Basically the judge is going to look at it as you obviously didn’t learn your lesson with just a fine, and will go to the next level. That will usually involve probation, community service, and a fine. However, since you were caught on school property, (depending on your state/local law) there may be what’s called “enhanced penalties”. This could mean a double fine, a double sentence, or mandatory jail time, and the judge has no discretion in reducing it. Some states also have mandatory rehab as part of possession sentences.    Read more...
