God has spoken, anon.

Your life isn't ruined until you are dead. What happened anon?

>>35105555
I have a felony marijuana charge and will be a felon for the rest of my life. Probation for the next 5 years and jail for the next six months. I'm mid-20s so basically the best years of my life are being taken away over a horrible mistake that I regret.

>>35105444
Don't celebrate too early now, anon.

>>35105709
I was in your spot. Are you still taking the charge?
Im assuing its distribution charges

>>35105709
My plan was to go back to school (already have two bachelors) to become a programmer, then move to Spain or somewhere else cool. Now I have this permanent mark that's going to make all of my hopes and dreams difficult or impossible to achieve.

>>35105747
No, it's possession. Going to take the charge

>>35105709
You can sel a felony after seven years upon successful completion of probation. So, 12 in your case. I'd get into a trade if I were you.. what about your family are you still in contact?

>>35105811
Yeah family is very supportive. Just so you know sealing is different in every state.

I think the trade idea is good advice for someone without other skills but I'm an intellectual my man, I gotta get on that programming / computer security type shit

>>35105783
Thats a low level felony, its pretty seroous but it could be a whole lot worse. Yeah your life is going to suck balls for a long, long fucking time. But marijuana is pretty minor, you didnt get distribution. It could be a lot worse.

>>35105709
are you from patchogue

>>35105852
Then what are you worried about? You still have a job right? Its one offense, not a major one, Felonies are bad enough but I dont think you are completely fucked here.

How were you not cut a deal.. deferred sentences?

>>35105709
also, i feel you. i didn't get a felony, but i have a pending dui charge. it's probably going to get dropped to a dwai, however any immediate hopes I had for getting into law enforcement are on hold for the next 3 years.

Gonna do some bullshit jobs in the meantime.

I feel you op. Wasn't it weird being addressed as a prisoner? It's like the college degree, the years of no priors, and every good act you've ever done vanished. They looked at me like how they looked at everyone else - as a criminal, not a person.

>ruined your life
>got a marijuana possession charge

I really wish middle schoolers would stop posting.

>>35105783
How much fucking dope did you have man? How did this even happen? Like, are you running around with pounds of pot on you? Maybe I'm biased but you don't even get a misdemeanor here with under an oz for recreational use.

I can't imagine a situation where you'd need to be out and about with more than an ounce on hand. Even if you WERE dealing it people don't buy that much at once.

It's totally possible to turn your life around when it seems wrecked.
It can be difficult but sounds like you'll have a few months to really think about what to do with yourself when you get out.

>>35106053
The US marijuana laws are actually much more lax than most of the world. At least these days where it's all medicinal and decriminalized. A lot of places still consider pot as Drugs with a capital D.

>>35105444
Based on the fact that you post on /r9k/, how well could your life have been going before this happened?

>be irresponsible with drugs
>"waaah my life is overrrr!!!"

try having your father die when you're 13, your mother getting stage IV cancer, having no job, no car, no friends, and living vicariously through a computer screen for the majority of your life

then tell me if your life is "over" (or if it ever begun)

>>35105709
Dude that's not shit. I have a friend doing a 30 year bid on a burglary he didn't even commit. Be thankful you only got 6 months

>>35105709
DUDE WEED LMAO BTFO

>>35105709
Watch your cornhole.

>>35106255
>waaaah waaah all i have is internet and food and a home in a 1st world country, with neetbux if needed!!!

Try living in a mud hut your entire life, eating 5 grains of rice per day and drinking diarrhea water, then having your parents get raped and gunned down in front of your eyes.

then tell me your life is "over"

>>35105753
get your degree anon, you may find some progressive HR who would see past the weed charge and hire you.

>>35106604
How the fuck are you posting this from a mud hut?

>>35106215
I come here because I feel like it's the only place people are actually genuine, even if they're robots. But I'm not one myself. I was, for a while -- severely depressed, literally no friends -- then I got normified through my only self-whatever and I haven't been depressed one day since... even with this shit going on. Very good life though, degrees, good family, traveled a lot, decent economic status, the works.

>>35106291
Cheers man that actually helps

>>35106255
My mom is dead but yeah at least I have a hottie gf and friends and I'm not socially retarded or autistic

>>35105945
Haven't been to jail yet, but yes, that is going to be weird.

>>35105890
Yeah I suppose you're right, not completely fucked. Although I don't have a job and finding one will be harder. I was cut a deal in fact, I'm not going to say more but they definitely didn't fuck me.

>>35105856
It's low level in the sense that people will be like "oh weed wtf" but it's on par with what people get for sexual assault in terms of penal code

>>35105444
1. Are you physically ill?

>>35106542
Hes just doing jail time. He isnt going to get raped. Jail is pretty easy going considering how shitty it is. The guards run the county jails. The prisoners run the prisons. Big difference m8y

>>35106705
Its the nature of the offense. It could be the same level but it wouldnt be the same consequences.. what state are you in?

>>35105709
Your life is only over if you let it be over.

At the very least you still have the option of joining the Navy or Air Force (pro-tip: don't join the army). They won't give a crap about some measly weed charge, and when you get out you will have the respect of the population and easy job prospects.

>>35106774
They wont accept felons, or prior history of offense

>I checked and kekked

>>35106705
Some jails can be kinda fucked though.. just get through classification and you'll be fine.

>>35106811
The navy and the air force might not, but the army definitely will. If the first recruiter says no just go to another one. You'll meet somebody who will get you enlisted.

If you DO get in the army try as hard as you can to get a MOS that won't get your limbs blown off or give you a bad case of PTSD. That WILL ruin your life.

>>35105709
6 months isn't really that long. Plenty of places will hire a felon if all they have is a possession for weed. Your life is far from over. But this should be a turning point for you. Stop fucking around.

Mine is fine, it's white people in some white town.

>>35106747
Rather not say but yeah your comment is still appreciated

>>35106888
I don't think that's really necessary though, right? I mean I'm a relatively intelligent guy, once I get my THIRD FUCKING bachelor's in CS and math I can't really see an employer saying 'go fuck yourself' if I can prove that I know my stuff. Mainly worried about trying to repatriate to a European country and their government saying that instead

>>35107015
Don't be a dumbass. Normies are obsessed with "supporting the troops" and veterans get to the front of the line for government positions.

>>35107043
You are incorrect, the other poster has a higher level of reading comprehension clearly.

>>35107015
It will be significantly harder, he'll be treated like a criminal, but he has training, that puts him way above most felons. He has prior references, I just cant imagine it being that bad.

>>35107047
If you have a BS in those subjects you're going to get hired, no question. It's just you won't be making nearly as much money as you could have. You'll have to take a job with a 3rd tier business or a shittier school as an instructor. You could get hired at any community college to teach math, and I don't think being a CC professor is the end of the world for a person.

Good goyim! Fight sand niggers for oil while risking getting your arms legs and face blown off, and we'll give you these handouts!

>>35107169
let's not pretend that the american old money doesn't make just much on it if not more

>>35107109
What makes you think the top tier is unobtainable? Just the fact that plenty of non-felons also want the job?

>>35106888
No. The army is not going to take someone with a felony drug charge. If a big war kicked off, yes. Right now, no chance.

>>35107047
You have two going on three bachelor' degrees?
