Lucky for you, possession of marijuana in New York is no worse than a speeding ticket. The fact that you're only 17 makes it more likely that you will get an ACD. Whether you need your parents there or not is up to the judge, so I would call the court clerk's office and ask since it varies from court to court.

When you talk to the judge, be as respectful as possible and act like you made a stupid mistake that won't happen again. Also, make sure you dress up for your court appearance. I wouldn't sweat it too much since you're only facing a maximum $100 fine. Good luck and I hope your more careful about smoking from now on.
Thanks a lot for your help. I've already had one ACD (for trespassing) that expired in December. Am I eligible for another or is it a one time thing (forgot what the judge said)?
