Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Possession of marijuana

I was pulled over for out taillights then the police officer said he smelled marijuana and searched the vehicle. He found a small amount of marijuana in a bag other empty bags and a scale.

I wanted to know if the charge would be dropped since it is my first, or would i have to take any drug tests or counceling tests?

Will they drug test me when i go to court?

on the ticket it says law section 18.7.250.1 Possession of marijuana

possible for this particular charge conditioned upon your full cooperation with the process.
