16 years old...possession of marijuana, tobacco, and perephonilia

[thnkblue1988]

What is the name of your state? California

Hi, I'm 16 and was driving around in a gated community when i was pulled over for making a wide turn and "driving on the wrong side of the road" in doing so. When the cops searched my car they found Marijuana (less than an oz, about 2 gs) and my friends rolling papers, roller, cigars, cigarettes, as well as my pipe and lighters. I was cited for Possession of less than 1 oz of Marijuana, A minor in possession of tobacco and periphonilia, and driving on the wrong side of the road. I'm going to court in two months. Should I consult a lawyer? Also, what are the odds i will loose my license and for how long? And is there anyway to avoid the loss of license (i.e programs and such). I'm very nervous about this and cannot stop stressing. Can someone please answer my questions?

I'm sorry, but I'd guess a solid 50% of the threads on this forum contain information on marijuana possession in the state of California. Minimal searching on your part should yield you the answers you seek.

I've looked a lot and found a lot but will the other charge (minor in possession of tobacco and periphonelia) affect the other charge or largely affect what happens to me?
Also i was driving when it was found in my car...the information on the site isn't as clear as one may think.
