    Angry Second possession offense of marijuana

    I was arrested about 9 months ago for possession of marijuana and given 40 hours community service and a drug and alcohol program. I literally finished up with all my court dates about a week ago and finally got all that dealt with. Unfortunatly my hell is not over yet, I just got arrested today for the same charge which is possession of under 50 grams of marijuana (in fact i only had 1 gram) I also got charged with periphanlia. Theres no doubt that i am guilty for these crimes if thats what you want to call them but i am a little nervous about what my sentnce may be. I am from Connecticut and this is my 2nd possession offense and i really dont want to go to jail. I was never recieved probabtion so i am hoping that this time i will just be placed on probabtion along with some community service hours, Would anyone be able to let me know how practical that is? or can i actually be looking at some jail time? .. what do you think is more likely to happen and worst case scenerio?

    If I were the judge, having just given you a big break and seeing you blow it almost immediately, I would sentence you to jail. (But if I were a legislator, I would decriminalize simple possession....)

    I would suggest getting a lawyer.

    i dont know if i want to pay to get my lawyer involved if he doesnt even need to be present but i may at least talk to him for some further advice.
    Not that it matters to the court but i have quit smoking weed this is why i am confident that if i do get probation i wont have any further arrests. i understand there is no use to convincing the court that i quit smoking,(Q:) but if i am sentenced jail time is there anyway to plea for a lesser sentence such as probation? I am not in any condtion to go to jail at right now for stupid pety drugs, i am opening up a business and i would loose the job i have now, is the court really going to ruin a young mans dreams and goals simply because of a few grams of weed?
    Q: honestly what do you think is most practical?
    (considering i wasnt put on probation for the first offense, i would imagine that would be my punishment for the second, is this acurate, or am I just trying to convince myself of that possibilty to ease the stress?)

    I actually know somebody that has had serveral similar charges and never went to jail, although in my case since the arrests were all within a year i am pretty nervous.

    (and for the record, this is why i hate this country. i hope they do decriminilize it like you said, infact (all conspiracy aside) i wish they would legalize it, it would decrease drug dealing and drug violence and maybe law enforcment and regular citizens would get a long better.)
