Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

You're charged with a felony, so you should have an attorney, whether it's someone you hired yourself or an appointed Public Defender. Your lawyer is in a better position to give you information than a stranger on the Internet who knows nothing about your case.

Health & Safety Code 11350(a) is a felony punishable by up to three years in state prison. You might also get probation, with up to a year in jail, or you may qualify for Proposition 36/Penal Code 1210, which is probation with treatment instead of jail.

The outcome will depend on many factors, like your prior criminal record and how much methadone you had.
