1st time drug charges
Hello I'm a 23 year old male that resides in Pennsylvania. I have no prior criminal record. About two week ago this guy ive known for a while (I've known him about a year and my mom has known him even longer) who sells adderals and subutex and buys them off other people when he doesn't have any. I've been trying to stay clean off narcotics and I just wanted a adderal to keep my mind clear and focus on job applications and interviews. I asked him but he didn't have any. He referred me to this guy who he has known for a long time and sells to and buys from. So I purchased one adderal from this guy after him running me around for days. About a week later he told me he would give me a adderal if I could get him a bundle of heroin. I paid the money for the heroin which he would give me back. It turned out he was an informant and I gave him the bundle and he gave me the money I paid for it and stated he had to get the adderals and would be right back. A couple minutes later I was swarmed with task force cops and searched(nothing else found on me besides the money he gave me) and I was arrested for possession/manufacturing of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver (I brought one bundle and gave it for the price I paid how is that manufacturing) and all the charges that come with it like use of a phone facility and all that. Pretty much all the charges are felonys with one 3rd degree felony. The judge at arraignment told me I'm facing up to 10 years. I'm just wondering with having no record and it's my 1st offense of a drug charge does anyone know what I will be facing when it comes to sentencing?

Just how much time you do depends on certain factors. Get yourself a good lawyer and see if a deal can't be cut with the prosecutor where you give them the next in line. That being the person that sold you the drugs.
I'm surprised that offer hasn't been made to you as you are in the grand scheme of things chump change. The cops want the big fish, the distributors. They catch the small fish in the hopes of working up to bigger fish.
If you are not cooperating you can expect to do a large part of the 10 years. If you cooperate and can give them the next in line it is possible you can deal for probation. Get yourself a good lawyer not a public defender.
