I posted a simmilar thread in LD but got like no answers. I'm facing a felony poss. w/ intent in wisconsin for about a half oz, scale, and bags (denied being a dealer) and I'm getting a well know weed rights lawyer. Now i could care less about fines or jail time but if they decide to never give my car back and label me a felon I'll have little luck finding work here. I looked at some state laws around me and found Minnesota is surprisingly different http://norml.org/index.cfm?wtm_view=&Group_ID=4545 If I move there can anyone tell me if it will be easier to find a job??? I have friends in MN, and I'm a huge fan of the midwest rave scene so i dont want to stray too far from home! PLEASE HELP!
 
if you are looking at a felony, that's federal law, not state law. i don't know how far you are in the trial process, but i'd bet you have to get permission from the feds to leave the state.

good luck!!

I also believe that you will need permission to leave the state. What kind of work do you do? I know a lot of employers (retail) will look the other way on felonies that don't involve direct theft or fraud. It always makes me sad to see people who just deal pot get rung through the system so bad :( Best of luck to you, I hope shit goes your way.

....No, a felony implies an offense punishable by a minimum of 1 year of incarceration. Federal offenses could all be felonies for all I know, but not all felonies are federal offenses.



OP, finding a job in Minnesota will be just as difficult as any other state. Obviously it'll be easier to find a job in a big city than a rural area, but it really all depends on your job skills/experience and what kind of job you're looking for. It'd probably be easier to tell your chances of landing work if you browse some job sites, ranging from anything to Monster.com to snagajob.com.
 
1/2 an oz? a decent lawyer should be able to work a deal where you plead to a misdemeanor instead of a felony. Good luck.
