I didn't know this until today, when I received a letter stating that I HAD VIOLATED the court order! And that my conditional release had been REVOKED because I Failed to have "NO USE or Possession of non-prescribed Drugs!" They did Not put a warrant for my arrest on me... yet, but I know they will try to say I was using at my next court date, when I was NOT! What can I do now to make them believe me? If anything... I'm in Minnesota, and pot is NOT legal! I was busted with it, they took my kids away from me and the wife for 4 days, spent 5 days in jail, and put on conditional release.
On February 28th I had my first pee test. It's a 1/2 hour drive from my home, I had to go, but I was extremely nervous, and drank enough water to go, and hadn't used since Feb 20th (day I was arrested). A tester stood next to me, watching in the mirror next to the toilet, so it took about 5 minutes to pee. I was told that they usually only allow 3 minutes to "try to pee" then they make you sit and wait for a 1/2 hour, then you have 3 minutes to pee again. If you can Not pee the second time, they send you home, and you get a "Non compliant" mark against you... I wasn't going to let that happen! My test came back as THC level >200P over threshold of 50.
Still hadn't used any pot since 20th of February. My next test was on March 4th, only 4 days after the first test! That day I drank over a gallon and a half of pure (reverse osmosis) water from morning until 4pm, and was going to make sure I could pee in my allotted time of "3 minutes!" I couldn't make it to the test area without my bladder bursting, so I went pee at Cub Foods on the way, I had to get a Money Order anyways and they sell them at Cub. I also bought a 2 liter of coke to make sure I could fill my bladder again, so I could pee without waiting. I went shopping for a little while to build up my bladder again, and drank about a liter of Coke on the way to testing. I went in, my body needed to go again (Yes! ...I thought!) and so I went within the first minute! My pee was crystal clear! My THC test came back at 64P over 50...
Third test was on March 17th. This time I waited at home, I didn't drink a lot of water, just a few glasses in the morning, and waited until my oldest boy got home to watch the younger kids. (Still hadn't smoked pot since Feb 20th) I had to go at home, but held it until I made it to the testing facility! Pee came out a dingy yellow color. Test results came back as 138P over 50...
They are throwing the book at me, saying it's a felony to grow this marijuana medicine. (i started growing about a year ago, and it helped my insomnia, and kept me off cigarettes!) I'm looking at about a year in prison, and I have a lawyer, but he's not sure on how to proceed... They think I'm smoking pot again, but I am NOT! Please any help would be appreciated!
