When you were charged with possession of marijuana you were charged with a misdemeanor now your background check says you have a felony conviction for this offense why?

It IS possible that it is a clerical error. Go to the court in which you were convicted. At the Clerk of Court's office and ask to see your court file. The final disposition of your case (felony or misdemeanor) will appear there. If you find that the background record is incorrect, ask the personnel at that office how to go about getting it corrected.
