Sorry that I didn't clarify. Said friends are claiming the pot as theirs in the pretrial. Which hopefully will let the judge drop the possession off of me. I am still left with the paraphernalia charge though. Said paraphernalia being a cigarette roller that was legitimately used for rolling cigarettes. I've never been in this situation nor do I ever want to be again, I just don't know what to expect.

Hello all,I am looking for a little advice. I am currently licensed in Ohio as an LPN and have a job at a LTC facility. The other night I went through a sobriety checkpoint, officer had said he smelled alcohol, which is absurd, I wasn't drinking. Passed sobriety test, searched my car without my permsion, I assume based on the "smell of alcohol". I guess my buddies had a little marijuana on them which I had not known about and they found it. Officer charged everyone with a minor misdemeanor for possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia. Said paraphernalia being my cigarette roller which had nothing to do with the pot. It was from back when I was in college we bought big bags of tobacco and rolled our own cigarettes, being much cheaper. I know I'm going to plead not guilty on my hearing Monday. My question is what kind of impact will this have on my license? I have no attorney yet, as I am still searching. This is stressing me out to the max. Does anyone have any input. I feel as if I'm going to get screwed. My record is 100% clean with no charges whatsoever.
