I don’t know what state you live in, some are much more draconian on drug law. Your charges are likely for simple possession. If you are a minor then it will be off your record no matter what when you turn 18. If over 18.. u absolutely need to take the deal and complete diversion this time. That way the cases will be dismissed and when asked in the future on job apps you can say you’ve never been convicted of a crime because technically you weren’t.. the case was dismissed. In most cases you can even petition the court to have the arrest expunged if you get the case dismissed first. Then you can even say you’ve never been arrested.

This country defines a delinquent as an individual who break the law. A thief, a burglar, and a person who uses illegal drugs are delinquents. The reason I use a thief and a burglar as an example is because studies show that people who break the law in minor offenses, usually scale to other more serious offenses such as the one’s I described. Nevertheless, In order to deter the sale or use of illegal drugs, each state have laws that enforce and punish anyone committing a crime, you must appear and be charge for that crime. In other words, crime doesn’t pay. Now, if you’re found guilty in a court of law, you’re probably consider a low level/risk criminal. Since you broke the law again, your are afforded a rehabilitation program to help you overcome your problem. The institution then builds a personal history showing your type of character and criminal behavior. Actually, you become a photo portrait and finger print profile to a database of criminals. If all these M’s add up and you continue breaking the law, eventually your record becomes a tool for a judge to put the final decision and incarcerate you to the penal population. You are then industrialize to a system of which the major population are part of an assembly of criminal behemoth. These are the consequences, so slow down.
