I'm not too sure whether or not this is the appropriate place to ask this question. I'll take a shot at it, and if you feel this question is unapropriate for this subject matter feel free to delete my post at once.

I was arrested with posession of marijuana one night at about 11pm. We hadn't done anything wrong, but were told to get out of the car so we could be searched. Doing so the Officer had patted me down and a small baggy dropped out containing less than 4 grams. I stayed the night in the county jail awaiting my arraignment, on which the judge released me on OR (Own Recognisance), pending a hearing May 11th.

I am a first time offender, with no previous record (juvenile or adult) and a full time college student (if that matters). I was in Pittsburgh, PA and I'm currently 20 years of age. What are my possible consequences for such a small amount? Will they take into consideration it was in fact such a small amount? Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your time,

Mike
