I got high (marijuana) and the police caught me after i got high. I confessed everything and they found a small amount of weed in my car. They told me i had to go to court. When i went, I had a deal with the DA telling me to attend 15 hours of Narcotics Anon and 50 dollar fine. I thought that there would be many associations like this but i was wrong. I had school and no car so i couldn't get to the court in the specified date or anytime before that (since i was at school on the weekdays and weekends they weren't open) So i recently started a job that required a background check. Everything was fine until my work told me i have to clear the weed charge or else ill get fired. I have been clean ever since i got in trouble but i am afraid to go to the police. What should i do?

Go to the DA and tell him you still want to go to NarcAnon. Then make the time.

You made a big mistake they gave you a break and you blow it .Since you didn't appear for the court hearing there is properly a bench warranty for your arrest.Best to call the clerk of the court an ask what to do as if you get stopped you could go to jail>Did you think this would just go away on it own.Know you might have some real problems.Get it taken care of if you get arrested than that's another charge against you.

You answered your own question.
" I had a deal with the DA telling me to attend 15 hours of Narcotics Anon and 50 dollar fine."
What you're saying is you had a deal and you didn't hold up your end of the bargain.
Is that about right?
Now you're upset because your work wants to fire you.
Why shouldn't they?
You admit your word is worthless and you're not trustworty.
Don't make debts you can't pay.
Only one thing to do. Go tell the judge and throw yourself on the mercy of the court. Then...Do what you say you're gonna do!
If not....It will follow you forever.

"Reefer Madness"...the Negroes are taking the white women!
What a sham. You get caught with a "dub" and look at this mess you're in. Your very life is upside down right now because of it. Get a lawyer and get it cleared up, don't believe a word the DA or whoever prosecuting you says.
That just shows you how outdated the drug laws are in this country. Alcohol and cigarettes are 10x worse than marijuana, but the government is never going to legalize it in light of their of a "War on Drugs" campaign. They claim MJ is a gateway drug...that may be true for some people and that's simply because you have to go on the black market to get it, where the dealer may try to turn you on to more profitable drugs. If you could buy it a store, do you really think people would move onto harder drugs?

Honestly, you need to take accountability for your actions. You messed up, the cops were fairly easy on you, but you didn't follow through. You'd better come clean with the cops. You may have a warrant out for you.
Go to the court and tell them you messed up. Let them know your situation. Blaming school and lack of car will not help you though. When you start placing blame on something/someone else, the judge generally thinks you are not taking responsibility for your actions. Let them know you were scared, and didn't know what to do, but you are willing to make amends.
Good luck!

Clear it, you will most likely only end up with a weekend of community service and then its cleared and you can get back to your life. Also if you have a job you can handle a 50$ fine i bet.

You prob have a warrant since you didn't complete the court ordered classes. Turn yourself in, do the time you should have received the first time, pay your fines and move on.

Buck up and face the music. You'll find most decent jobs will find out about the arrest and it will haunt you till you get it taken care of.

lets go back to the start. You broke the law and got caught
so you had to pay. Why are you Bitching? You could have gone to jail. My Opinion: Any one who uses Dope of any kind
should go to JAIL and I mean for a long while. Using dope is
STUPID.
