stupid criminal record

just found out that i have a felony charge on my record from last year for possession of a controlled substance (mushrooms), but the charges got dropped and the case dismissed before going to trial. Now i have the pleasure of explaining that to the company im trying to get job with. Its fucking bullshit. No conviction, no indictment, nothing., but there it is plain as day on my record. If it was dismissed, why the fuck is it still there. Shit might blow my chances with this job. I got dismissal papers, but still it doesnt look good. Fucking A, im gonna be so upset if i get turned down cause of this.

What got them to drop it?
Genuine curiosity, if you don't want to elaborate that's cool too.

court got reset and reset for abut 3, 4 months waiting on the test results and when the test results came back, they dismissed the case. Im assuming they didnt store it or dry it properly and it likely molded or got gross or something; inconclusive. which would make sense since they attempted to store and dry in an open paper grocery bag. The docket didnt specify, just said 'see state's file'.

When i was young some guy sold his gun to some sketchy people and they pistol whipped someone. the police went to the owner. The owner didnt want to snitch on the skethy people so he said that he sold it to my dad. So my dad got arrested and even though everything got sorted out it still says that my dad was arrested for a hand gun on his record. And hand guns are a really big deal in canada. He had nothing to do with it but the police probably assume that he is armed and dangerous. It sucks op but there is nothing you can do.

You weren't convicted of a felony, tell them their background check is BS.

Thats not gonna fly. Plus i already explained to them about the dismissal and sent a copy to them. Guess ill find out tomorrow if its ok. On top of that i have 2 misdemeanor charges for possession of marijuana. I really dont think the misdemeanors are much of a concern, but on top of the felony is what im worried about. Really want this job.

I have a "deferred adjudication" charge on my record in texas. If I pay a fee I can get it completely erased, or I can save some money and do most of the paperwork and file it myself. It sucks because it really means no charge, but one has to pay another person to "erase" it form a background check. Made me almost get kicked out of the app process for nursing school. I had to explain it in person to the investigative unit for apps when I applied.
I checked no for arrests, convictions etc...because I was told that I was clear with no record. The board thought I lied to them so I had to go in person to explain. Still have a "with restrictions" thing on my license because the guy was dick and said I he "had to" leave that there. I'll write to them and appeal to get it taken off when I get my RN though. Hopefully enough time has passed and I get a break.

they turned me down. They said the drug charge was too recent. IDK if they're talking about the felony or the misdemeanor. 2 misdemeanors for pos of marij in 2010 and 2013.. Im assuming its the felony thou, even thou its dismissed. They said try again in 6 months. Maybe i can get it expunged by then. However, im just gonna apply at the next company for now

if the charges got dropped, you never got convicted. don't sweat it. if it ends up fucking you, let us know because i'm more or less in the same boat as my charges got dropped like trex with "withheld ajudication" they sent me a letter at the end of everything saying things had been dropped by the state.
