i was charged with conspiracy to dist. marijuana. i was giving a friend a “ride”,the DEA swarmed us. now what?

the friend that i gave a ride, was unknowingly dealing with an informant. i truly was, in my mind, just giving him a ride because his drivers license is suspended. he went into a hotel for reasons at the time i was unaware of, later to find out that he was meeting the “dealer”. he came out, emptyhanded, and we went to the burgerking nearby, so that i could eat before heading home. i went into the store and got my food to go. after i was done eating it in the car, 3 plain clothed men approached my vehicle, put a 9mm to my head, and a .38 revolver to my buddies’ chest. These DEA agents, later charged him and I with the same charge. Federal Conspiracy To Distribute Marijuana. i spent 2 days in jail, was released on $500,000 bail. The bond was $50,000 which my parents provided in the form of their Deed to their Home. now, while under home confinement with an electronic ankle bracelet, im awaiting trial, where i face up to 5 years in federal prison and a fine of $250,000. The DEA seized my vehicle, and froze all my bank accounts. My friend was the one talking to this “informant” numerous times on the phone, and met him in that hotel room. Simply because i was there i am being charged with this nonsense. Ive heard conspiracy charges are the hardest to beat. What i hope to achieve by sharing my story with the world is some sort of understanding as to what might be the outcome of my situation. If anyone has been in my shoes before please help. Is SHOCK offered in a federal case? i wouldn’t “snitch” on my worst enemy, simply because of the way i was raised, so if a plea is offered that doesnt involve “snitching”, but still includes jailtime, should i accept the plea, or go to Trial, and risk the maximum punishment of 5 years imprisonment, and a quarter million dollar fine? Surely a jury of my peers will see that i was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time right? i can’t see spending anytime in jail, let alone prison for an illegal action that A) didnt even end up happening, and B) i was totally unaware of.

If anyone can help me or just has any thoughts whatsoever about the topic, please share…. im stuck in my house 24/7 until further notice and can not stop thinking about the worst possible outcome.
Thanks to all for listening, and those who have advice or information.
I have no prior felonies…in face ive only been arrested once in my life, and i was 16 and it was only a violation…a simple fine not even a misdemeanor
I have a very well paid Lawyer, not a PD, and to the smart ass that asked if its too late to think about what i “should have” done…why do you even waste your time on this website…this is a place where people come to ask the world questions in hope for at least some sort of outside information or adivce. you obv have nothing better to do with your time than think of dumb one liners that in no way solve any type of question. Thanks for your response.
also i left out that while my friend was the one in contact with the informant, and i was “just there”….thats exactly how it was i never spoke with the informant, never met him, never went in that hotel. all i did was sit in my car while my friend “went to talk to someone”….in hindsight i guess hes not really a great friend…but im not here for advice on picking friends… thanks again to anyone with a logical response.
elwood…im going to presume your not a lawyer…do you understand the word conspiracy? and how “conspiracies” are dealt with in the federal system? im not trying to bad mouth you…i left nothing out
