A: The results of the blood test are completely irrelevant as to whether they can charge you with possession of the syringe. They are unrelated to each other. You should get an attorney to represent you on the possession charge. It is at least a gross misdemeanor, maybe even a felony. Do not represent yourself.
A: A person facing a drug possession charge needs legal counsel and representation by a good criminal defense attorney. Drug testing may be required as a condition of pretrial release and-or probation if convicted. But I would suggest working with your attorney to find a way to avoid conviction.
