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.
