I doubt he could wind up with anything above a misdemeanor; probably no charges. LE doesn't really want users, so much as dealers. LE is interested in users and dealers alike. There are a ton of users-only in federal prison as we speak.

I'd be mighty curious where that information comes from.
In my state, drug possession, not for sale, would be a state offense, not federal, first of all.
And for a first offense, the defendant would most likely be sentenced to some fine, some probation and some kind of drug diversion program.
Maybe Florida is a real tough state, for first time offenders, for possession, not for sale. You tell me.
And be sure to dial me into how it gets to be a federal offense, federal prison.
