Those that have done time refer to it as college. It's a great place to make contacts, learn new criminal activities, toughen up and learn the finer art of crime.

Florida has some pretty harsh drug laws. Chances are he will do some time and then be let out on probation. Most people that I know that have been on probation manage to violate probation and end up back in jail and then the whole cycle repeats when they are let out on probation again.

Once you are in the legal system it is very hard to ever get on with your life.

Sounds to me like you called the police on your son out of anger and frustration with him. Guess you have shown him not to fuck with you now.

Yep.

Jail isn't rehab, the system is unforgiving, and he'll wear this mark for the rest of his life and it'll be a constant burden to him. Just something I'd never do, especially over some

He's young has time to change in jail if he wants. I talked to his attorney today he said their are programs avalible to him. It's up to him to take advantage of them.

I wouldn't turn him in over some pot either, if he was smoking it and not selling it. There is a big difference between the two.

Because he was taking away from the pot fairy and providing it to those that the pot fairy didn't think deserved it???

Could you explain this to me please? Where do you think the weed that is smoked comes from?

I'm sorry but I don't see the difference between a bartender or the clerk at the liquor store or the person at 7/11 selling cigarettes, beer, and wine.

Don't give me bullshit about it being illegal.You sell porn and just like pot it is illegal in many places as is liquor. IMO pot is far less harmful then liquor or cigarettes. Maybe you son can turn your ass into the holy rollers on obscenity charges.

Good thing that you are rich because your son is going to need a shit load of money to deal with his legal mess that his loving mother has given him. Not like all that money couldn't have been used for other things… like to get your son some help… if he even needed help for his pot indulgence.

Wow Cleo that is a really stupid question. Anyone that smoke pot buys it from a dealer. So your telling me cause you smoke pot you would also sell it too? Or IF you happened to have an 18 year old and he/she was selling pot and pills you would say oh it's ok, go out on the streets and sell your pot. You will be safe and no way you can hurt doing that???????? He was selling to his friends many of them are not even 18 but I suppose that's ok also. I have said before I have nothing against pot, but when it's your child smoking and selling it you would feel mighty different!

Rich nope I'm not, mainly because we have spent a lot of money since his first arrest in Jan on counseling, so don't say I didn't try and get my son help. Not for pot either, I put him in counseling so if he had problems that I did not know about at the time he would have someone who is trained to help him out.

Why you are so angry and lashing out at me I don't have a clue. You have no kids, have no idea what it's like to be in my shoes, never will. I always had a lot of respect for you since joining here. I really think the way you worded your post was an insult to me.

Oh and by the way, sure he can turn as you put "his loving mothers ass in. Yep he sure can if he wants I'm not worried about anyone coming out here and looking at my files. And you worded it right as far as loving mother, I love my kids more than life itself, you don't agree with what I did Cleo that is fine. But you have no right to attack my love for my kids, I have hardly slept or eaten since this happened. My kids are the most important thing in the world to me, and it's my job as a mother to try and protect them.

Sue,

Many times I have thought of joining this thread and many times I have stopped myself.

You have made a very difficult choice and I hope, in the end, it is the right one for you and your son. It is likely the hardest thing you've had to do in your life.

I know others are verbally beating you up but I will not judge you. I just would like to say that my thoughts are with you during this very trying time.

Peace to you.
