So a very close friend of mine was caught with a half ounce of marijuana and now has a court date to…

Usually for your first offense you get between 15-30 days in jail, a fine and probation. I used to live in IN.

yeah more than. likely a fine. maybe classes. duis these days even just get a fine

IL***

My brother in law Jst went through this they only made him attend some drug classes and he had a fine no jail time ... But it depends on the attorney he has

@1prince1princess, I really hope he doesn't get jail time. That would be so horrible for him...

It depends on who the judge is and their mood... if they're in a good mood, hope and pray that no one pisses them off before he's seen.

If he gets jail time it won't be more then 30 days usually. Chances are if he has a clean record and this is his first offense, they'll do a fine and have him do drug classes or something similar from what I've learned in my crim classes. It also depends on his attorney too but a lot of times it's not hard to cut a deal since it was marajuana not something like heroine or meth that would be taken more seriously.

And whatever he gets is what he gets, people got to learn somewhere.

not sure about your state but all the states I've lived in if it's under an ounce he would get a fine and possibly community service

he will most likely get probation

Yeah my brother was arrested for this too and he just got a fine and had to take online drug addiction classes, I'm sure everything will be fine

@chloesmama96, thank you! That makes me feel a lot better about it
