Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. The short answer is possible felony charges for sale of a controlled substance. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your case. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

You should retain a good lawyer since drug dealing is a serious charge and can carry a criminal conviction, probation, drug court, or jail. Many prosecutors will try to get you 6 months in jail, even for a first offense. It depends on your age, what city you are in, what judge you have, and what lawyer you retain, but you might just get probation and a misdemeanor conviction. If you are under 19 you can get a Youthful Offender.

For a violation of California Health and Safety Code Section 11351, Possession of a controlled substance for sale, the punishment is 2 years, 3 years, or 4 years in state prison. If they have a voice recording of the transaction, they have the testimony of the undercover buyer, the drugs, and the marked or recorded money. This is enough evidence to convict you of the crime. Your best hope is to get your attorney to see if you can plead to something less.

Possible prison. You are a drug dealer. You need a good attorney.

They can get you for distribution if the amount is not over 25 grams, then probation eligible need a lawyer to review to make sure you get the best deal possible possible entrapment, but likely not.
