More details to this question:
My 18 year old son was caught smoking marijuana with friends on campus in CT. This was his first offense. As I understand, in CT possessing a half-ounce of marijuana is no longer a misdemeanor. Please confirm this law is in effect. Specifically I want my son to withdraw from college and join the military.

Under C.G.S. 21a-279a, the most someone can be fined is $150.00 for the first offense. This is an infraction, not a criminal conviction. Since it is an infraction (much like a traffic ticket) and not a criminal conviction, it should not bother or impact him in joining the military.
