Drug Crimes

Drug offenses and drug charges can cover a wide spectrum of offenses here in Florida.

For example charges and offenses can range from a possession of a small amount of a drug, to the serious charges like drug trafficking, manufacturing, or distribution. An example of a drug offense, such as drug trafficking, carries the harsher legal penalties under federal laws. According to federal guidelines the base offense level depends on the different drugs and amounts of that drug.
