Well I will say from my own situation. Yes. Not this does depend on a few things. Like if the cop seen him smoking it. If its a ticket for possession or for using it in..cause the cop seen him smoke it. I was outside a bar with a friend. Was his pot and bowl. There was a undercover cop car in the parking lot. Long stort short we got busted. He got a ticket for the bowl and a citation for the smoking of it. I got one for the smoking of it. Since the cop wrote it for "drug abuse" vs possession it went from a simple citation to a Minor Misdemeanor. The latter of the 2 does show up on my background check AND has stopped me from getting a job at a local Walmart..lol. Now its been 5 years and I can get it expunged but to answer your question...YES depending where you are and local laws it may be on there. Good Luck. I suggest you contact the local NORML chapter they can help...I know they helped me. I am doing the expungement myself..not lawyer and its saving me $300. All I have to pay is the $100 filing fee. Actually VERY VERY simple. Here is a link to information about NORML:http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Organization_for_the_Reform_of_Marijuana_Laws Here is a link to NORML's main website.
