Marijuana Charges that are 2 years old in Cali..

I read a rule in the California Health And Safety code that possession of marijuana in cali is a criminal offense and is put on ur record for employers to look at but it said that minor marijuana misdemeanors are not to be disclosed if they are 2 years old and u have never been caught with weed in the last 2 years since the first offense. will i have to worry about disclosing this info to a major employing company? it said that the information may be outdated or inaccurate if minor weed misdemeanors are disclosed that are 2 years old. Ive only got caught with a roach and got fined 250 dollars. this happened to me in may of 2002. do i have to worry about anything because my family is expecting me to get this job. thanks people.

oh yea ive never been finger printed or arrested or probation. just had to pay the fine.

Most employers ask if you've been convicted of a felony. Since this isn't a felony offense I wouldn't be concerned about it. I've also never heard of an employer actually requesting a persons criminal records. Maybe a company that does government work and requires you to have some kind of security clearance but not your avereage company.

Many companies DO require you to undergo a drug test at an independent lab so this would be my biggest concern if I was you.
