekend in jail. Not the funnest, but not the worst experience either.

And what others have sad, maybe a better class of friends is in order.

texasmade,

I feel bad for you. The system is ****ed. I see it over and over again, they charge someone like you and but yet at the same time they let other repeat guilty offenders off with a slap on the wrist.
