CanI get my charges lowered by snitching?
Ii was caught trying to buy weed. I am being charged with: 1) attempting to buy narcotics; and 2) using electronics to buy narcotics. What are the chances that I can get a slap on the wrist if I snitch?

So what you want here it to "cut a deal" by "flipping" on the source of the drugs? This is something that you need to discuss with your attorney on the matter. Prosecutors makes deals all the time BUT the type and form of the deal changes depending on the facts of each case. It will, I am sure, depend on how large scale an operation it is that you bought from. It will also depend on the type of information that you have to offer. If they already have a ton on the operation then your information may not add anything to the case they are trying to build. Speak with your lawyer.
