Just curious if I can get my license reinstated early for a minor misdemeanor for possession of marijuana first offense, can I appeal to the court to get it back early? It gets reinstated in November.
In Ohio, it is possible to petition the court to have a driver's license reinstated for limited purposes IF the license was suspended by the court as part of the sentence and is not a suspension imposed by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
A license will not be reinstated early if prohibited under ORC 4510.13 (

If your license suspension was a court-ordered suspension instead of a BMV-imposed suspension, the court may reinstate your license early for occupational, educational, vocational or educational purposes, or to take a driver's examination or a CDL examination, or to attend court-ordered treatment.
Here is a link to the law, ORC 4510.021, which went into effect on September 13, 2016:

I haven't checked but I
believe your license might be a BMV-imposed suspension, which means you will have to wait to November to get your license back.
