Hey, this is just to follow up on this thread for those of you who are interested in mushroom law sentencing.
Originally a felony 2, my lawyer convinced the police to reduce the charge to a felony 4. For this, the court has agreed to enter me into Ohio's "intervention in lieu of conviction" program, wherein if I successfully complete a year's worth of drug counseling and stay clean, the charges disappear.
I know this sounds like a bastardization of justice, but in making this happen, having a good lawyer who had been involved in my county for many years, and who knew the police chief and prosecutor was absolutely crucial. Another important factor was the fact that I was proactive in starting drug counseling, and that I have a good academic standing.

and also, on the drug stamps:
the main point of the drug stamp programs have always been propaganda; the stamps are not printed in large lots and those that are printed are simply not made available for sale. it is a classic case of the government saying they have made a change in policy, while not really changing anything except the sound bite on the evening news.
add to that the fact that most if not all drug stamps are simply a means to pay TAXES on the drug, thus eliminating the IRS from your list of Feds and Staties on your butt. drug stamps, even if you could get them, and affixed them properly to your drugs....don't change the illegality of the drug. they just take tax evasion off the same table as your distribution, conspiracy, and manufacturing charges.
tax stamps for pot have been around since the late 30's or early 40's of last century....and i can't find a single case in which they have helped forestall a drug conviction.
-------------------- if you can't beat them, arrange to have it done.

Maybe it was something like this: they were charging and jailing gangsters on tax evasion charges back in the day. It was because no one would dare testify against them on the criminal charges. I could imagine a lawyer basing their defense on the argument that their was no way to pay taxes on drug money without incriminating themselves, which is protected by the fifth amendment.So they create a means by which a drug dealer could hypothetically pay, then they can charge drug dealers with drug charges and tax evasion charges as well.
Just a theory.
