What can I expect if I’m 19 years old and I was charged with possession of less than an oz. of marijuana?

This is my first offense; I never committed a crime before. I just made a stupid mistake with 4 other individuals, being with wrong people at the wrong time. I am doing positive things with my life. I am currently attending college and also have a good job.

Most likely you should consult with a criminal defense attorney to assist you in your matter. You might be able to make a plea where you are on court probation, do community service work, pay a fine and if you satisfy the terms you get the charge dismissed.
