I'm curious as to what I should do when the court date arrives? Should I plead guilty and have this on my record? Or try and fight it? I'm not really sure as to how this works. What would be my best bet?

I'm not a kid. And I have no other criminal history or whatever. WHy would I go to prison? I could face county but prison is a little extreme.. So don't bother with a lawyer? Not even Bruce Margolin?

So I could face probation even with a medical card? That doesn't make any sense.. And chameleon140: I agree with you completely. How can it be fair to lock away people just for POSSESING a naturally growing plant. I even brought this up with the officer that charged me and he said:

Thanks to all of you for your replies. I'm going to seek a lawyer and schedule an appointment to get my med card ASAP. I guess I am lucky, I just don't believe it's fair to lock anyone up for possesion of marijuana. Thanks again. I let you know how everything goes.

So it IS possible to get your license without any documentation? Does family history help?

Wow, this blew way out of proportion. I do have legit medical reasons, and I do need medical marijuana. NOT to get me out of getting in trouble, but I was just asking to see if this would affect it in anyway. I was in no way trying to abuse the medical system. Anyway. If I do get my card...

I also suffer from the same things yet have no valid documentation. Let us know how it goes, can you still get your card without documentation? You live in OC, it should be beyond easy to get your card. I'll be heading out there soon enough to get mine. My court is also out there.

It's true man. I may be facing up to 6 months very soon, for possesion of 2 ounces. This sucks man. Why isn't anybody doing anything?

What are you talking about man? I may be doing 6 months. THat affects the rest of my life, for 2 ounces of weed. That's ridiculous. It's true that under an ounce may only be $100 fine. But wtf? 2 ounces and it becomes SERIOUS. This sucks man. I'm not lucky at all.

Well to make a long story short; I was pulled over for a broken tailight. THe cop saw an empty pill container in my backseat and claimed it was probable cause to search me. He found 2 oz's and wrote me a ticket. On the NORML website is says I may face up to 6 months and $500 in fines...

Wow this just happened to me. A cop saw an EMPTY pill container (used as a nug jug) and claimed "probably cause" then searched my backpack and busted me with 2 oz's. Now I may face jailtime by CA law. Wish I would have seen this sooner. I also DID NOT consent to a search but he proceeded to...

So what if you HAVE valid medical reasons for marijuana but not documentation? Other than family history or word of mouth? Would I be considered or not because of this?
