    Unhappy Misdemeanor for Possession of Marijuana and Drug Paraphernalia

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Missouri

    Last night a friend and I were each given two tickets on misdemeanor charges for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. I am 18 and live in the city of Columbia which is pretty light on weed charges, but I would like to know what I should do in order to get the charges dropped. I know a misdemeanor isn't much, but I would like to try my best to get clear of it so it will not affect college and job opportunities down the road. Thank you!

    Without knowing the full facts of your situation, there is little we can offer to help. The only advice possible at this point would be to try and get the charge reduced if possible or take the hit and try to expunge/seal the charge at a later date.

    I think the nail is pretty much in the coffin, when the cops arrived, my friend said the weed and paraphernalia were ours without thinking. He claimed possession of everything, but both the weed and paraphernalia were in a backpack that i lent him. The officer discovered the bag was mine, and we were both charged. There is a lot of evidence against us so I don't think we can just get out of it. What is expunge/sealing the charge? How exactly does the court system work for misdemeanor charges like this?
