Hello, my cousin, 18 years old, has recently got detained by the police since Friday (around 2 days) because of possession of weed wax (CONCENTRATED CANNABIS). His friend (lets call him Joe) was driving his newly bought car and he was in the passengers seat. Joe gets pulled over by a cop, to make sure it was really his car. The cop then smells an odor of marijuana in the car, because i guess they just finished smoking. The cop questions Joe and Joe confesses that he has a piece, a grinder, about 5 grams of marijuana and a lighter under his seat. Joe has a medical marijuana card. They step out of the car to get frisked and while Joe has nothing on him, my cousin had less than a gram of wax on him. They found it and let Joe off with a ticket, but charging my cousin with a felony. I want to know if there's anything i can do, or learn so i could help my cousin out. He has a clean background and this is his first involvement with the police. Can this felony be taken off his record? Please help. We live in California by the way.
