The nightmare came true. 4:30 am, I just happen to go upstairs in my house for a beverage, when I see a cop at my door. He sees me so I cant turn and go back downstairs.
I had 6 plants growing in a closet in my basement. I went to the door and hoped it was for some other reason, I answered the door and the cop says that he is responding to a 911 call and needs to come in and look around. I say everyone is sleeping, and that he need not come in. He is persistent with his questions, and tells me that sometimes a messed up phone line can accidetally call 911. I try to explain that our phone line may be messed up and that everything is ok. He then says, is that marijuana I smell?
I immediately go into defense mode, and reply "no". He flat out asks me, do you have marijuana in the home? I reply no. He says its policy that he must walk around my home at 4:30 am in response to the 911 call. I ask" Do you have a warrant?" He replies with "Do I need one?".
He then tries to calm me down and says... "now listen, Im not gonna care if you have a lil pot in the house."
I was so paranoid that I gave in, I said yes sir I do have pot. He then came in and said, now if you have plants growing its a different story. I figured I was already in trouble and he will for sure find my plants which were easily seen if he walked into the basement. So I complied and followed every thing he asked of me. He found all of my pipes and smoking devices, called for backup and took me off to jail.
I was released later that day due to a warrant pending...
Im 22, I live at home with my mother, and grew pot without her knowing, and am worried what will happen, this is my first offense for anything.
I know I will be arrested again and charged with some type of cultivation or manufactoring charge.
I just wanted some free smoke. I never planned on making any profit. Im new to growing, in fact, im new to smoking too, but since the death of my father in Feb. I have smoked almost everyday to cope with the pain. Now Im in some deep shit. Please help, what do I do?
Also, can anyone tell me what is my most likely punishment?
