I just received my first arrest for possession of greater than 3 oz marijuana. I have been informed that there was a possibility that it could be changed to a third degree felony possession with intent to distribute. Is this true?

Certainly. They can dismiss the class B, and recharge as a 3rd-degree felony, or, if they are in the correct court, simply amend the charge before the entry of plea.
