What is the name of your state? arizona I was recently caught at the az/ca border with less than a half ounce of marijuana. Under az state law I will probably be offered drug counceling instead of jail time. I would like to know if it would help my case if I attend drug counceling now before any litigation or should I wait?

It probably will not have any effect on your case. AZ will offer you deferred prosecution, which will consist of the aforementioned drug class, some fees, and a light probation, the successful completion of which will mean that the charges are completely dropped. I suppose taking the class ahead of time may just count for that required class so you won't have to take it later, but that's about it.
