Re: Misdemeanor drug possession
That small a quantity should qulaify as "personal consumption" and should result in a fine and probation if there are no exacerbating circumstances.
Speaking with the Public Defender in the court where your son will appear is a good idea because s/he sees these cases all the time and will know the likely disposition in your town.
