wow 1/2 lb of pot! the cops love these kinds of busts cause they know pot heads don't carry guns, unlike heroin meth and crack dealers!
Recover means to get back. So the police had possession of the substance first?
Actually 3.10 pounds of pot!
What a shame. Hakeem could have been anything he wanted to be. He's intelligent and fun loving. There's no place for him to go but up. Hopefully this incident will help him get his life together once and for all. God's giving him a chance to change!!!
