    Default Arrested and Charged for Possession of Small Amount of Marijuana in Ontario, Canada

    Hello,

    Recently, my 2 friends and I were heading back from a camping trip in northern Ontario. We got stopped by a R.I.D.E. spot check program and they smelled marijuana in the vehicle.
    They searched our bags and found about 5-6 grams of marijuana (between the 3 of us), 2 grinders, and 2 pipes. They wrote us a ticket (notice to appear in court) in 3 weeks' time.
    The officers told us that since it is our first offense we will more than likely have to pay a fine ranging from $100 to $150, which would mean we would get a discharge and no criminal record. The worst thing about this is that the court we have to go to is 3 hours away from our home.
    Should I be worried at all? Is this a serious offense or no? Also, should I ask for the help of an attorney or no?

    Thanks

    This is a U.S. board. I suggest consulting a criminal defence lawyer in Ontario.

    If in fact you can get a discharge with no criminal record and a small fine, that sounds like a good outcome.
