Since you are a minor and assuming you are convicted of the crime that you have written about, most likely you will be fined, placed on probation and attend drug counseling as a penalty. I suggest that you and your parents consult with a juvenile criminal defense attorney in your community to assist you in your matter. One can be found on attorneypages.com.
