You must contact your lawyer who handled the case and ask that it be handled.
From what you describe it doesn�t seem as though the marijuana case was disposed off with an ACD. I�ll suppose that you took some sort of plea to a violation which although is not a crime will remain on your record. The ACD for the petit larceny should have been dismissed and sealed. Speak to a lawyer (preferably the attorney who represented you on the case) to try and take care of it for you. Good Luck!
