my friends always tell me i should smoke pot, because it's not a "big deal and i wont get in trouble", but that's such bullshit here. we have a thing where they put all of the mugshots taken in the last week up online and on the news and over half of our arrests are marijuana related.
it's always listed as possession and it's usually combined with stuff like with driving while impaired, reckless endangerment, probation violation, drug paraphernalia, trafficking marijuana, selling a controlled substance, controlled substance within 300 ft of a school, etcetc. by the time they're done stacking up charges for the hell of it, some of these kids are in 5-10 years.
there are a lot of things you should consider GW, like whether or not you are heavily susceptible to addictions and how your local area treats it.
