It depends on the past criminal record of the person arrested. If it is his/her first arrest for possession, then Indiana code states that "a person who has no prior conviction of an offense under this article or under a law of another jurisdiction
relating to controlled substances pleads guilty to possession of marijuana or hashish as a Class A misdemeanor, the court, without entering a judgment of conviction and with the consent of the person, may defer further proceedings and place him in the custody of the court under such conditions as the court determines. Upon violation of a condition of the custody, the court may enter a judgment of conviction. However, if the person fulfills the conditions of the custody, the court shall dismiss the charges against him. There may
be only one (1) dismissal under this section with respect to a person."
