My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio
A friend of mine was recently arrested for possession of marijuana, including 3 gummy edibles and a weed-infused drink. He only had edibles and in a tiny amount (he said a total of 3 grams). The drink was purchased in Colorado, and is infused with 200mg of THC. When he was arrested, he was told that the possession of the drink constitutes a felony, even though it has the same amount of drug that the gummies do. I was reading up on the laws of possession in ohio, and I'm having trouble understanding this. It seems that there's a distinction between drug and compound.. ie. if you got caught with a handle of vodka with and 1/8th of weed in it, you wouldn't be charged for the weight of the vodka, but I'm not really sure about this.

This is what I'm reading from. He's getting a lawyer obviously, but I'm curious as to how this could turn out for him.
Questions:
Will he be charged for the liquid in the infused drink?
How thorough is the testing of these liquids, especially if they are labeled, unopened, and have labeled THC content? I was reading that the quality control on these substances is really spotty, so there's a chance that if tested it could have more or less THC than labeled. But does the fact that it's labeled help his case?
Other information: He's a college aged white kid with a spotless record. He was arrested during a routine traffic stop for wearing headphones, and he was completely sober at the time.
