I accually did this a year and a half ago and got arrested. I was wondering what you guys thought about this. I got put through hell. I am 18 and a half and am still suffering because of it. I should be saving money for college but they slap a huge fine on me($1685), of which I am still paying off, for one plant growing in my room under my fluresent lamp along with my other plants(peppers, jade plant, assorted cacti, snake plant, english ivy, and some peruvian goldenberrys). Oh yeah I am going to study botany in college. I was growing the plant out of curiosity mostly although I have to admit to using the herb several times before. The core of the question is the laws against marijuana have caused more harm to me than the use of the drug ever did? Is this right? Also shouldn't I be the boss of what I choose to put into my own body? The laws and probation still can't control my use, of which I have used while on probation, so why do they try so hard to ruin my life?
Answers:
I do agree with you that you should be able to do whatever you want in your house and in your body, but it is against the law. No matter what we think, it is illegal. You need to obey the law or pay the price. Go to Amsterdam!

Is that true or is the pot-addled wishes of an 18-year-old who doesn't yet have the wisdom to understand the future repercussions of your choice? For me it was the latter & took me nearly 20 years of failure & problems to finally come to that conclusion.

I do understand you're point of view. you were doing something illegal before college. But now you can't go to college because of the fine. If the government didn't follow through with the punishment you would go to college and be normal, OR you would continue breaking the law.
