How did your arrest for pot use or possession effect your life?

I am targeting this question to victims of pot prohibition, so if you were arrested for the possession or use of marijuana, then please share your experiences with the ordeal and how it effected your life. What has been taken from you? What restrictions do you have in your life by law? How do people see you now? What do you think can be done to help you get your life back on track? The more details you provide the better.
