    Default Marijuana Possession and Paraphernalia Charges

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Kentucky. Ok so I am a 19 year old from Kentucky and posted a picture of some weed and 2 pipes on twitter, no person was in the pictures. Someone complained and said I had marijuana and paraphernalia to the police after seeing the pictures I posted and 2 state troopers came to my house and asked if they could search my room. I just said yes because they were standing by my mom and were standing at my bedroom door already in the house and I figured my mom had already talked to them. All they had was a picture of the pipes and some weed and a complaint from someone that saw the picture, but nothing else. They didn't find anything that was in the pictures, all they found was a home made water bong with some ash in it that they had no pictures of or any knowledge of me having. They charged me with a paraphernalia charge that had buy/sell written beside it and possession of marijuana im guessing because of the little burnt weed ash that was in the bowl. They found no pot and only took the bong as evidence. This is the first time I've ever gotten in trouble with the law and will be my first offense. I would just like some help on how to go about all of this and what are the best possible ways to fight it and have the best outcome of the situation and what is the worst thing that could happen to me? Please please please help me out I have no knowledge of what I should do or prepare for, thanks! My first court date for it is on the 15th of January btw so help before then would be super awesome.

    You can consult a local lawyer about possible ways you might receive a deferred sentence as a first offender. Stop smoking - you can anticipate being drug tested during probation - e.g., by convincing the prosecutor to drop the paraphernalia charge and to proceed under Kentucky Statutes Sec. 218A.14151 on the simple possession charge.
