    Exclamation Probation and Drug Testing

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan. I'm under the age of eighteen and I was wondering if I would be drug tested. I was charged with 3rd degree retail fraud, I'm not considered an adult, I've nerve been charged before and it wasn't drug related.

    If you are worried about the drug testing, I would just advise you quit the drugs now (if you are not using, you would not have asked......).

    Yeah, I'm not trying to lie about it, I smoked some weed Christmas break, and I haven't smoked since, and after I got the court letter I stopped, even though I have some. I'm just worried I might still test positive

    Get rid of what you have. Flush it down the toilet. You don't want to even risk smoking it right now.

    Next: For court:

    - 17...guess what...time to tell Mom and Dad since one of them will have to go to court with you.
    - Dress nice - suit and tie, or dress pants (or Dockers) and dress shirt. Cover any tattoos. Any facial piercings, take them out. No unusual hair colors. I am assuming you are male, so shave and remove ear piercings.
    - Don't go into court smelling like weed, booze, or even tobacco.
    - No gum. No food.
    - Have the payment for your fines with you. Or make sure your parent has a credit card and checkbook.
    - If you don't have one, get a job. That will look good.
    Your parents should get you a lawyer, or atleast a free consult with one.


    DO NOT tell the judge you have a 4.0 gpa - that means you are smart enough to know that weed is illegal....

    Thanks, I don't have any tattoos or piercings so that's no problem, but I can't get a job unfortunately.

    I think the operative would there should be "volunteer". If the judge asks, you answer.

    At the same time, I think the judge will know that you're smart enough not to be dabbling in drugs even if he doesn't know your GPA.
