In Florida, drug trafficking is defined as the intentional sale, purchase, manufacture, delivery, possession, or transportation of a certain quantity of controlled substances. Despite having a valid prescription, individuals may find themselves wrongly investigated for drug trafficking due to various factors:
Law enforcement officials may closely scrutinize individuals who consume prescription drugs in quantities exceeding their prescribed dosage or frequency, as higher quantities may begin raising suspicions of abuse or diversion.
Individuals who share or sell their prescription medication, even with good intentions, risk being investigated for drug trafficking if their actions violate state laws or pharmaceutical regulations.
