If you want odds, go to Vegas. There's no way to answer your question without a complete review of all the evidence.
The answer will depend on factors like the amount of stuff you had; whether you had packaging materials, scales, lists of customers and amounts; if it was packaged for individual sale; if you had lots of cash on hand; and the statements you made to the cops.
Your record also matters. If you had prior sales-related convictions, the DA will be less likely to agree to a simple possession charge.
When arrested and charged with a crime, the proper questions are, can you be convicted, and what can you do? Defend the charges. Go to court, enter a not guilty plea, arrange bail reduction or OR, set up and attend the court hearing[s] and trial date[s]. File evidence suppression or other motions as applicable. Raise all the available defenses with whatever admissible and credible witnesses, evidence and facts are available for legal arguments for motions, plea bargaining, or at trial. Go to trial if it can't be resolved with motions or a plea bargain. There is no magic wand to wave and make it all disappear. If you don't know how to do these things, then hire an attorney that does, who will try to get a dismissal, diversion or decent outcome through plea bargain for you, or take it to trial. If this is in SoCal, and you're serious about doing so, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help you use whatever defenses you may have. If you can't afford private counsel, you can apply for the Public Defender.
Very easy or very hard depending upon the facts
