I really dont know if this is the right place for me to post this but other parts of this forum have provided me with some great advice which is really going to help me with employment and i'm just hoping someone will be able to help with my specific situation. I'll explain and see what comes of it...

2 years ago i was sent to prison for 43 months and served 22 months. I was in my final year at university and on course for a 2.1 in electrical engineering. My crime was 4 counts of possession with intent to supply. My girlfriends brother asked and paid me to carry his bag of weed into a music festival and i agreed thinking it was only a small amount. When i was going in i spotted a sniffer dog and tried to do a runner but the security guards at the gate caught me. The amount of drugs on me was significant and more than the bag of weed i thought it was.

No mention of Class A at all.

I have never been a drug user, i dont even drink. He said security would check him because he had been caught before and paid me £100 to do it. I was skint, needed the money and only accepted because it was my girlfriends brother. Neither of us knew he was a dealer we just thought he was a pothead. As for giving my family a hard time, not the case. I'm an introvert, never had many friends and always did my best at school. I mentioned this in another thread that at school i never even had a detention.

Page 2 - still no mention of Class A.

Before you pass judgement at least know the facts. 1 the drugs were in his backpack, i didn't look in it to admire his weed. 2 minimising the extent of the crime? I've sat in hell for the past 22 months accepting what i did, this is what happened and there is really no point whatsoever in me minimising it now after i've served my time is there? They weren't my drugs, the fact i did it for £100 when there was over £2000 worth of drugs in the bag kind of shows how stupid i was. Think what you want about me though, i think pretty low of myself anyway because quite simply i have nothing now and only myself to blame. I hope that has made things clearer for you

Still only mentioning 'weed'.

Finally mentions the full nature of the offence on page 3:

This just shows what you know... The maximum sentence i could have received was 7 years. It was in category 4 of possession with intent to supply. The drugs were MDMA, pills, weed and amphetamine. 20 1 gram wraps of MDMA, 120 pills, 56 grams of cannabis and 45 1 gram wraps of amphetamine.

That's drip feeding - people were posting supportive messages based on thinking it was a cannabis offence.

I really didn't want to keep this thread alive, but 4 counts suggests a lot more and was posted in the very first post. 4 counts indicates 4 different types of drugs, you cant get 4 counts from weed alone. So your own stupidity is the only crime here.

Scuffer I wish you all the best with rebuilding your life, and eventually, hopefully, your relationship with your sister and parents.

However I have to disagree with your reply above - I wouldn't have had a clue, without reading the first few pages of this thread, what your "4 counts" meant as far as severity of offence etc was concerned.

But you weren't the one who pulled him up on it - I feel Scuffer's response was more than adequate :beer:

So to Scruffer, I'd think about sending them a letter every now and then to try and build bridges. Yes, this is about right.They don't seem like they will speak to you face to face or by phone, so perhaps a letter may let them see your feelings and your side of things but don't push it too much.ditto Try and extend the hand but if they don't return the gesture then you can't make them.

I have no intention of, nor interest in, poking about to find op's i.d.
Better I get on with making lemon curd and being torn over the last 6N match instead - plenty of violence, curdling, intent to supply there.
All Ireland are saying 'In BOD we trust', I gather.
This Thread has been put to bed and Scuffer has learnt what he already knew - there's nowt so queer as folk.:D

This will be my last post in this thread.

I wrote it based on what the crime was, i didn't feel the need to have to publish everything to the finest detail. I've said from the very start it was 4 counts which is proof enough i never tried to cover anything up. If i was covering it up i would of said 1 count.

Amen to that :T

Sorry you were hounded by idiots.

Tiddlywinks, cannabis is a class B drug. Scuffer stated from the off that

The amount of drugs on me was significant and more than the bag of weed i thought it was.

This statement alone implies drugs of a more serious category - which can only be A - and lots of them.

Lets not nitpick over details, they are not important and do not change anything. OP needs help and support getting back on his feet, he didn't rape, kill, steal or hurt anyone, he just made a daft choice.

It's called a typo, as I had mentioned his name earlier. You may not have had an interest in his ID but I'm sure plenty people may have.


Best of luck Scuffer, don't rush anything to happen. Hope it all works out for you.
