I worked criminal defense for nearly a year, before I just couldnt take it anymore. Probation before verdict(which is what you got) is a long running trend in drug prosecutions, and is basically a scam, and a bad choice for most people.. In most cases youll wind up doing time anyway on various violations.

Cut a deal to do a little time, it will most likely be a month or so (in most jurisdictions) and get on with your life. The judge will most likely suspend the sentence anyway. Spending years dealing with nonsense simply isnt worth it.

Most people don't want to hear it though, they'll sign away their life to avoid a week in jail.
