Possession of marijuana charge

I received a possession of marijuana charge, but i only has less than a gram of marijuana. Shouldn\'t that be a simple possession charge?

It should be yes...but still, make sure you get legal counsel (or at least the public defender) to try to keep this off your record eventually--jail time is not likely if your record is clear now. But having that arrest and/or a conviction on your record could make job-hunting etc. more difficult. Often this could be negotiated down to some kind of court supervision or even be dismissed etc. If it eventually appears it cannot be negotiated down, let us know...
