Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

I am in Florida and had my house searched with a warrant. I was charged with an "intent to sell" (marijuana) felony despite not having any illicit or illegal drugs on me, just a scale and plastic baggies. This is the first offense on my record but I was charged to the 2nd degree since my house is located 900 feet away from the nearest road which is within the 1,000 feet mark. What potential consequences/charges/sentencing am I facing? Is there any hope to get the charge dropped or reduced since it is a first time offense? Dropped or reduced through being a confidential informant?

Without knowing ALL the facts, no attorney on this forum can answer your question. There may be many defenses, but you need to sit down with an attorney to discuss them. Furthermore, becoming an informant is a huge decision that should only be made after discussing with an attorney. In other words, call and sit down with an attorney as soon as possible.
