You know you could always just serve your jail sentence instead of dealing with drug court and probation. Just trade your time wasting and financial butt fuckings for actual butt fuckings.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I agree it's all ridiculous bullshit that I would definitely think should classify as unusual punishment. I mean, when you perform community service, you have to pay the state for every hour you work on top of the court fees, probation fees, the court ordered substance evaluation group therapy session fees, and the cost of every drug screen... it wouldn't surprise me if I've forgotten one or more other fees.
It's like, not only do you have either have to go in for drug screens during day shift work hours or night shift sleep hours as well as meetings with your probation officer during the same time slot, but you have to go to group during the same time slot every week for the designated number of sessions you have to attend. So, not only is it difficult to actually manage time-wise, but it's almost impossible to actually afford financially if you live alone unless you work a job that pays at least $16/hr. The whole program is designed for you to fail and have to wind up paying more costs and potentially serve jail time.I mean, shit like that doesn't act as a deterrent for future drug use, it just makes it all the more likely because of how fucked you are--even potentially affecting your future employment opportunities.
That's actually why I'm somewhat half serious suggesting just serving your sentence in jail. I honestly kind of wish I had just done that instead of accepting the plea agreement I did and winding up on probation. I'd literally nearly already be out by now and moving on with my life, whereas, as of this April, I'll still have a year left.
I mean fuck, on top of that the rules around here used to be that you had the entirety of your sentence to complete the community service, I've had a few friends confirm this who have been on probation before. Now though, you have only 3 months from the date of your conviction and sentencing to complete your hours, and nobody even told me this. My probation officer claims it's in the huge packet of info they gave me, but I received that and filled out all the paper work they needed after being up for court 4 hours after my 11 hour night shift at work, so even if I did take the time to read the whole packet, I doubt I would've noticed that. It took my officer until my 3rd meeting to even mention to me that it had to be completed within 3 months, and she was within her authority to give me a violation if she really wanted to for not completely any of my hours yet by that time. Like, why didn't you say something during our second meeting when I said I still hadn't completed any yet? Fuck, why didn't you go over the terms of my probation with me in the first place? That kind of seems like it would be a part of her job description, right?
So I mean, I feel ya on this man, I really do... but there's no way you're ever going to get a script for something the FDA recognizes as a nutritional supplement. They're going to tell you to buy it on your own. AFAIk legally all they can do is provide you with guidance on which supplements to choose and which you should avoid, and obviously if your officer and the police know it's a supp that can get you high you're going to get fucked regardless of whether you're using for that purpose or not. Tell the truth though... are you really trying to get a script for kratom and not use it to get high? Like, what reason do you have for needing to use it. If you just want to be able to use it (meaning you aren't taking it strictly for therapeutic reasons), even if you're not getting really fucked off it or anything, you're still taking it to get high man. I really think that you're either not being honest with us, or perhaps even more likely, honest with yourself. |
