You can zip your lips and stop incriminating yourself with the cops! Ever heard of the right to remain silent?

You need to speak with an attorney about both the marijuana and ecstasy, and whether or not the search warrant was valid.

It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

Get a lawyer, if you cannot hire one, get a public defender. All search warrants need to be reviewed by a lawyer. The police can seize any other evidence in plain view and it sounds like the E was that - but to prove you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, they have to show that you knew the pills were there and that you knew what they were. I am not sure what you told the police (stop talking w police and just say I want a lawyer), but if cousin left them there while you were out and police came before you came back, I do not see how you could know the pills were there. A good lawyer can help you develop this defense cousin does not have to admit to anything, the police have to prove you possessed the pills as for MJ, its a misdemeanor and if you have MMR card, then it should be dismissed.

You should retain a good criminal lawyer. The search warrant was probably issued because someone told the police that a person in the house was selling drugs. There are many ways to prove that the drugs are not yours, but you cannot make another person testify that the drugs belong to him and his lawyer will not allow him to testify at your trial.
