It doesn’t really matter whether or not pot SHOULD be legal. At the time you possessed it, it was NOT. When we choose to break the law, we choose to bear the consequences. Like protesters who are willing to go to jail for holding a sit-in or trespassing onto private property to make their point. Maybe pot should be legal, but hey, what’s the point of stopping at a stop sign in the middle of the night when you can clearly see that there is no other driver anywhere around? Their isn’t, except that it is the law, and not stopping means the risk of a fine and points on your license.

The only way you are going to succeed in life is to drop the chip off your shoulder and stop complaining about laws you feel are stupid or the fact that you think you got a bum rap from the school. It happened - and you were VERY LUCKY not to have been sent to court. Focus on that positive note. You have a fresh start, even though you are starting from a crappy position.

Go to a CC ( and, yes, you will have to always report the expulsion) and make the most of things. Don’t join the military unless you really want to serve - unhappy enlisted people are the bane of people who truly want to be there.If you go in resentful of why you have to be there, or having to follow rules that you don’t see any point to (like the pot legality) you will be miserable and risk dishonorable discharge which would really mess up your life.
