    Default Possession of marijuana and paraphernalia

    ok, i am 17. i will be 18 in 5 days. i was pulled over wednesday the 8th around 5am. my friend was driving. i had marijuana. i was charged with possession of marijuana in the *second*(what does that mean?) and possession of paraphanilia. my friend got to go home. i claimed everything. they took me to the police station. i was not cuffed or put in a cell. my dad came and got me. the cop told me when i turned 18 my record would be clean. i have to be back at the court house in that county monday at 2pm. what is going to happen to me?as if you couldnt tell, this is my first offence. i was suppose to leave for japan on tuesday. my boyfriend is stationed there. i know this may seem like a stupid question, but what are the chances of me getting to go? is there a chance that they could go ahead and charge me as an adult with my 18th birthday being so close?

    Default Possession of Marijuana

    The "in the second" appears to indicate that it is Possession of Marijuana, Second Degree (a misdemeanor) as opposed to the more serious felony "First Degree" offense.

    I would say that the odds of them trying you as an adult are effectively zero.

    If your court date conflicts with your pre-existing travel plans, you can probably get the court to change the court date.
