First offense possession of marijuana

[JakeG]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania

I live on campus and got a knock on my door around 1am (3 hours after smoking) and when I opened the door it was campus police and a woman from the university. He asked if he could come in and I had just woken up and wasn't thinking straight so I let him in. my grinder was on my desk and my pipe was in an open drawer he could see so when he asked if there was anything in the room I told him the truth and let him search the room. He took everything and told me I'd be contacted soon and the woman from my school said the same. She said I won't get kicked out or anything serious and I'd have to take classes. I had 3 grams of marijuana, a pipe, bubbler, rolling papers, and a grinder.

Am I going to be charged with possession? Do I need a lawyer? How much will everything end up costing?

Edit: Also, if I get convicted how will it impact me? Is there a good chance I'd get my license suspended? Will I have a criminal record?

1: We can't guess
2: Yes, I would suggest one if anything comes of this
3: We can't guess

To answer the "edit" questions that Zigner did not get to:

1. If you get convicted of possession of marijuana or possession of paraphernalia, it can impact your life in a variety of not-real-good ways. Here is a link to the law: http://norml.org/laws/item/pennsylvania-penalties-2

2. A license suspension is possible, depending on facts.

3. A criminal record is possible, depending on facts.

If you are charged with possession of marijuana or possession of paraphernalia, speak with an attorney in your area.

A criminal record would have a bigger possibility, but it depends.

Are you bored tonight, Tony23?
