The other day I was visiting my friend at a university but there was about 2 grams of marijuana in the room and the campus police were notified?

We were both given citations to appear in court for Possession of Marijuana and Drug Paraphinalia. It’s our first offense he is a student at the school and I just transferred from an out of state university and will be attending a community college for the summer semester. I also have a son due next month. I am very afraid and my court date is also next month. I have no idea how the judge will respond or if I should hire a lawyer. The police mentioned that it was a misdemeanor.

Given the unfortunate situation that you have now found yourself in, I suggest that you immediately consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney to rpresent you. Having competent legal counsel could lead to a resolution where you could be placed on court probation and if completed, the charge could be dismissed.
