Smaller drug charges like possession are going to be local or state charges, usually lesser penalties. Federal charges are going to be your felonies which carry longer sentences, also if you’re trafficking between states it can beckme a federal charge too.

Is it a state drug offense, or a federal drug offense? If it is a state offense, the state will probably drop it and turn you over to the Feds for the firearms violation since it carries heavier prison time. If it is a federal drug beef then they'll probably just combine the two offenses. You MIGHT be able to plea bargain one or the other depending on the strength of what you can offer the federal prosecutor.
