You people could use a dose of House Music
I was sad to see the awful responses you've received to your question. Some people don't understand that youth don't learn from being called stupid. First off, I want to let you know that you were smart by fessing up to this when you knew you could get in trouble for it. Very NOBLE in my opinion. (And to clear your conscience a little bit, your friends were not likely in serious danger unless you all felt the same sickness. Nausea is one of the MOST COMMON side effects of marijuana.
)
To answer your question:
1st - Expect to spend some time out of school. High Schools are usually VERY STRICT about alcohol and drugs while attending school sponsored events, especially Prom. You may even have to meet with the school board in order to get back into school. This is something very uniform across the U.S. I mention this stuff first because High School is the EASIEST, yet most important thing you will ever do.
2nd - Expect to be charged with the crime. I'm not saying you will be, but be prepared for it. They probably won't arrest you. They are more likely to try and find out where you got the marijuana. And that's where you gotta make a choice. It's commonly referred to as "rolling" on someone. Taken from "roll over," like you would tell your dog.
Essentially, they want you to roll over so they can scratch your belly to make you spill the beans. We all know how much Fido loves a belly rub!
3rd - Expect your friends that were in the limo to be questioned too. If any of them are 18, they could be facing fines for what the call contributing to the delinquency of a minor. That means, they let a minor do something they knew was wrong. The same might even apply to the driver of the limo depending on the circumstances in which the brownies were distributed to your friends in the limo.
Now, you need to understand. You CAN be charged with possession and distribution for the marijuana. The fact that you no longer had them on you physically has no bearing. You admitted to faculty of the school you did it. They WILL testify to that fact.
Another thing you need to know it you could also be charged with "failure to affix a tax stamp." Which, in all honesty, is a B.S. law that allows law enforcement to sock you with an additional charge. You ARE REQUIRED by law to pay taxes on controlled substances.
These can be purchased at your county courthouse or through most States' revenue departments. I wouldn't recommend doing that though. You'll have cops following you everywhere you go.
My conclusive advice is to tell them where you got the marijuana if that's what they want. If it's a family member or a good friend this will be substantially more difficult to do. And you may have to decided whether or not to live with the consequences. Which will most likely end in a deferred judgment. Which means if you meet specific terms while on probation, the record of your arrest will be expunged. Keep in mind the cops will still know what you did, but the information won't be available to the public anymore. Remember, you generally only get 2 deferred judgments in your ENTIRE LIFE!!
Side Note: To the Jerks on here calling these kids druggies and stupid
... I seriously hope when your teenagers deal with these things, that ALL teens encounter, and they reach out for help, they get the same treatment you gave these young people. Then you can deal with the negative psychological effects it's causes them. Maybe they'll turn out to be druggies too!! And you wonder what's wrong with the youth today.
IT'S YOU! Remember what you've done when you expect the youth of today to save your soul!
Save the children! I'm very serious about this because we expect them to save us all!
