Legal Question in Criminal Law in Washington

Possesion Of Marijuana (Crumbs)

I got pulled over since my tail lights had gone out (faulty fuse, Bad timing) I had hotboxed a couple of joints earlier in the day and the car still reeked. The cop smelled it and arrested me asap and searched the car. I had no weed so I thought i was ok. The car i was in was only a few days old. So when he searches the car he finds baggies under my passenger seat carpet and a digital scale hidden in my trunk. (I let him search it since I had nothing to hide, but some one previously had hidden it deep in there) The officers then scraped some crumbs off the carpet and said since it was enough to test it was enough to charge me with for possesion of it. He gave me paraphanelia for the scale and baggies. Ontop of my traffic ticket. I have never been arrested so the whole thing was scary. I was scared because im going to be a future college student and marijuana possesion will make you lose your financial aid in the states. (i live in washington). They told me the only way out was to Was to exchange another crime for the one i had commited. Me being afraid made up a lie about an buddy who i knew who knew some one who sold weed at my college. (No lie thats exactly what i told the cops) I just want to go to court and receive my ticket.
