Yo Pnw-cronic,
Crap dude, you want a good lawyer period and I would find one now.!!
I found this from NORML for the state of Wa.
Listen nothing is ever carved in stone, and remember the state recognises MMJ so that can work in your favor also, but get your butt in gear now. You need to get serious with this. I hope you will come out smelling like roses, and I will keep you in prayer. I firmly believe that these laws are wrong. Remember that there is also a vote coming up on this stuff also. Perhaps you can get your lawyer to stall until after the elections and this might all just be reduced to a bad dream. Let's hope that this turns out to be the case for you friend.
I think that just about everyone here will be putting out good thoughts your way bro and that ain't hay.
smoke in peace

Mandatory minimum sentence: When someone is convicted of an offense punishable by a mandatory minimum sentence, the judge must sentence the defendant to the mandatory minimum sentence or to a higher sentence. The judge has no power to sentence the defendant to less time than the mandatory minimum. A prisoner serving an MMS for a federal offense and for most state offenses will not be eligible for parole. Even peaceful marijuana smokers sentenced to "life MMS" must serve a life sentence with no chance of parole.[/FONT]
