More details to this question:
My husband was charged for having 2 grams of coke 8 years ago. he complied with his probation and did everything he was suppose to do. He has been a resident for 9 years and has not had any legal issues since. He went to Mexico last year for vacation and came back into the US without any issues. We are planning to go Mexico for family vacation at the end of the Month. Do you think there should be an issue with him coming back into the country?

A person can be charged with many crimes, but the determining factor is what he was convicted of or pleaded guilty to. If it was for having 2 g of coke, and if the problem was discovered at the time of inspection coming back to the United States, there would certainly be an issue. He would likely be placed in removal proceedings in which an immigration judge would ultimately make the decision as to whether he could keep the green card.
