What is the name of your state? Maine

I just recieved a summons for posession of marijuana last weekend. However the officer never asked me to sign the summons saying I promise to appear in court. That isn't some loophole that could get me out of it, is it?
It probably isn't I just figure it was worth checking to see if anyone knew.

sorry but the summons is legal. You can try and test whether the summons is legal by not going to court but I am sure you know that would not be the smartest move on your part.

ok thanks for the info, on a related note, if when you go to court for a marijuana posession charge, do they ever give you a drug test?

Each judge is different so there is no way to answer that question. I have seen them not and I have also seen them base your punishment on the fact of if you could pass it or not. If your doing drugs take your punishment because you deserve it.

it might become part of your sentence that you undergo random or weekly drug testing.
