Under 10 Grams of marajuana (3.5) and smoking a joint with two minors (that's what they wrote on their statements).
I am being charged with possession of under 10 grams and a felony of distributing to minors... smoking a joint would be considered "contributing to the dilenquency" would it not?

Okay... well... I am not trying to justify my actions... but I will not let the system screw me over.... and to tell you the truth, I didn't even smoke anything with them, nor was the pot mine. I just happened to be driving and the minors in the car were the ones with the pot. I live in the state of Florida.

.No, you should have been charged with a felony. If you were just caught with 3/8 that would have a high misdemeanor. You did contribute to minors and that should be a felony.

Depends on your state as to why the infraction would be considered a felony. Likely- they are going after a state-level felony- the lowest of the levels. Likely punishment is a probation term. Lots of possession charges are noted on the record as a "State Felony".
Basically- it's a red flag on any future employment applications, college applications, or military applications that the person looking at your application should think twice about your integrity and intelligence. Actions speak louder than words. If you go before the judge having made promising progress towards avoiding substance abuse, being proactive in voluntarily joining an area support group, and holding down a paying job that has promise and training opportunities would go a long way in converting the charges and showing that it was a dumb mistake- not an indication of future action. Whining about the amounts and frittering with who said what gets nowhere with a judge. Prove through action that you have common sense....

It all depends on the law. If the law is written so that distributing to minors is a felony, then that's it.
Basically, distributing to anyone is a crime so distributing to a minor should be much worse.
Think of it this way, giving a kid a cigar could be seen as "contributing" because you are taking something legal for the rest of the population and giving it to a minor who isn't supposed to have it. Giving a kid something that is illegal for you to have should carry even stiffer penalties.

Drug trafficking is generally frowned upon, especially when there are minors involved. Are you really trying to say "no fair"? Get over it dude, you were wrong and mad cause you were caught. I hope you don't live near my kids.

In drug cases, they will use any attempt to get a felony conviction, especilly if there are minors involved. What the FU** were you THINKING?

What on earth were you thinking???? With drugs they will try anything. If they believe you were going to sell maybe. I say get a lawyer.

I am afraid when it comes to drugs the rules change. You are in the wrong so face the music.
