What will happen if I fail my upcomingdrug test?
I was arrested with possession of ecstasy when I was 16 years old, no prior criminal history, straight A’s in school. With the help of a good attorney I was sentenced to 6 months informal probation, 20 hours community service, and 12 hours of drug counseling. I’m 17 now. I’ve completed all of my conditions and have gotten in no trouble. In 1 week I go in for my last probation meeting. My PO likes me because I never give him trouble. I have not been tested by my PO yet, but was by my drug counselor and passed. I fear I will be tested by my PO. If I fail what are the possible outcomes I am looking at?

From your question it seems that you have concerns that you will not pass the upcoming drug test. If you do not pass the upcoming drug test, then most likely there will be severe penalties under any suspended sentence imposed upon you by the court when you received the informal probation.
You need to read carefully the written sentence that you received from the court as to the terms and conditions of your probation and the terms of the suspended sentence if the probationary terms are not complied with. You should also make contact again with the good attorney who helped you out when you were arrested for possession of ecstacy.
If you have not been using drugs since the ecstacy incident, you should not be concerned about passing any future drug test.
Good luck.
