Understanding Marijuana Possession Laws in Florida

Medical marijuana is not considered a controlled substance. You can still be charged with a 1st-degree misdemeanor for marijuana possession for any amount less than 20 grams.

You can be charged with an intent to sell for marijuana, and if there's enough evidence to prove that you will be charged with a much higher penalty. Individuals charged with less than 20 grams of marijuana face misdemeanor charges for drug possession.

Consequences of Drug Possession in Florida

Drug possession could be considered a felony. Criminals can be charged with a year in prison and a fine from $1,000 - $750,000. Depending on your Florida Drug Possession or Drug Trafficking charge, you could be looking at anywhere from 1 year - 30 years in state prison. If you were charged with possession of cocaine, heroin, or other illegal drugs, you can be charged with a 3rd-degree felony. Penalties for 3rd-degree felonies include 5 years of prison time and a fine up to $5,000.
