What is Drug Possession?
According to both Florida and federal law, it is illegal for any person to possess an unlawful controlled substance. Unlawful controlled substances include, but are not limited to: marijuana, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamines, LSD, Ecstasy, and unauthorized prescription medications. If a person is found to possess an illegal narcotic, he/she can be charged with drug possession. Additionally, a person can be charged with possession if he/she is found to possess precursor chemicals that are used to cultivate or manufacture illegal narcotics.
Typically, people who possess small amounts of a drug will be charged with “simple possession”, which is a misdemeanor. People who possess large amounts of a drug are usually charged with “possession for sale”, which is a more serious crime.
