OK, so I'm sitting on about 1/2 pound of personal smoke. Never intended to ever sell any, but I have all this weed, and my "buddy" who doesn't even smoke tells me he needs $500 for a lawyer to get a DUI dropped. Its a longer story but that should suffice for now. After some thought, and begging on his part I say OK, I'll give you 4 ounces, and you give me half of what you get for it. Should have left him with plenty for the lawyer. He had a buyer lined up. I don't know this person but don't really care who it is. He tells me they are "cool".
Meanwhile, I'm browsing HTG for a new light for a new setup I'm planning to buy with my newfound money. Little did I know it was never to be.
Next day he calls and wants another 2 ounces. I think about it, and figure I have some plants with a month to go until harvest. I say OK, but thats the last, and thats IT!
Since he had my scale, I package up some, get to his house, it turns out to be 3 ounces. I leave his house because he wants to call the guy to come and pick it up and give him our money.
Guy comes, gets the two ounces, minutes later the sheriff and 90 cop cars pull up with a search warrant already in hand. They grab the money, and the remaining ounce and take him to jail.
I hear about this happening, and don't know whats going on. Or if they know about my role in this so pull my plants and tear down and move the equipment out.
Next morning, my buddy is still in jail facing two felony counts of trafficking in marihuana, $25,000 bail on each count.
At his arraignment the judge drops the $50,000 bail down to "release on personal recognizance" pending trial. Fucking good news because I thought he'd be there for months because of the high bail.
Now his lawyer is telling him he can get it dropped down to simple possession, a minor misdemeanor because of entrapment.
We will see. First appearance is on the 19th. Coincidentally about a week after I have to report to jury duty in that same court house.
