CULTIVATING MARIJUNA IN FLORIDA
Cultivation refers to growing marijuana. Often these cases are referred to as “growhouse” cases. These cases are more serious than possession cases and can often carry severe sentences. The need or desire for medical marijuana is not a legal reason to have marijuana or cannabis plants in your possession in Florida.
SALE OF MARIJUANA
Sale of a controlled substance such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, cocaine, and marijuana, are some of the most common charges we see. The sale of most controlled substances is a second degree felony. The exception to this is the sale of marijuana less than a trafficking amount, which is a 3rd degree felony. Simple possession of a controlled substance is generally a third degree felony punishable under Florida statute 893.13. Controlled substances are listed under Florida Statute 893.03. Sales of most controlled substances are a second degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison. Because of the Florida Sentencing Code, numerous sales may result in a minimum state prison sentence. This may occur when undercover officers make numerous purchases and wait before the arrest is made.
