    Possession of what, in what quantity?

    Simple possession, right? Not possession with intent or manufacture?

    Quote Quoting INA 212(a)(2)(B)(i)
    Conviction - Any alien who at any time after admission has been convicted of a violation of (or a conspiracy or attempt to violate) any law or regulation of a State, the United States, or a foreign country relating to a controlled substance (as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802)), other than a single offense involving possession for one's own use of 30 grams or less of marijuana, is deportable.
    You should work with an immigration lawyer.
