    Default Possession of Drugs and a Vaporizer

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: PA
    I am 18 years old from NJ and dorm at my college in Pennsylvania. Earlier tonight I was hitting a wispr vape with my roommate and a friend, all 18(purchased with a prepaid debit card my roommate and I split – using cash) . We bought a dub (1 gram) earlier in the day and we smoked a little more than half of it in the vape, leaving a little less than a dime in the bag. There was a knocking on the door and we opened the door and the cop asks to come in, we wanted to make sure we cooperated so we let him in and we put I the vape away but he saw the dime bag and asked how we were burning it and one of us told him that it was a vape and we gave it to him. He asked if that was all the bud we had and we told him it was everything and then he asked me out in the hall because the bag was back on my work desk on my laptop. When we stepped in the hall he asked me if I had ever been in trouble, I told him that I hadn’t. He said that I would be charged for the bud and paraphernalia but lucky that there was barely any weed in the bag. He told me that I have to go to court and a letter will be sent to the address on my license in 4-6 weeks. Is there any way since I’m 18 that I can pay the fines and go to court without my parents finding out, this situation could be so much less stressful if I could handle that without having them go through it with me. im not sure if it makes any impact that the officer told me that we were fully cooperative and by the way i was not given a ticket or anything really by the officer he just gave me his name. Is there anything in particular i should be doing in between now and when the letter is sent to my house besides calling my parents and smoking obviously? thank you

    You are going to get the same answers here that you got on the other board.

    Yes, you might be able to take care of the charges without the 'rents finding out. The problem is if the address on your license it your parents' address, they are going to see the summons when it arrives. If you get suspended or expelled from school...well that might make telling kinda necessary.

    I'm assuming it was a typo to say "smoking obviously" and you meant not smoking. If not, no you should not be smoking illegal substances.

    yes it was a typo, I meant "not smoking" and is there something I could do to get the summons sent to my dorm address? I would much rather try to get the fines and everything paid for and then tell my parents so they can at least be worried about one less thing. If it is more beneficial for me to just tell them (if it involves me finding a lawyer with them) then I will call them asap. thanks for the quick response
