[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 127888, member: 3579"] re: McWeedy and the hard stuff.... Not happening right now, I'm certain of that. He has to do random UI's as part of diversion, and he's [B]really[/B] mad that he got a color that gets called more frequently (I think I had something to do with that, due to my conversations with the prosecutors where I begged them not to go easy on him). I know for a fact that if he dropped dirty they'd violate him within 24 hours. I know this because his PO told me that he had three revocation hearings scheduled that day because of failed UI's. When I asked what would happen, he said it would be up to the DA, but most likely would be (a) rehab, then (b) halfway house, then (c) several years probation, then (d) permanent criminal record. Of course, if he showed his arse during the proceedings and ticked them off, they could always go with "plan B", which is 6-8 months in county jail, followed by the four items above. In fact, one of the more aggressive prosecutors suggested that "a few months in the concrete hotel" might be just the thing an arrogant, disrespectful teen like McButtHead needs. So, it could go either way. But since I haven't gotten any collect calls from the jail (yet), I can only assume that he's dropping clean on his UI's. And, since he's tested at LEAST once per week, I don't think he'd do anything that could be picked up on a 32-panel UI taken by a lab tech. However, that fear hasn't bled over into other areas. It hasen't stopped him from drinking (a diversion violation), it hasn't stopped his kleptomania ([B]definitely[/B] a diversion violation), and it hasn't improved his appreciation for a family that supports him despite his repeated attempts at using a double-barrel on his feet (and ours, and anybody else unlucky enough to be around at the time). Heck, he's even graduated to group fights - two in the last week, but according to him "he was just trying to break it up". Yeah, right, and I still have some prime beachfront property for sale in southern Louisiana that's worth a fortune... Unfortunately, BBK in a past post described a "dry drunk", and that's McWeedy to a tee. He has the same friends, does the same things, goes to the same places, and acts the same as when he was a full-time stoner; only , he's not stoned. Occasionally drunk, but not stoned. However, he might as well be sucking on a hookah because he's still living every other aspect of that life vicariously through his friends, [I]sans[/I] the drugs. When diversion is over, he can step right back in and not miss a beat. That's what I think will happen, unless a conversion rivaling that of Saul on the road to Damascus occurs.
