"If a prosecutor gets an indictment against you for possessing and smoking dope, which is illegal under federal law, and a jury acquits you, are you forever scarred by this?"

It depends where I am. Locally, it would be seen as street creds. In some states, prolly a life-long scar.. On job applications? It depends whether the question is "arrested" or "arrested and convicted".

"Furthermore, who walks away with the bad record?"
Well, I'd be 1-0, and he'd be less than perfect.
