Selling marijuana can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the quantity, location, and circumstances of the sale. Generally, selling small amounts of marijuana may result in misdemeanor charges, while selling larger quantities or repeating offenses may lead to felony charges.
misdemeanor
Felony.
No. What you are charged with cannot be changed except by the court.
The decision on whether a crime is a felony or a misdemeanor is a legislative decision and the court cannot change that directly. However most felony crimes have 'lesser included offenses' that are misdemeanors. For example, a burglary could be charged as a criminal trespass, a felony assault as a misdemeanor assault, or a robbery as a simple theft. This is not usually done by a Judge or a court, but can easily be done by a prosecutor or jury.
Misdemeanor.
If you were charged with a felony - appeared in court - the charge was reduced from a felony offense to a misdemeanor offense - and then you skipped out and it has been necessary to issue a warrant for your arrest; It means that by fleeing you failed to complete your part of the 'legal' bargain and the felony charge would quite likely be re-instituted and you could now be a fugitive felon.
