What does this mean? Drugs - 5th Degree - Possess Schedule 1,2,3,4 - Not Small Amount Marijuana (Not applicable - GOC)

Generally speaking, a 5th Degree Controlled Substance crime is the lowest level (least serious) felony drug crime in the Minnesota Statutes. However, it remains a felony level offense, for which a person can be sent to prison, most often depending upon the person's prior record (or lack thereof). If you have no (or a very minimal) prior record there may possibly be a way through which you could focus on a treatment-oriented path which could result in eventual dismissal of the charges, though whether this sort of resolution would be available to you is not certain and would need to be investigated/clarified. Since this is a felony offense (which has implications of lifetime significance), you should, without question, hire an attorney to represent you.
