You should retain a lawyer. If you plead guilty or are found guilty, the range of punishment on the Class A misdemeanor of less than 35 grams of marijuana is up to one year in the county jail, and/or a $1000 fine. Other consequences are the possible loss of driving privileges as well as being ineligible for federal financial aid.
