A felony is a really big thing, except when it's not:

THIRTEEN BAGS? There's personal use, and there's personal use for all your multiple personalties, and there's bringing enough for the whole class to share, but that's preposterous. Why should she get the felony dismissed if she "undergoes" counseling and goes to a few classes? I've seen episodes of Cops where they drive people directly to prison when they find half that much wedged in the ashtray.
