You would be criminally prosecuted for drug possession, and if the evidence warranted it, possession with intent to distrubute.

A conviction under either offense will disqualify you from receiving federal student aid if you were considering attending college or trade school.

it depends on a lot factors like age, location etc. If you are young, a felony will ruin your future. If you are old it will ruin employment opportunities forever. You would most likely serve prison time regardless of age.
