Notwithstandng any law to the contrary, any person charged with possession of marijuana less than (misd) imprisonment not to exceed one year, 1000 dollar fine or both. This is for the first time.

If this is your first, try to get a deferment be placed on probatiion...... realizing if you do get this deferment you will have to attend classes. You cannot violate probation, drug test etc.. If fullfillment of terms and conditions court will discharge the person and proceedings against them. Violation of terms and agreements, the court may enter an adjudication of guilt and proceed accordingly.

If you are an adult then it stays forever. In some states if you were aquitted or found not guilty or it was stetted you can look into expunging it (in GA they now call it record restriction) from the record. I know here in MD they charge 30.00 to expunge which means it is removed from record.

However if you were found guilty then sorry it is there forever.

There are no set punishments for crimes. It depends on the particular case.

In Georgia, misdemeanors carry a maximum of 1 year confinement and $1,000 fine.

Do you need to have a clean record to be a teacher?

It depends on the school district, charge on record, and whether or not you were convicted. I myself have a possession of marijuana and paraphernalia charge, but I pleaded not guilty and the charge was dismissed. I had to perform a few hours of volunteer service. I have been hired in 3 school districts as a teacher. The key is to be open and honest about the charge when an employer shows interest in you.

Unless expungement (removal) of the charges was part of the original plea agreement, it is unlikely that the charge can be removed from your record. Even a pardon from the governor will not remove the charge from your record.


Can you join the National Guard if you have a marijuana misdemanor?

It'll depend on how recent it was usually, but a misdemeanor marijuana charge probably won't keep you out of the Guard. I've known people who've gone active duty and have gotten security clearances with a weed charge on their record. The person who can give you a definitive answer, is the National Guard recruiter.


What can be the charge of having a bag of marijuana with at less 2 gram of marijuana in it and being your 1st offence ever?

Your charge would be possesion. It does not matter whether it be your first offense of your third, you still have marijuana present. If you are polite and nice to the cops and such, than your charges will prob be dropped. if you live in the states it would be way worse than in Canada. you would definetly get charged with possesion in US but its about 50/50 in Canada. I actually got cought with 3 grams and a scale about a month ago, i went to court and i have to complete a marijuana education program and then the charges will be dropped, but i do live in California, which is pretty leanient on the issue of marijuana in general, anyways gl in court man, don't stress about it, its honestly not a big deal, even if the charges do stick, its only a misdeamor I live in New York and know you usually get charged with UPM (Unlawful Possession Of Marijuana) Which is not even a misdemeanor so a fine or ACOD is what you might get. See Here For ACOD What is an AC -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nikkisixsixsix: if you live in Canada the maximum charge is 6 months prison or a $1000 for thirty grams or less. Since its you're first offence as long as you explain that you are sincerely sorry and don't want a record usually you will be able to get away with a fine or diversion program, which might be some concelling or community service that sort of deal.
