My question involves criminal law for the state of: Federal court, District of Alaska
I was convicted of possession with intent and possessing a firearm in furtherance of it. The standard condition is not to consume alcohol to excess, but if the court finds that it helps protect the community, or aids in your rehabilitation they can impose a condition of no alcohol. I filed a motion after sentencing about it, and the judge said it would be more convincing with a favorable substance abuse evaluation, and has since been promoted to the chief judge of the district court.
the drug possession is viewed as drug abuse, however the main drug in question was marijuana, there were approximately 30 MDPV pills as well, and marijuana has since been legalized in Alaska and decriminalized in the state I reside in(Alaska still has jurisdiction). I've never had any alcohol related legal issues, never even blown anything but zeros. I had a prior case for the same thing, but with cocaine as the drug, and admitted to cocaine use, however that case was dismissed on appeal. I didn't have any meaningful, or any drug related incidents during my incarceration. I've passed about 30 drug tests and countless breathalyzers since sentencing. I have steady, full time employment.
Do I have a solid argument to make? I think it's enough of a grey area that whatever the district court says would hold up as being within their discretion, but what are your opinions?
