Tallahassee Drug Laws
A drug charge in Tallahassee can come with severe consequences. In Florida, it is a felony to possess a drug or controlled substance with the intent to sell. It is also a felony to merely possess certain 
controlled substances. The possession of cocaine is a third-degree felony.
If you are facing a felony drug charge in Tallahassee or surrounding areas, it is important to secure the best representation possible. In a case of possession with intent to sell, the prosecutor must prove that you actually intended to sell the drugs found in your possession. In these types of cases, the evidence of intent to sell is often circumstantial and may be weak, making this a difficult crime to prove. In some instances, defendants are harshly charged only to discover later that the evidence does not actually support many of the charges that were initially brought.
Drug laws are complicated and a conviction can have long-term consequences for your future. If you are facing a drug crimes charge, you should never attempt to represent yourself or go with an inexperienced attorney.
