What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California

My friend was arrested on Saturday night. She had 1 pill of ecstasy and 2 pills of morphine. She was charged with a felony count for each. The guy she was with had some cocaine on him and they are trying to charge her with possession of that as well. She also had a couple grams of marijuana and a pipe on her. She was release on bail. What should she expect? Will they plea her down to a misdemeanor because of the small amount on her? This is her first offense.

Depending on the specific offenses charged, she will probably be eligible for treatment/diversion under Prop 36.

This always bugs me. Why do these people never say "This is their ONLY offense"??? :confused: It is like they are readily admitting that they plan to re-offend.
