Selling Prescription Drugs Penalties in Florida

Under Florida Law, it takes a smaller amount of prescription drugs than illegal ones to be arrested and charged with trafficking. For example, the minimum amount of marijuana/cannabis/pot/weed for a drug trafficking charge is 25 pounds; for cocaine, it's 28 grams. By contrast, if you're caught with just 4 grams of prescription drugs such as Hydrocodone or Oxycontin, you may be charged with drug trafficking.

What are the Penalties for Selling Drugs in Florida?

The penalties for selling drugs in Florida include the following:

  • Selling marijuana, prescription drugs, and most other controlled substances is a third-degree felony with a maximum prison sentence of 5 years.
  • Selling cocaine is generally a second-degree felony with a maximum of 15 years in prison.
  • However, if you sell drugs within 1,000 feet of a convenience store, church, or school in Florida, the charge may be raised by one degree.
  • First-degree felonies carry a prison sentence of up to 30 years.
