Oh how I worry about you brother. My college persona was uber rebel and in your face drug use (statue of limitations has expired) I know you are young and I have not forgotten how I thought my tenured professors were such hypocrites for not admitting their marijuana use but a very valuable lesson I learned as a criminal defense attorney (I switched to civil law because I was too good at getting nasty criminals off) was: It's the prosecutor's job to prove the offense, it's your constitutional right not to admit guilt (5th Amendment).
so Eric, please edit your post on this thread to delete any admissions. At least don't be so specific. Trust me on this. It's a wicked world we live in. I'm extremely sensitive to the legal ramifications of honesty in this context. A dear friend from grammar school who is my age will be going to federal prison for 4 years for helping out medical marijuana patients. He's kind and good and made no money but was too honest. Please think of your wife & kids.
Everything you posted is true and factual but for purposes of internet postings, "I have a friend who is just like me and I have seen this to be true" is the way to go.
The Japanese have a saying: It's the nail that sticks up that gets hammered down.
You are a wonderful spirit, rise above the literal and see this on the cosmic plane as just another dance of Maya (Illusion) or my Catholic background: Prudence.
I realize this may sound paranoid, but even paranoids have real enemies.
