Just curious whats it like after getting busted, and having to do time, whats it like for growers on the inside? This goes for both Canadian and American jails, I know there is a big difference....

it sucks, as long as you are able to stand up for yourself and don't ever get into debt for ANYTHING it's the same as anything else,all in what you make of it. Be prepared to lose everything you have as far as material possesions and you will REALLY know who loves you by the time you get out. If your not single and your sig. other has a sex drive at all kiss them goodbye too. Time kind of comes to a standstill inside,the day in day out routine never changes while outside life goes on as always. Try and remember that as your "friends" fall by the wayside and stop taking your calls or writing back. I thought visitation was the worst, very hard to watch the ones you love go through the process. You can make some good come out of it,truly is a reality check right on the chin though.

#1 complaint I hear from those inside is sheer boredom. Sucks double if your halfway smart. Cant play bridge when all the cards are being used for go fish.

So basically if you stand up for yourself and can keep yourself occupied you can get through. In Canada we dont have nearly the jail time of you poor american growers, most Canadians will get house arrest, I've been told by security mod's. I couldnt imagine facing 10years + for beign a grower in the states, its scary!!

I'm just trying to get some insight into the jails, and what its like on the 'inside' and to stay safe if put into jail, dont want to have to worry about things...(I think the show "Oz" put some ideas in my head...)

What? That maybe if you had one of those gravity defying wheelchairs that addabesi would leave you alone? Theres plenty of books on being on the inside that offer a less holloywood version of prison.

that would depend on location and individual. some have no probs others do. i have never been busted for pot but i have done a few rounds with the courts/jails .i beat both big cases and learned my lesson. if you got heart and dont let nobody fuck with ya and stay out of bullshit you shouldnt have a problem. if your a pussy well hope you aint got nothing they want. jail can be a culture shock to some

what the hell could you have in prison that others would want? besides anal virginity

It does not matter how long your sentence is. There are only 2 days: The day you go in and the day you get out.
