It depends on the amount he had. Having more than one bag, it's likely that he had more than the amount that's considered to be for personal use.

We can't answer that because there simply are too many unknowns. Adult or juvenile, for example. Possession or possession with intent to sell. How backed up the forensics are who need to confirm it is actually weed. If they can't do that in time, charges may be dropped or reduced to possession of paraphernalia, assuming he also had some of that with him. And even if all the evidence is there and ready, it will likely depend on a plea bargain and the leniency of the judge.

The first thing not to do is panic. Drugs are becoming legal. Well weed is. If he has any sign of cleaning up his act he will get less time probation etc. I'm not sure.
