What are the Penalties For Drug Crimes in Florida?
The exact charges you face will depend on the type and quantity of drug found in your possession and your prior criminal history, if any. In Florida, felony conviction penalties can range up to 30 years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines, depending on the circumstances of the case. Convictions bring other consequences as well.

You can face a sentence of up to five years in prison for third-degree felony drug possession in Florida. The prosecutor could also order you to pay up to $ 5000 in fines. Many drug possession charges in Florida are considered third-degree felonies.
