Drug Possession in Florida

In the State of Florida, there are many different types of Drug crimes including possession, and/or trafficking in drugs. Depending on the drug and the amount of drugs, your charge may be a Misdemeanor or a Felony.

There are many alternatives to drug possession. These options include:

1. Misdemeanor Diversion Program (MDP) or Pre-Trial Intervention (PTI)
2. Pleas to a withhold adjudication (no conviction)
3. Drug court
4. Filing Motions to Suppress and/or dismiss
5. Going to Trial, either by Judge or Jury.

It is imperative that you do not get a conviction on your record when charged with a drug crime.

Other consequences include fines, jail or prison time, probation, and/or community service.
