Busted with weed and XTC

I go to college, and last night I was busted smoking weed in my car on campus. The tin I carry around for my weed and paraphanalia also happened to have two hits of Xtc. I totally forgot about it, but the cops found it after i told them there was nothing else in the car. I just got bailed out an hour ago. I got thrown in jail last night at like 1. I have to appear at court on wednesday but the only charge on the slip is for a class D the marijuana. Does that mean I'm only gonna get charged for that? Or does it mean i have to appear again for the mdma? What else could happen? Someone help, cause I'm a little nervous and I just wanna know what's gonna happen to me. thanks in advance.

Sounds like your only going to court for the pot.

The other thing is that the cops said they had to wait to get the xtc tested on monday to make sure it was xtc.

they have to send the x to the sbi for chemical analysis. When they have verified that it is indeed x they will lob some more charges against you. Two Easters ago something very similar happened to me. I plead to a bunch of lesser charges and received 6 months and 5 yr probation.

but i had copious amounts, infact a rather large amount of shrooms, I swore up and down they weren't shrooms. They could only charge me with the other stuff until they got the results. It saved me huge money on the bail bonds. Probably like two thousand dollars.

He should be able to finish college unless he is on student loans or in law school. I go to college and the effects weren't adverse to that condition, other than the obvious, the time in jail and the social life that was impeded upon because of prob.

"busted smoking weed in my car"
how many times have i heard that one?
when smoking pot in public in america:
1. bring no more grass than you're going to smoke, and use a joint or throwaway pipe (apples work well) so that you don't have to carry stuff around after you smoke. if the cops do come up on you, you can quickly get rid of anything. i once had to eat a joint when a bike cop snuck up on us and "smelled burning marijuana". we got searched, but he couldn't do anything. it was great.
2. don't smoke in your car. jeeze. cops pay more attention to cars. they can search them very easily and they don't buy you any privacy. it has a license plate on it that may as well say your name and criminal history. you can also get a DUI for it, even if you're not driving.
the consequences are going to depend on what county is prosecuting you and what school you go to. you could get probation, you could get jail time and expulsion. more charges for extacy possession are on the way. you need to get a lawyer.

it depends on his prior criminal record of course...if he's never been convicted of anything he'll probably just pay large fines and get a year or two of unsupervised probation. maybe some community service too...
just get a lawyer and get that mdma charge knocked down to a misdameaneor.

That is only half true.. The other half depends entirely on the judge and the availability of space in the local jail.
I would start calling lawyers in your local yellowpages and start asking them questions.. Look for ones that advertise criminal and drug charge specialists and ask for a free consultation. Find the one you like and do everything he tells you to do.

This is the first time I've ever been arrested including as a juvenile. I've never been in trouble with the law before. What about the court appointed lawyer?

> What about the court appointed lawyer?
You get what you pay for. Most court appointed laywer's will recommend that you accept whatever the DA offers... they care about lowering their work load, not about helping you get a good deal... for the most part.
Edit: With no prior criminal record, you should be able to get off with a suspended sentence. Basically, they will keep an eye on you for a few years and if you don't do anything bad, then everything will be completely forgotten as if it never happened. Of course, if you screw up during the suspended sentence, they toss the book at you. I didn't drive for three years because a single speeding ticket would have landed me in prison for 21 years... but my record is now clean and doesn't even show an arrest. (I had to file some additional paperwork after the 3-year period was up to remove the arrest from my record.)

i got arrest the first time also but for possession of worse. I took the court appointed attorney and my friend who was the co-defendant paid 2 grand. He is doing drug court I am just on a year probation and then after that the charges are dropped. Your first offense is never treated like a second or third. They hope this one time is enough to teach you a lesson.

let the lawyer be your words, the thing is, if you have a good lawyer you never have to say shit to the da or detects. Dawg its two hits of x, man get a fucking lawyer and tell him the truth. Do what he says and you should be fine. Don't however go blabbing your fucking mouth of to some detect cause they scare the shit out of you. You have rights, know them. you will be fine. Unsupervised probabtion is probaby all you will receive, that some community service and a fine.
GET A LAWYER

Yeah that's why I wouldn't open my mouth every time the cops asked about the X. I wasn't really sure of my rights, but I knew I didn't have to talk to anyone without a lawyer. The cop said if i told him where I got it he would throw it out and just charge me for the weed. Could he have really done that? I wouldn't have narced anyway. Just curious

if like a dummy you decide to go without a lawyer, get everything in a binding written agreement. Without one you will be fucked, and no a cop can't do shit. The only one who can offer pleas are the da and his assistants. You haven't even been charged with the x yet, relax.
Get a LAWYER, DONT TALK!
