Question

i was caught with less then a gram of pot and a grinder. the officer gave me ticket for possession with less then 40 gr. is this a felony or am i just going to be charged

Answer

It is a misdemeanor (I am assuming you are under 21). It does carry mandatory jail and a license suspension if you are convicted, though, so you should talk to a lawyer right away.
