You already said you don't know where he did it or when he did. The OP also did not disclose in what quantity he sold marijuana. You are jumping to conclusions.

Because selling marijuana (with a few exceptions which he doesn't fall under) anytime after 1937 has been a serious crime. How bad just depends on time and place.

He said he sold...that is intent to sell. Intent to sell is where they get you. Again why do you insist on coddling criminals.

If it's all in one bag, without scales present, they have zero grounds to say you're selling.

If you have scales, baggies or anything else related to a dealer they'll try their best to pin that on you.

The most likely outcome is that you'll be doing "rehab" classes the first time. The second is you'll be doing extraordinary rehab classes.

The third, you're a dumbass.

The fact that they sold drugs is hardly a problem, at least in our state.

Unless you try to sell to an undercover cop. Or someone who gets caught with the marijuana testifies that you sold it to them. That happens all the time do you think high school kid Timmy isn't going to take a DA's deal to get off the hook for possession especially when his parents are leaning on him.

If you get caught as a possessor the most likely outcome is a suspended sentence and rehab. If you get caught selling its another ball game especially if you are selling to minors.

I am not going to even respond to your 3rd.

Those aren't even the most likely outcomes for habitual sellers in our state.

You have to be a pretty egregious idiot to go to jail for possession with intent to sell.

Like you thought it would be cool to have a "9" with your drugs or you decided to assault an officer or resist arrest.

There are these things called aggravating factors they make it so that you don't just get regular busted, but oh **** busted. The OP had them. Selling drugs to minors is a big no-no.

I don't coddle criminals and I don't coddle people who jump to conclusions.

I think you're assuming that they weren't also a minor. The OP'er would have to clarify.

Our state has some lax laws but not the most lax, also.

Our state has the 2nd most lax laws in the South. Even if they were a minor though there is an increasing trend to try teens as adults. Imagine that, for how conservative he is today he might have been a beneficiary of the liberal laws that were more prevalent back then about not trying teens as adults.
