I made a meeting with them and they asked me about the day and I told a story

Then I got the punishment:
I have to write an essay about what I learned from the experience
I got a disciplinary warning (no probation, even)

I hope my other friend doesn't get in too much law trouble, though.. we'll just wait and see

Write an essay? Is this fucking 6th grade? lol

Update your original post too with this post, and then change the topic summary to "update" or something.

Personally I don't see the point in losing control of myself, but that's me. As long as I don't have to smell it I don't care.

Short term memory loss. When you no longer have enough brain cells working to produce a thought like "You think maybe we should go behind something, you know, like try not to be seen by a hundred people, or something?", its passed time to quit.

I've never smoked pot once. WTF is wrong with you pople who can't find any better way to spend your time than under the influence?

do you also not drink booze, smoke cigs, drink coffee, soda.......

No booze for the same reason as no pot. No cigarettes because 1) they're pointless and 2) they're extremely harmful. No coffee cause I never started drinking it "because everybody else was". Soda sometimes.

Why?

If you have never smoked it how could you know if it is awesome or not?

Have you ever shoved an 8 inch knife up your ass? I've heard it's awesome, try it!

There is a difference you retard, nobody would ever tell you that stabbing yourself in the ass is awesome unless they were trying to get you to hurt yourself. Most people that smoke weed feel that it enhances their life. Good try though.

lol owned.

It's not like drinking. You don't "lose control of yourself"

but have a 1.3 common sense GPA.

That's what I was getting at. Your 3.5 GPA won't get you out of drug charges and a ding on your record.

"Hi, I'd like to apply for the job you're offering."
"Oh, you have drug posssession charges on your record? No thanks."
"But my GPA!!!"

Smoke inside. Go outside. Never failed me. If you have to smoke outside, use something a little less obvious.

For those idiots who generalize all pot smokers to be stupid: You don't know shit so fuck off.

I bought a new bowl the other day and I went with two friends to smoke it outside. We sat on the curb behind our dorm and packed it then lit up the first hit (me)...
I passed the bowl after a very mild hit and moments later a bike cop comes riding up to us from the darkness a far distance away
My friend placed the bowl behind him and the cop stopped and asked what we were doing. I think we replied nothing and then he asked what he saw light up. The first thing I could think was to say that we were smoking a black and mild, which a case of was in my pocket. He asked where it was and I said I had finished it and tossed it. This conversation was like two seconds...

Us, being idiots, had a ZipLock bag in front of us with literally a tenth of a gram in it (yes like nothing, but still visible)
He shined his light on it, at which point we were screwed/obvious what we were doing. He shined the light all around us and saw the piece, grabbed that along with the bag.


He then called for backup and another cop arrived. They took our license numbers, campus ID numbers, SSNs, phone numbers, and asked the other two kids their weights.

The bike cop said he saw me smoking the bowl and that we could all be held for possession since we were within arms reach of it.

He pulled me aside first and asked my involvement. I was really unsure if I should have said anything or what... I kinda said that it wasn't my weed but that the clean new bowl was mine (I was kinda dodging the question, asking a lot of questions of my mine like punishment and stuff)
I then went back to the curb and my other friend (who hid the bowl behind him) was pulled aside. Apparently he claimed full possession of it, so that we would not face any charges (it originally was his weed) because that it what the cop told him... The third kid did not get questioned I don't think

The cop gave us his card with the case number on it, said he would call when anything happened. He said they would mail something to our home address, and inform us when doing so.
Then they just let us go.


OKAY so now my questions:
What should I do in this situation?
I have heard before that if you get an underage or something you should call the police officer the next day and like talk to him/apologize?

What legal trouble am I looking at? Is this like peeeeermanent? Will I put this on every application for the rest of my life?
Am I going to get in any trouble even if my friend did take all of the blame? How will that all work out?
What are the possible outcomes?

EDIT: Currently in PA if that matters

UPDATE1 (3 days later):
Just an update, the cop hasn't contacted me or my friend that took the blame yet

Think we should call and ask about our case (he gave us the like report number on his card) or just ignore it and wait or what?

UPDATE2 (December now):
A few weeks ago, my friend who "took the blame" got contacted by the courthouse/police and went and got a mugshot and scheduled a court date
Then me and my friend got contacted by our school's Judicial Affairs
I made a meeting with them and they asked me about the day and I told a story

Then I got the punishment:
I have to write an essay about what I learned from the experience
I got a disciplinary warning (no probation, even)


I hope my other friend doesn't get in too much law trouble, though.. we'll just wait and see

Slap on the wrist, as I expected.

Congrats! Go smoke a bowl to celebrate. :laugh:

If you're going to be smoking on campus get a vape it doesn't set off the fire alarm and a quick shot of Ozium makes the burned cheez-it smell disappear.
