Advocacy for You

Florida Charges for Drug Crimes

Florida law classifies drug offenses based on the type and quantity of the controlled substance involved, as well as the nature of the alleged offense. If you are facing drug charges in Pasco, Sumter, Hernando, or Hillsborough counties, it is important to understand the different types of offenses that may apply to your case.

Drug charges may involve substances such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, opioids, MDMA, and more. Although medical marijuana is legal in Florida under certain conditions, recreational marijuana remains illegal, and possession, sale, trafficking, or manufacturing can result in criminal prosecution.
