    Default Paraphernalia Possession in Pennsylvania, Section 17 or ARD

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Pennsylvania

    I'm 18 and was arrested with 2 other adults, and 3 other minors a few months back and charged with paraphernalia use/possession. They found 3 pipes, all being claimed by the other 2 adults. I've talked with my lawyer, and he wants to go with a section 17 instead of an ARD, saying I should save the ARD if something more serious happens. However, my other 2 friends are going with ARD. I was wondering what the benefits/negatives are of each. My lawyer said I may have to get a doctors note saying I'm "hooked on marijuana". Could something like that show up when I'm looking for a job down the line? I've also heard ARD is less strict probation, and wondering what the differences in the probations would be. Thanks.

    One of the reasons you have a lawyer is so that he can advise you. When you have questions about your lawyer's advice, the best thing to do is ask the lawyer for his rationale. He know's what he's thinking; we can only guess. He's also much more familiar with the relevant facts.
