If this is your first offense, they might recommend jail time, but you may just get a fine and probation. If they can determine that you were high when you were pulled over, a DUI is possible. If you have less than ounce, it is a misdemeanor. Over an ounce is a felony. An ounce split up can be intent to distribute. If this is your first time, don't sweat it, but don't get caught again. You should never have that stuff in your car. EVER.

That is the problem with the current drug laws...they are different in every state. In Ohio anything less that 100 grams is a MM ticket you don't even have to go to court for you can pay the fine. Be in possession of a pipe to smoke it and you are charged with an M4 subject to 30 days in jail. In Indiana anything over 30 grams is a felony. You need to check your local laws and see what applies to the amount you were in possession of. Chances are your state laws are online and it will only take you a couple of minutes.

pass to courtroom (the single in MI) with enterprise evidence of the pastime furnish (letter from enterprise) and any information which you have from the college announcing you're admitted and what you would be reading and clarify the situtation. Act actual well mannered, clarify the situtation once you pass to courtroom gown appropriate. in case you do no longer very own a tournament you do no longer might desire to purchase on purely for the occation, yet do no longer take place dressed such as you will a greatful lifeless stay overall performance the two. you prefer to look as though a right this moment-laced college pupil who made a mistake in comparison to a dope who lives the area of the drug way of existence. Shave, short hair decrease, etc. If that's your first offense and you have an opportunty to coach your existence around, i think maximum judges could provide you a small great and desire you the terrific of luck. even with the undeniable fact that, in case you pass right this moment to S.C. and then get nailed for leaving the state, once you get dragged decrease back to MI, you would be in a heap of hassle.

most people dont serve time for petty offenses such as a small amount of marijuana. If you do serve time in jail, it will be because you have a prior record or outstanding warrants, but if that was the case you would have been arrested and sent to jail when you got pulled over

It all depends on what the laws are where you live. Here in NC, you would probably get a suspended sentence with probation and random piss tests. I can't see that you would get any jail time especially if it is your first time getting caught.

if its your first possession charge i very much doubt jail time depending on the state you're in i can see a max of $100 plus court cost and big reprimand from the Judge

Depends on whether you have a few joints for personal use, or pounds of the stuff for sale, or distribution.It also depends on whether the judge wants to make an example out of you, and sentence you to the fullest extent of the law. or be lenient with you.

If it is your first offense you will probally get Community Service. If you have a record expect to be serving some time!
