Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

If I received a ticket for drug paraphalia (cigar tips that I admited could be used to smoke marijiana) and admited to being high as a passenger in a motor vehicle, in the State of Ohio, can I lose my driver's license? This is my first offense. Will the tickets be decriminalized and be considered as a traffic violation of sorts with just a fine?

As charged you would lose your license if you were charged under the state code, which is 2925.14... You will very likely receive a plea that would prevent the license suspension. You need a little break and most often defendants receive it. But I don't know what Court you're in and I would also need to know how the incident began, and whether you were ever read your rights before you told the officer that you were high. Call me directly and we can talk some more. 216.952.1990
