    Unhappy Possession of Marijuana and Paraphernalia Charges

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Louisiana (Terrebonne Parish)

    I have a summons to court for possession of Marijuana and Paraphernalia, in the summons it doesn't say the amount of Marijuana i had but it was less than a gram. What is the best thing to do in this case taking into consideration that this is my first offense ever. I read in multiple websites that the maximum charges are 6 months and 500$ fine, what is the best way to get the minimum sentence or maybe bypass it in some way?

    Thanks

    You should explore whether you're eligible for a deferred disposition as a first time drug offender. From what I can see, a typical deferral in Louisiana involves drug education or treatment, and a period of probation during which you are expected to abide by the law and can be tested for further drug use.
