As far as the rules go in the US, in most states if you get caught with a small amount of weed you're most likely just going to get a slap on the wrist. In the state I grew up in, for example, weed has been decriminalized below a certain amount which means that the worst that's going to happen to you if you get caught with it, whether you're an adult or a minor, is it will be confiscated and you'll receive a citation. That's really no worse than being caught with alcohol underage. It's considered a violation, not a crime, and as such I believe it doesn't appear on your record.
