More details to this question:
I got arrested a month ago and I am waiting on my court date. I only had 10 grams of marijuana in the trunk of my car, and was pulled over for false statement saying my headlight was not on but it was. The police weighed it with the bag which made it over 20 grams which is a felony.

Under 35 grams is a misdemeanor. 35 grams or over is a felony. You need to hire an attorney if you want to keep this drug charge off your criminal record.
