    No I am not gonna give you its only weed defense, but what i am going to say is that it was almost 5 years ago and it is the first and only time I have been in trouble with the law. I feel that if you are allowed to plead out first offenders and are able to complete the program including all the N.A. and therapy the courts require then what is the problem. Basically it is like saying you have been caught speeding, you will never ever be allowed to drive again. The reason i can continue with my Tactical medic training is I am now disqualified due a first offenders plea. I cannot be Post certified. What I don't understand is the fact that I can go out and buy a gun all day long but I can not get a GFL.
    Try not. Do or Do not.

    I get the fact that you cleaned up, but thats no longer the point. You did the crime, now you have to live with the consequences. I dont care about first offender status either. That is no different than completing a 5 year prison sentence then complaining that you cannot carry a concealed weapon. It still comes back to the fact that you did the crime, now you have to live with it.

    Lucky for me, speeding tickets are a very minor thing, and I wasnt manufacturing drugs huh. I get to keep my drivers license and my carry license.

    As much as it sucks, I have to say I agree with this. I understand you are remorseful for what you did, and many people get away with it while you got caught - it doesn't seem fair. But you broke the law and were caught doing so, and the consequences had been spelled out.
