    Default Marijuana Possession and Unfair Drug Paraphernalia Charge in Arizona

    I was in the backseat of a car with 4 of my girlfriends. The driver decided to light up HER bowl with HER marijuana in it without me or the other girl in the backseat even knowing it and then she passed it back.. as soon as she did that a police officer on a bike rolled up and shined the flashlight in the car as the pipe was in my hand. The two other girls in the car were drinking a beer, the driver did not have anything to drink. The officer made us get out of the car and breathalized us. I blew a .05. The officer only searched my purse which contained under a gram of marijuana that was being saved for later that night in the privacy of my home. I feel like this is completely unfair, the pipe wasn't mine nor was the marijuana that was in the pipe yet I know that it was my responsibility since the pipe was in my hand. My friend did not own up to her pipe. The officers didn't even ask who's pipe it was. One of the officers asked the driver where the rest of the marijuana was and she said it was all in the pipe. After that statement is when another one of the officers went through my purse, and my purse only. The driver was not charged with anything, not even having open alcohol in the car. I was charged with under 21 with alcohol in system, possession of ficticious ID, possession of marijuana, and drug paraphornilia. Someone please tell me how this is fair. If anyone as any advice please let me know, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, do you know what penalties I could be facing in Arizona? Thank you...

    Consult a local lawyer about whether the county in which you are charged has a drug diversion program, and whether you would qualify.
