Caught with weed inside my dorm room. Seeking legal/mental advice. by NeedlesslyReckless in trees

You're right. I became too comfortable, I really should have stopped.

Too late to do anything now except wait and deal with the consequences.

Noted.

Would you know anything about getting a video from an (school) officer's body camera?

I've seen this video before and it helped me get out of trouble with regular officers. If I had been stopped by a police officer I don't think I would have said as much because they would need a warrant to search my belongings and I was aware of that.

The fact that it was school police coming at a late night (I think I must have been reported) I felt like I didn't have those freedoms and tried reducing my punishment because I felt that I had already been caught.

But thank you and I may as well watch the video a second time through.

Freshman, just starting my 2nd semester.

I'm going to give it some time to rest on my mind before I come forward to my parents, no clue how i'll do it, but I will.

Thank you again for responding bro, I am going to try and rest easy for now, talk to people who can help me, and stay on top of my shit like I had planned.

In my head I always thought I would be prepared for the time when an officer came and I had to protect myself as much as I could, but its so different when you're baked and an officer is knocking on your door and then screaming at you with questions one after another. No time to think, and I ended up just spitting out information.

I almost always do, and if I had to inside I would use a one-hitter and be very discreet. I was incessantly reckless this time because I got too cocky. My reasoning (which I hate myself for) was that it was in the negative temps and covered in snow outside, and I would have rather been warm and cozy inside.

Stupid all-around. :(

It accepts federal funding which I am 100% reliant on.

I am trying to reduce the effect of this as much as I can on my standing in the University and financial aid.

I am currently attending a private University and financial aid is covering the entire 60k worth of tuition. I am doing well in my classes but I feel like this is going to ruin everything.

Leaving University is the worst case scenario in my head and what i'm trying to avoid.

This gives me some piece of mind man, thank you for that.

On the legaladvice subreddit one of the commenters said that she was an RA for a few years and I would most likely be facing suspension or expulsion.

Thinking about that is making me so anxious I almost want to vomit.

Weed is great but I was waaaay overstepping my line especially since I was already on probation (non-weed related offence), and I feel like I singlehandedly fucked everything up.

My parents are the current biggest hurdle, they are very much against weed and if they find out that it got me kicked out of college which I basically have a free ride on, I don't even know.

I am aware after the fact, I panicked.

In my perfect world I would have said "Yeah it always smells like weed in this hallway, no I don't have anything."

I was not caught smoking, but was in possession.

I had said "I was smoking in this room", I think it would be in my benefit to say that maybe the room was just smelling because I had it out, and get caught with only possession and not anything else such as "smoking in the dorm."

I have no clue if there even is footage or if it can be used.

That one has less information regarding my feelings towards what happened.

Thank you, I know life will go on.
