According to Florida statutes, it is illegal to cultivate, manufacture, possess, distribute, sell or traffic controlled substances. Controlled substances are those which are prohibited or regulated by the government, such as illegal street drugs (heroin, cocaine, ecstasy) or prescription drugs which should only be taken when one has a legal prescription from a licensed medical caregiver (such as Vicodin, OxyContin or Xanax).

The penalties for a drug crime offense will vary greatly depending upon the type and amount of controlled substance as well as the offense itself. In general, possession of a controlled substance is a much lesser offense than the distribution or sale of the same drug. Crimes involving different types of drugs will also result in greater or lesser penalties.
