Types of Drug Offenses
Cultivation
This is a charge typically associated with marijuana. Cannabis, the proper name for marijuana, is a plant that can be grown/cultivated with warmth, light and water like most other plants. This crime is also closely tied with manufacturing, which involves producing other illegal narcotics in drug labs.
First Time Drug Charges
Your first time being arrested can be one of the most disturbing experiences, especially if you were entirely unprepared for this very moment. At our firm, we ensure that your first time drug charges are treated with the most aggressive defense strategy.
Importation
Being charged with importation, another type of trafficking offense, can be devastating, especially if you are unaware of how to effectively handle the situation. If you have been charged with the importation of an illegal drug or prescription drug, you may face serious criminal charges.
Possession
This is the most common type of drug crime, because those who commit greater drug crimes all start with possession of the drug itself. Those who are found in possession of a great enough amount of the illegal narcotic may be cited for intent to sell.
Possession with Intent to Sell
In the state of Florida, it is a third degree felony to sell marijuana and a second degree felony to sell cocaine. Charges and penalties will differ depending on the amount found in possession and type of drug.
Prescription Fraud
Fraudulent claims regarding prescription drugs, such as the unlawful sales of a prescription medication, constitutes a crime in the state of Florida. Additionally, the drug crimes often referred to as doctor shopping or prescription forgery can also land a person with serious criminal consequences.
