I have a friend who found quite a bit of pot in her child's dresser. I'm not from NY state, just live here now, and I've never had to deal with any drug charges.

The child is on probation for another crime. The amount of pot in his dresser? Enough to fill 40 to 50 'dime bags'. He's definitely selling--has been coming home with money and buying a lot of things.

Anyone know about the charges for a 16 year old on probation in NY?

It would depend on the cops. But if someone's charged with 'intent to sell' it's usually jail time, as opposed to smoking, which is usually a fine and probation and you have to take a course on saying no to drugs.
