Tap Here To Call UsMarijuana is the most frequently used illegal substance in Florida and the United States. Although states throughout the country have amended their laws regarding marijuana, Florida’s marijuana laws remain particularly harsh. Charges and convictions can lead to severe punishments, including both criminal punishments and additional indirect consequences.
One of the most severe consequences of a marijuana offense is its effect on your ability to legally drive. A conviction for any marijuana charge under Florida law will result in a six-month driver’s license suspension. Other indirect consequences may include being unable to obtain certain financial aid for educational purposes and public housing.
Marijuana offenses should be taken seriously. Even if you believe that possession of cannabis should be legal, Florida laws still make possessing the drug in any form a crime. If you are facing any sort of marijuana charges, it is important to hire an attorney who will defend your charges aggressively.
