Normally, a detainee will be put in removal proceeding. If your relative wants to leave the US, she might request that. We suggest you to consult with an immigration attorney for the best solution.

If she agrees to voluntary departure she may be barred from reentering the U.S. for 5-10 years. If, however, she is placed in removal proceedings she may be able to fight the deportation order (if indeed the marijuana possession was minimal) and then leave on her own afterward. You need to speak hire an experienced immigration attorney to handle this case for you.
