    Exclamation Charges for Unlawful Possession of Marijuana

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York, delaware county

    My question concerns two Unlawful possession of marijuana charges. The first was about a month ago, my tail lights were out. After being pulled over the officers saw my metal grinder and then had me step out of the car finding a sandwich bag containing around 20 grams of marijuana. The ticket had no amount of grams on it that i was holding, just possession of a leafy substance believed to be marijuana. I went to court for this and got my court day moved a to a month from now. In Between this happening i got into a car accident flipping my car. the police did inventory on my car, and found a container holding 0.5 of a gram of marijuana and i received another u.p.n. I am just graduating from high school and planed to go to college and wanted to become a pharmacist. Is there anything i can do to get these charges dropped or lowered? I read up on some possible ideas from http://www.queensdefense.com/marijuana.htm (not spam don't worry). Please advise, any help is greatly appreciated, as i want to fix my life.

    Get a Lawyer, the DA can charge you for both cases at once. Better for the prosecution (not you).

    I will say that you have effectively ended your chances of becoming a pharmacist.

    Unless you are found innocent, your chances of obtaining a pharm license are very slim.

    Hire a lawyer,maybe you can get one charge thrown out and acd on the other one,or maybe plea bargain to disorderly conduct.A small amt of marijuana is a violation in new york,I think the 3rd time it becomes a misdemeanor and jail time is possibility. Make sure you don't get caught w. even a spec of marijuana in the future.

    NY Possession
    25 g or less (first offense) civil citation none $100
    25 g or less (second offense) civil citation none $200
    25 g or less (3rd offense) misdemeanor 5 days and/or fine $250
    25 g to 2 oz* misdemeanor 3 months $500
