You should contact an experienced criminal law attorney. Also you have learned a valuable experience never talk to the police if you are a suspect. They lie about this sort of thing all the time.

If all that is involved is possession of the drug for personal use, you should qualify for drug treatment.

The issue of miranda rights is not simple and you should discuss the facts with an attorney.
