mikejones,
don't pay any attention to those who are just looking to make themselves out to be better than you. I admit your post was a little hard to read, but don't let people put you down. The last thing you need is to be more depressed.
I believe everyone here is in agreement that you have to get the money for court. I know it can be hard when you don't really have family who is just willing to fork over cash for you, and if your credit is screwed up, you probably can't get a loan. Just keep thinking, and hopefully you'll come up with something.
I'm sorry you had to go through all this, too. Marijuana is a touchy subject with me, especially since some states have unusually harsh laws against it, and some just give a simple fine like a speeding ticket. I think some states are beginning to realize that people smoking marijuana don't generally smoke it and rob people or beat up their wives and kids. Well, I guess maybe if they have to pay a big fine or go to jail, they might rob someone, but that is obviously a terrible choice and very illegal. I smoked for a while, years ago, until I realized that it will get you in trouble and is very bad for your lungs.
So, what you need to do is save every penny you have. Don't use your money to buy marijuana as you know how expensive it is! Instead, go to your local library and get some books to read. It keeps your mind off bad things like pot and court dates.
