Possesion >2.5g; Court, Classes and fines?

[omega]

I have a court appearance for possession of cannabis under 2.5g. I was caught and not arrested. I am 19 have never been arrested or had any trouble with the law and I live in IL. I want to know what amount of a fine I should expect, will I have to go and pay for mandatory classes for â??drug abuseâ??, how long will this stay in my record is there anything I can do erase it off, what else should I expect and how do I prepare for court. Should I get a laywer. I can pay the fine and be on probation but the classes, NO!

You will have a fine of 100 and court(I think). It's a misdeanor and no jail time.

I think they'll send ya to court and you'll most likely be let off, or probation depends where in IL this happened. I live in Chicago and sometimes they either don't care or care too much, it sucks here

Man I was busted for PARAPHENILIA (a glass pipe when I was 14) and I got 9 months of diversion, which ended up getting revoked and led to probation which I am currently on for a NEW 9 months (I lasted about 5 months on Diversion). I fucking HATE it man, you have no idea. I owe my mom so much money for it, plus all the time spent on classes, meetings with my officer (45 min way from my house), community service...for a fucking PIPE! I wasn't even high at the time, and I didn't have any fuckin' bud on me! God dammit...
