possession
Was this your first offense? any prior criminal history? From what I understand If it is your first offense you will walk out of the courtroom paying the equivelant of a traffic ticket for the possession charge. Unless there were more charges such as trafficking or intent to distribute.In either case it will go on your criminal record. Be advised I'm not a lawyer so really am not in a position to give legal advice. However, I have a family member that has been in your predicament on several occasions. In each of his cases the punishment became a little greater with each offense. He is, as of yet, to do anything more than 30 days in jail. But did not serve time on the first offense. I do suggest that you see a lawyer,especially If there are more factors involved. This may be some unwanted advice, but If you plan on continuing to use marijuana , You should probably consider keeping it at home. Nearly every possession charge I've read about started with a routine traffic stop, over a minor violation. Now that you will have a record,you should expect to be searched any time you get pulled over. I apologize in advance if this was no help to you. You will get through this, this happens to people all of the time. Hang in there.
