I would get a lawyer. And if it comes down to it, pay the 10k. 5 Years is a long damn time. How did they catch you?

Some useful things to know which could get you some more advice:

1) How exactly did this go down? Growing? Possession? Sale? Quantity?

2) Have you been arrested before? If so, felony or misdemeanor, and what for?


Get a lawyer and best of luck to you.

Yep get a lawyer! As soon as possible!

Really curious as to how this happened.  Did they even arrest you?  It almost sounds like the letter was a surprise to you.

well you should probibly just chill out and forget about it. The letter was probibly just a prank from your friends.

Seriously get a lawyer you idiot your court date is like a month or less away You need to look seriously at how you can get prepared for it. Even seeing where you might be able to get/borrow 10G from. Have you considered sucking dick on the street corner? Cause now's the time to give it serious consideration. No time to give us any details that would help us understand your situation, get out now and start giving blowies till you earn your freedom.

Seriously though I would not include the month of your case with the specific state you are located in in such a request for information, search engines will find it. If you want help with legal advice we will need to know what you were caught with/doing. However, you may be better off to simply speak to an attorney instead.

I can only hope this is a prank post, because if it's true and you're seriously asking if you need a lawyer... you're screwed in too many ways to count.

Get a fucking lawyer. Now.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

Go with plausible deniability.

And then jury nullification.

believe it or not this is real. i was suprised to get this in the mail because it happend at the beggining of the summer but i was busted 250 miles away (i get to drive back there for court) this is my FIRST OFFENSE. i was caught with a bag of about 23-26 grams of mooshies although on the paper it didn't say anythign about a definite amount just possesion. the penalty 5 years and/or 10,000 dollars is (i believe, and hope) maximum penalty.

HOW I GOT CAUGHT....

me and my buddies were out camping. there were about 8 of us. my friend and i decided to go hiking. when we returned at night the other 6 of them had been so obnoxious and drunk that the rangers decided to pay them a visit. sadly none of them were 21 so they all got MIPs. My friends girl friend in some attempt for self preservation decided to tell them what was in my tent...i never told her myself so i'm assuming it was my buddie who had told her. i got arrested spent the night in jail, got out and here i am some time later. (it was dumb of me to fetch the mushrooms from the tent. i now know this.)

anybody know how this will pan out? any advice is greatly appreciated

Well, 5 years and 10k is the maximum, but I doubt you'll get that much. If your record is otherwise fairly clean you can get off with probation and a hefty fine. BTW, stop partying with stupid people to avoid this sort of thing in the future.

When I was busted with several ounces of mushrooms I did a plea bargain and got 3 years felony probation, 1500 in fines,and 150 hours of community service.  Upon completioin of all this my felony was sealed/expunged.  I had also not been in trouble before this happened nor did weight factor in.  It was just possession of psilocybin.   

You most likely won't do any jailtime and your fine will be no where near the maximum.

Get a good lawyer and you most certainly can get probation since it is your first drug offence. Make sure you change friends and do not commit any crimes for a long time.
