Two nights ago a cop blocked me in as I was about to leave an elementary school around 10pm. I freaked out and my friend and I handled it poorly and long story short I got charged with possesion of weed and I have court in 5 days. I live in VA and it was less than 4 G. I had a clean record and I'm a 20 yo white male
What am I looking at?
Pic is pretty unrelated
what do you mean you freaked out and handled it poorly? What exactly happened? How the hell did you get a weed charge from this? You can't just "long story short" all the details.
Probably a misdemeanor. Any combination of a fine, drug awareness class, a short probation, jail time.
I doubt jail time if it's such a small amount that's only intended for you, and it's your first offense. It depends on the state and the judge as well.
I'm gonna bump

I was pretty high, and my friend threw a pipe under the car seat as the cop walked up.

He didn't charge my friend at all, just dumped it on me

I was on the verge while I was standing there. I do acting occasionally so hopefully I can pull it off in front of the judge
You're also looking at the consequences of having a criminal record. Those potentially could be greater than fines, probation, and jail time. Get a lawyer.

In Virginia, they often drop charges for community service or NA. Or so me mum says
A slap on the wrist misdemeanor most likely. Drug classes, fines, short probation. Depends on your state laws, but like someone else said you're gonna have a tarnished record that will show "yeah I did drugs".
Ironically, when I got my DWI. I was in court and all these people before me had minor possession charges and their punishment was pretty much nothing, but I get up there and they practically throw the book at me. Thing is a DWI is less frowned upon than a possession charge. Relative to having a record at least when trying to get a job. Because lol alcohol is socially acceptable still. Pot is getting their though but it'll still be awhile.
Quit smoking pot by the way loser.

I'm done smoking regularly now. I have a history of depression and I might try and bring that up if I can. Even the doctors in my city recommend smokin the refer.
