  1. CAN YOU BE CHARGED WITH DRUG TRAFFICKING IN FLORIDA EVEN IF YOU WERE NOT SELLING ANY DRUGS? www.kirlewlawfirm.com

  2. Florida has a complex maze of drug offense laws, and they are confusing. If you are charged with a drug crime in Miami, it is crucial to know the difference between simple possession of drugs and a more serious charge like trafficking. We say this because the nature of your charge can affect the punishment you face. In this article, we will explain how you could be charged with drug trafficking even if you were only in possession of drugs and were not selling them. What is drug trafficking? When you hear the word ‘drug trafficking,’ you might think of nationwide drug dealing operations. But it is not just selling drugs that can get you in trouble in Florida. If you are caught with drugs in quantities exceeding the legal limits, you could be charged with drug trafficking in Florida. 3

  3. For example, having more than 25 pounds of marijuana, 28 grams of cocaine, or even just 1 gram of LSD, can change a simple possession charge into one of trafficking. Why does intent matter in drug cases? Intent (or what the accuser intended to do with the drugs) is an essential factor in drug cases. If you have a small amount, the law will likely consider it for personal use. But if you have a lot, the law will assume you intend to sell or distribute them, and you could get charged with trafficking. The important thing to remember here is that you don’t have to be caught in the act of selling drugs to face these charges. Simply having a large amount of drugs in your possession can be enough to imply intent to sell. 3

  4. What happens if you are charged with trafficking? The consequences of a drug trafficking charge can be extremely harsh. In Florida, this could mean facing mandatory fines, a long time in prison, and a permanent mark on your record. This is why it is crucial to work with an experienced Miami criminal defense attorney if you are charged with drug trafficking. They can help you understand the law, argue that you were not planning to sell the drugs, and maybe even help get your charges reduced or dropped. The right legal representation and strategy can make a huge difference in the outcome of your case. 3
