I'm getting off house arrest in two days

@sapphiremoon914 congratulations!

You were on house arrest for cannabis? That seems extreme. Like, are you angry? Or is it a big deal in your area of the world?

I'm in the US so, yes, it is extremely frustrating. My state specifically is one of the strictest in the country; but if I lived in any of the surrounding states I wouldn't have even been arrested. ***, if i went to a school 10 minutes away from mine then I wouldn't have even been expelled. There is no consistency here and it is so infuriating to have to deal with. I've never been arrested before, never even been suspended at school. Completely nonviolent and everyone I know has considered me a very peaceful and considerate person. I'm a stoner, sure, but a peace and love stoner who just wants to make the world a better place. It's devastating to feel so ashamed of having to tell people you were arrested for something I personally still don't even understand why it's so horrible.

Hey I know right smoking pot I don't really think it's bad thing least it's not eny hard drugs so yeah I smoke pot as well so just let us be why mess with us were not hurting enyone@sapphiremoon914

@sapphiremoon914 I'm sorry to hear you have been through this challenging experience. I'm also glad you have achieved many developments and skills from it and made it through. Always remember the good positive things you've got from this experience to transform the memory into something that made you develop in a different way.

Really unfair situation. Good reflection of your character that you’ve been able to cultivate some real positives from this experience.

Thanks, hearing that means a lot to me as someone who is constantly questioning whether or not I'm a bad person. Have a blessed day <3

I am constantly questioning that myself. I think the truth is that it is pretty rare for someone to be a 100% bad person, at least not without an explanation. Not an excuse, mind you, but there typically are explanations for any behavior. I certainly don’t think there is anyone besides a baby that never commits any sort of wrongdoing in life. In your case,( in my opinion,) you’ve not even done anything wrong. of course it may be better not to do so but it is more commonplace to have than to have not and for some it is a good thing. I hope you can unburden yourself of the morality around this issue and have as much compassion as you can toward yourself. ☮️

You're a tough one love❤️

@sapphiremoon914

I live in NY where it is legal now and I can not imagine how frustrating all of this is for just having some cannabis. I am glad that it is finally ending soon though!

This sounds like a hiccup. It will be forgotten years from now.

I have been arrested for nighttime trespassing at a bank when i was young, early 20's. I have been able to get a good job and prosper since then.
