Pot leads to $100 fine

Sudbury, Ontario CANADA
A Sudbury judge refused to give a former city high school student a conditional discharge for having marijuana at his school last November.
Court was told the school's principal was doing a walkabout on the school grounds when she saw Michael Poyner, 18, trying to stuff something into his jean pocket.
The something was a small plastic bag containing about $10 worth of marijuana, said federal drug prosecutor Richard Huneault.
Ontario Court Justice Guy Mahaffy rejected a suggestion that Poyner be given a discharge. Such a disposition would mean that Poyner would not end up with a criminal record.
Such a sentence would send the wrong message to those who take drugs to school, said the judge.
"A discharge here would pass a message to those with drugs at school that it's OK if you get caught because all you get is a discharge," he said.
Instead, he convicted Poyner and fined him $100.
BUSTED, HIPPIE!

True, although Michigan claims most rights, I personally claim Windsor as northern Ohio territory. Originally Posted by wicked_sick

selected for US Govt. grant.
Last week someone calls me and says that I have been selected for US Govt. grant. He asks for my social security and DOB info for verification. Then he asks for my bank account number and route number to transfer the money without any cost. Is that how securing Govt. grant really works? Can he do any damage with that info specially the bank related ones? Can you help by providing me your experience and opinion about this?
