    Default Minor Possession and Paraphernalia in New Jersey

    Hi all,

    Three of my friends and I were arrested this past Saturday for possession (under 50grams - we had about 6-7 total and 2 roaches). We also had 2 bowls, one mine, one a friend's. This is a first offense for all of us - I've nary a traffic ticket. I'm a top student at a good university - 2 of my friends are the same for their respective schools. We're pretty straight-laced kids, we just loved those doobers a bit too much. I've heard about something called conditional discharge in NJ, which seems similar to Michigan's 7411. Is there a good possibility for that? Also, how is NJ with this kind of offense? I know there will be no jail time, probably probation; my main concern is a criminal record, as my heading in life doesn't really allow for convictions (should have thought of that beforehand, oh foresight). Do I have a good shot at avoiding a record given my circumstances? Oh yes, ultimately we split up the marijuana charge, as there were 4 of us. I'm assuming then the amount we can EACH be charged with is about 1.5 grams, yes? If not, the system is doing some manipulative math with the charges. Thanks for any help. I'm 19 hitting 20, by the way, if that makes any difference.

    Get a lawyer and seek a conditional discharge, then adhere to the terms of your probation (no "dirty drops") so that you end up getting the discharge. If you do that, the effect on your life should be minimal.

    How long does this discharge stay on the record. And can employers see what you were discharged for?
