The sale of a controlled substance is far more severe than simply possessing a controlled substance. Usually, this charge is a third-degree felony resulting in up to 15 years in prison. However, a misdemeanor sale of controlled substances can result in one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.

Is It a Crime to Sell Drugs?

Generally, the state of Florida considers drug sales as a felony crime. However, drug possession charges without intent to sell could be a misdemeanor crime or an infraction similar to a minor ticket in some states that decriminalize marijuana.

Upon what does a maximum and minimum sentence depend?

Important factors in a drug sales case include the specific type of drug sold, the amount, and the location of the sale. At Mazin Law, the Orlando criminal defense attorney can help you understand the circumstances of your case.

Types

The state requires mandatory minimum sentences when the charges involve certain controlled substances such as marijuana, heroin, or cocaine.

The categories are as follows:

Schedule I - Drugs that have a high potential for abuse.
Schedule 2 - These have a high potential for abuse, but have severe restrictions in medical use.
Schedule 3 - Some potential for abuse is present, but they have been accepted for medical use.
Schedule 4 - Medically accepted drugs with low potential for abuse.
Schedule 5 - Accepted for medical use with the lowest potential for abuse.

Amount

The difference between a drug trafficking and a drug sales charge is the following: while a conviction for drug sales can be based on any amount of a controlled substance, a conviction for drug trafficking must be based on a certain minimum amount.

Location

If the sale occurred within 1,000 feet of certain properties (including religious organizations, schools, or public housing facilities) it is a first-degree felony, punishable by up to 30 years in prison and / or a $10,000 fine.

"I am delighted to recommend Lyle B. Mazin for his exceptional dedication as a lawyer."
Throughout the years, he has consistently provided me with invaluable legal guidance, always being there when I needed professional advice for immigration or saving me from frauds. Recently, I was facing a critical situation in India, and despite the time difference, Lyle went above and beyond to help me, even working at odd hours to secure an expedited visa process for a life-changing TEDx speaking event. His unwavering commitment, prompt action, and meticulous attention to detail have left a lasting impact, and I wholeheartedly endorse him for his exemplary legal services.

"Thanks Lyle and Taylor!!!"
I had the pleasure of hiring Mazin Law for a situation I was going through. Attorney Taylor and Lyle brought me into their family (so to speak) and represented my case until it was dismissed. The care and compassion they showed to their occupation and my case, was second to none. The firm was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had during this process. They kept me updated with any changes that occurred regarding my case, up till the moment I could breathe a sign of relief, when my case officially was dismissed. I would recommend Mazin Law to anyone, and I could not be happier with my decision to trust the staff with my well being.
