Possession of under 2.5 grams of cannabis is a class C misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days in jail. The paraphernalia charge is a class A misdemeanor punishable by up to 1 year in jail. The illegal consumption charge sentence depends on whether you've been charged with a state charge or city ordinance.

You need to hire an attorney to get the best outcome for you. Since you're still young, resolving your case without proper legal advice could effect you in your future (potential jobs, education, etc.)

good luck
