My cousin recently got popped for marijuana possession and paraphenalia. He had a pipe with a tiny bit of pot (under a gram) in the car. Was arrested and taken to jail...treated like a criminal (in Kansas).
Funny thing is, he's close to five years sober from alcohol! Smoking pot is something he only does a few times a year...and his arrest fell on one of those days. Talk about bad luck!
So he was put on probation for a year and forced to undergo alcohol/drug education classes. The PO told him he had a drug problem and that he 'relapsed'...even though he hasn't drank in almost five years and rarely smokes weed!
What do you all think? Was it a 'relapse' because it caused him to have a major legal issue?
(btw, he finished the mandatory classes and paid his fines...and no, he hasn't started drinking again)
