About Drug Cultivation & Manufacturing in Florida
Under certain circumstances, the charges against you may be enhanced. For example, Florida State law punishes offender more harshly if they cultivate or manufacture drugs within 1,000 feet of a community recreational facility, public park, child care facility, or school. This may elevate what was originally a second-degree felony to a first-degree felony, which is the highest possible offense.
Simple marijuana cultivation can lead to the following consequences:
- Fines of up to $5000, in addition to court fees
- Imprisonment for up to five years
- Third-degree felony conviction
The law also lists specific chemicals that are used for the cultivation and manufacturing processes. Possession of these chemicals, with the intention of manufacturing or cultivating a controlled substance, is against state laws. Even simply having knowledge of plans to manufacture controlled substances could potentially land you in legal trouble. As you can tell, the laws regarding the production of drugs in Florida are extensive and severe.
