Typically for a first time offender in a possession case where the amount of marijuana is relatively small, that person could receive probation instead of jail, and depending on the court, given an opportunity to have the case dismissed upon a successful completion of probation. My advice is to contact a criminal defense attorney in your area to determine the usual penalties for first time offenders in your area as they vary by Sate.
