Caught Selling MDMA

MODS! Not sure if this is the right forum, so please move if I am in the wrong.
Full Story: My friend and I posted an ad on craigslist looking for any rave type events or parties where people would be rolling. I received an email from a guy looking to score some E, after talking with him for a bit we set up a meeting place and long story short I got caught selling to an undercover. It was 18 pills total.
My background: I have zero criminal record, and a reputable military history with a college degree. In talking with the police he seemed to indicate that my lack of priors and solid background would help my case considerably.
Any input on possible outcomes or courses of action would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all for your time. Oh yeah, I'm in california.

You should never talk to cops, especially when you get arrested. Get a lawyer and expect to pay out the ass.

You should make your OP anon. might not be good to discuss an ongoing court case, in a thread where it might be linked to your profile? IDK
Definitely don't talk without a lawyer. They will also probably try to get you to "cooperate" by setting up your dealer, if they think they can.
Lack of criminal background usually seems to help first time drug offense, but I'm not sure how much harshly the intent to sell would be, especially with that stuff..
Sorry you got screwed, though that was not your best decision in life....

Dumb decision but you already knew that. I really don't have any advice because it sounds like you already confessed to them. The cops are not your friends and they will tell you things like "this will help your case. you have no priors that will help you alot." They don't give a damn about you it's just psychologically buttering you up. Get a lawyer and like someone else said expect to pay out the ass. That is the only honorable thing to do. I'm sure, they have already tried to or are going to try and make you roll over on someone else "to help your case." Don't do it.

Specifically, what are your charges? Conspiracy, Intent to sell, sales?
I might be able to help if I have the specifics...

Based on having no prior record, military background, and whatever else you can bring to the table, you might be able to negotiate the intent and sale to simple possession. If you can pull that off, you can go into a diversion program and pretty much sweep this under the table.
I am going to refrain from asking specifics about the incident because you are not anonymous.

In California most people get 3 years supervised probation for minor drug dealing offenses.
If you smoke weed get a medical marijuana card so they won't send you to jail for a positive THC drug test.
Avoid legal trouble for the next 3.5 years.

I got diversion in lieu of conviction for my CL fuck up, but it had nothing to do with sales. It was only supposed to be for a year.

I can say watch out for Craigslist. You never know. I had some email come through to me with a government like address and not sure if it was a joke or just some people are stupid enough to not even notice, but they are out their.
You can find parties via the street, and I recommend making friends; seems like police are too lazy for that these days. Let the loser majority get caught on the net, and we will be elite on the streets.
Keep safe. Way harder to get caught in real life, cops are easy to tell... A little bit out of place, watch out for the women...
