felony?
My son has a ''simple possession of 20 grams or more of marijuana'' on his record. Can this charge be considered a felony and affect the federal guidelines for him to be charged as a career offender?

Re: felony?
In Florida, Possession of More than 20 Grams of Marijuana is a felony under State law. And while I am not an expert in federal law, I do not believe that it would make him a career offender.
Additionally, if it is a charge he got as a juvenile, it would not count as a criminal conviction unless he was actually charged as an adult.
