Most likely, you will NOT be eligible for a second ACOD. The purpose of an ACOD is to give a defendant an opportunity to have a case dismissed as a first time offender. Therefore, the logic behind it somewhat precludes offering an ACOD to a repeat offender. You should speak with a criminal defense lawyer -- preferably one who handles a lot of marijuana cases.
