Penalties for Drug Possession in Miami and South Florida

The type of drug involved as well as the amount will impact potential charges and final sentencing upon a conviction, as will the presence of any items that may indicate an intent to distribute. Possession with intent and possession of drug paraphernalia are specific offenses related to drug possession that may affect any potential penalties that you may face if convicted.

In some cases, a defendant accused of drug possession may be eligible for alternative sentencing, most often a drug rehabilitation or treatment program to avoid imprisonment and or conviction. This is most often an option available to first time drug offenders with no prior criminal record, and to juveniles.
