Poss of a controlled substance under PG1 under a gram is a state jail felony. State law requires the court to give probation or deferred adjudication if there are no priors. Enhancement to the next level takes this to a Third degree felony.
Whether or not you will go to prison depends on you, the judge, your lawyer, the prosecutor and perhaps a jury.
