According to Florida law, drug cultivation is defined as the manufacturing of illegal drugs and controlled substances such as cannabis seeds or marijuana plants. It is a crime to grow, produce and possess certain plants and elements that are used to produce illegal substances such as
LSD, cocaine and methamphetamines. If you or someone you know has been charged with drug cultivation, it is important to be proactive about defending your rights.
Drug cultivation charges are different from drug
possession charges because the individual who is charged with cultivation may not possess the illegal drug in its final form. However, depending on the ingredients and key components that are found, police officers may have enough evidence to apprehend the guilty party. If you have been arrested for drug cultivation, talk to a Fort Lauderdale drug crime attorney who can defend your rights and challenge the evidence used against you.
