In Alabama, a person can get a mandatory 10 years if they sell marijuana to anybody under 17 years old; also get 5 years if they sell marijuana within 3 miles of school or projects (not 1000 feet like most states). Drug type and amount don’t matter.

Not if your crime wasn’t a federal crime.
No you can not.
You can request it but they won’t let you because they won’t see a reason to.
lawyer up
You can certainly request it, but they are under no obligation to honor it. There is a cost associated with federal prosecution, and it is almost certain they will deny your request.
Chances are, you will get an even stiffer penalty with little or no chance of parole under federal law.
So now you cant pay the time..tough buddy, you broke the law, grow balls and take it like a man.
No. You really have no choice in the matter, and its not possible. Local or state authorities caught you, not federal agents. The state doesn’t have the authority to charge you federally
OK! You can actually beat this pretty easy.
You must get a lawyer and get the case to go to trial.
Plead Not Guilty
fact is trials cost money and if the DA isn’t willing spend the $ on “what most Americans have already stated in many polls across America” marijuana, Is a non violent and victimless crime.
Marijuana should be legal, and at the very least decriminalized.
Americans have spoken and all charges will be dismissed or they will try to get you to plead guilty to a lesser charge, which you will than have to discuss with your attorney and see what works best for you.
Now!! If the DA does decide to take on this case, and all current charges, your lawyer goes for a little thing called Jury Nullification. You can find at least 1 juror that agrees this law is just stupid.
Watch the video below and do some research on the subject and I’m sure you will find yourself feeling like you now have a fighting chance. Good Luck
