I have an embarrasing question to ask, my step-brother just flew home last week from a vacation he tood in California, on his way back he thought it would be a good idea to take some marijuana with him, needless to say he was busted at the airport. So they arrested him for the time being while searching through all his luggage for any more paraphenilia. He had nothing in his luggage; the only drugs he had was the marijuana he had strapped to his leg, and according to him he only had about 4 grams, (the officers said they would weight at a later date) then they released him to go home because he did not have an ounce on him, it was medicinal marijuana-which he does not have a legal card and it was for personal use, but he has to go back to California and go to court on the 9th, what might his charges be, any info would help, thank you for your time.
 
What was the code section he was cited for?

If H&S 11357(b) he faces a fine and possible probation (to include counseling). It's a little more serious than a traffic ticket, but not by much.

However, because it IS a misdemeanor and it IS a drug conviction, he should really speak to an attorney. It is also possible that he can get diversion.
