The term "felony" is used to indicate the seriousness of an offense. A "felony" is a serious offense such as homicide, robbery, kidnapping, etc. A "misdemeanor" offense is a crime of less seriousness and a "summary" offense the least serious, such as a speeding ticket or littering fine. The term doesn't indicate whether it is a federal offense.

Crimes are either misdemeanors (lower crimes) and felonies (serious or high crimes) Stealing a candy bar is a misdemeanor, stealing an armored car is a felony. Crime means against the law- there are state and local laws, and Federal (national) laws. Stealing a candy bar is a state crime. Stealing a truckload of candy bars being shipped across state lines is a Federal crime. Drug possession (note spelling) is usually a state crime, and could be a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the drug, and how much of it. Under some circumstances (driving a truck load of heroin from one state to another) it COULD be a Federal Felony. Will depend on just what you are doing, with what, and where.
