What code sections were cited?

The marijuana pipe is likely to have been charged under the tobacco statutes so I imagine it was PC 308(b). But, the marijuana violation can go a couple of different ways. What the penalty might be will depend on what code section was cited. Either way, fines, counseling, and community service are likely in your future. And, if mom and dad are on the ball, those things that are applied by the court will be nothing compared to the punishment you receive at home.

It depends on the specific code section. Plus, with fees and assessments tacked on to the fine, the total could be near $300.

the code for marjiuana is: 11357(b) HGS(i think its HGS, can't really read the writing)

the code for the pipe: 308(b) PC

both minor, misdemeanor, school grounds.

That's probably "H&S" for "Health and Safety" Code.

Yes, fines, probation, counseling and community service are in your future. There may be different options in your county so I hesitate to say what you WILL be required to pay or do, but while 308(b) theoretically can involve time in custody, it rarely ever does.

lol time in custody huh?. hmmm, i hope i can try to convince them really. i have good grades and i am now involved in highschool events(clubs/sports teams, etc). My parents think im going to pay $500 dollars because there was this guy my parents knew and he had cigarettes and they fined him $450.
