>> I think most get a good lawyer and get their records quashed or expunged or something after a few years. This is an option in some places. But according to Judge Jim Gray, that really isn't the same as having a clean record. It isn't something I know about. The real downside to it, imo, is that it puts kids who want to smoke a little pot in contact with people who are also selling Oxycontin and Fentenyl. A 9th grade girl who lived in our neighborhood, when my kids were in school, came home from school one day and told her mom she was going to take a nap. She never woke up. She had purchased from a drug dealer a "horse tranquilizer". Unfortunately, it wasn't packaged with the instructions that said, "NOT FOR NINTH GRADERS." When you buy pot from the same person who sells junk, it is a very small step from one to the other, even for 9th graders.
