A drug arrest in Florida can begin with something as seemingly simple as a small amount of a controlled substance and develop into a serious felony prosecution.
Florida drug laws cover possession, possession with intent to sell or deliver, manufacturing, delivery, trafficking, prescription-drug offenses, and possession of drug paraphernalia. The potential consequences can vary dramatically depending upon the substance, quantity, circumstances of possession, prior record, and the specific statute charged.
That is why defending a drug case requires more than asking, “What drugs were found?” The more important questions are what the State has to prove, whether the defendant actually or constructively possessed the substance, whether the search was lawful, and whether the quantity triggers trafficking or a mandatory minimum.
