Cocaine Charges Lawyers in Gainesville, Florida 

Cocaine is made from the leaves of cocoa plants and is classified as one of the most addictive types of drugs for users. Cocaine can usually be found on the streets in two forms: cocaine hydrochloride and crack cocaine hydrochloride. In the US, it is illegal to possess, sell, traffic, distribute, manufacture, smuggle or intend to distribute/sell cocaine.

When it comes to cocaine and crack cocaine, Florida laws are complex and very severe. Because of its highly addictive qualities, cocaine is a drug which both state and federal agencies investigate and harshly prosecute. Because of the government’s interest in cocaine-related crimes, Florida laws have been passed that allow for maximum sentencing for convicted cocaine offenders. For example, if a person is found in possession of 5 or more grams of cocaine, federal law states that the minimum sentence for that person is 5 years imprisonment if he/she is convicted.
