I know its long, but I am in dire need of help guys. I'm scared ouf of my mind.
Friday night, (May 7 2010) I was stopped by a police officer because he believed me and my friend had been smoking marijuana. We were told to exit my vehicle, and both my friends and my pockets were searched. My friend is 18 and I am 16. In my friends pockets, the officer found a 3 gram bag of K2 herbal incense (which is smoked for a high that mimics that of marijuana) and a glass pipe. My car was also searched, but it was clean.
In my state of louisiana, K2 incense (along with other brands) is sold to anyone over 18 at convenient stores, but is labled not for human consumption. My friend was given a ticket and told that he will have to go to court, and I will have to be a witness. As far as I know, no charges are being brought against me. Under pressure from the cops, we both admitted to having smoked the incense, and my friend was told that he could be charged with distribution to a minor.
Although we honestly had no idea, we were informed by the police that we were on private property, at a spot that was infamous for drug deals and prostitution.To my knowledge, K2 incense is not scheduled in Louisiana, although apparently there is a bill in congress that will probably ban it soon.
Can someone give me advice on what will happen to me and my friend? Neither of us has ever been arrested or been to court before. Will either of our parents be contacted, and will I be sent a summons/subpoena in the mail? Is there a way I could get through this without my parents knowing, and will any of this go onto my record?
Sorry about sounding so urgent guys, but if my mom finds out about this I could be kicked out of my home with no place to go. Any and all help/advice would be appreciated.
Thanks everyone.
**PS: the glass pipe in question has been used for smoking marijuana in the past, although not very recently. Is it likely the pipe would be tested for resin? Do you think the test would come back positive?
