    If this is your first offense, you will likely be offered a program for first time offenders ( I can't remember the exact name of the program at the moment), but it usually requires community service, a fine and maybe a class about the dangers of drug use. If you're that worried, though, hire a lawyer. A small case like this should not cost too much.

    Good luck.

    Your license may get suspended. But relax and learn your lesson. Nothing will really happan besides a small fine

    NJ has extremely harsh MJ laws (a joint nets 18 months) so the police are reluctant to hang you out to dry. Quit smoking pot it's not conducive to study and you play an odds game. Eventually everyone gets nailed.
