Second Marijuana Offense in Maryland?

Question by Cameron: Second Marijuana Offense in Maryland?
In June of 2008 I was pulled over and my car was searched and marijuana was found. I never received a court date. In November of 2008 I received a DUI with possession of marijuana. For that I was sentenced to 30 days in jail and 2 years of supervised probation. It is now May 2009 and I have just received a court summons for possession in June 2008. Since my DUI I have completed a 26-week drug and alcohol abuse program and have never had a dirty urinalysis for my probation officer. Since this is my second offense, yet I have completed a drug and alcohol abuse program and abstained from drug use for probation, what do you think the outcome of my trial will be?
I know I am guilty and will most likely plead guilty, but what could my sentence be?
My first offense was for 1.5 grams and my second is for .5 grams.

guilty as it should be

Answer by Stuart
In Maryland, possession of marijuana in any amount for first offense is a misdemeanor punishable by a year in jail and a $ 1000 fine.

Any second or subsequent conviction can double first offense penalty.
