conv: My son had court last week.  He is 18 and got a possession of marijuana charge and driving while suspended.  It was so nerve wracking to see him go in front of the judge and not knowing what they will do him. He was originally suspended at 17 when he again got got with a little bit of weed.  They have a law here in missouri called 21 and under law.  Automatically get suspended for a year if ur a minor in possession. That can ruin a persons life. I know it can which is why I was so worried at court.  THe judge looked at him and said son you need to hire you a lawyer.  I  throw people in jail for things like this. That is such a mess.
