You seem to have some pretty incredible misconceptions. For starters, yes, you were arrested. If you hadn't been arrested, you would not have had to go to court. Continuing that thought, you were also convicted of a crime. If you hadn't been convicted, you wouldn't have been given a sentence and "punishment."...I really don't know why you put "punishment" in quotation marks as that is exactly what your sentence is! It is a penalty for having been convicted of committing a crime. Now, it sounds like you got a deferred prosecution. So, that conviction can go away...AFTER you successfully complete all the conditions of your probation. If you DON'T successfully complete ALL the conditions of your probation, not only does the conviction stand but you are also going to get slammed with the sentence you would have received without the deferred prosecution. Meaning that whatever portion of the conditions you have already completed (community service, part of your counseling, etc.) counts for nothing and you get sentenced with a hefty fine and/or jail.

Now, keeping in mind that your sentence is intended to be punishment, it is not supposed to be painless. Yes, it is going to cost you time...that part you feel you can take in stride. And, yes, it is going to cost you money. Your choice...pay for and attend counseling or pay fines and attend jail (and live with the conviction record never going away and being disclosed to every employer you ever want to get a job with).

As for the fingerprinting...are you still high? Getting fingerprinted costs you nothing (ok, maybe a small processing fee). The only reason you have for balking at doing it is because you are feeling you are being unjustly punished. Well, you're not. You chose to smoke weed, knowing it was illegal, and took your chances anyway. You knowingly and willingly took a gamble and lost. Suck it up.

As a final little note, I somehow suspect that you're probation has a few more little conditions than just "don't get high for a year." There is probably some fine print in there about ANY unlawful behavior, maybe something about alcohol consumption, etc. If you screw up on day 364 of your 1 year probation...well, you get the idea.
