<p>So you were charged, but not yet gone to court and convicted?
Well, most job applications ask you to list any criminal convictions, and this would definitely count and be to your detriment. I would get a lawyer and try as hard as you can to get the charge reduced.
But dude, what were you doing with it anyway if you're "not a stoner"?? Usually thats the reason people have marijuana.</p>
<p>I contacted My Business Law Professor Who was an attorney and talks abouts these issues and is a really cool guy and doesn't mind helping students.
Also thinking of hiring an attorney. Might get my other two friends to pitch in, heck better then 3 300$ fines.</p>
<p>so 3rd time, but this is the first "bad" one? haha interesting, man. You definitely want to talk to a lawyer here. And stop carrying marijuana around!</p>
