Accused of a Florida Drug Manufacturing Charge?
To the average person, thoughts of drug manufacturing conjures up images of chemicals cooked on a stove in a back room or even kitchen to create illegal substances. While these images are accurate in some cases, drug manufacturing charges in Miami, Miami Dade County, Fort Lauderdale or Miami Beach, Florida can be levied for many additional activities, including the following:
- Cultivating and growing illegal plants
- Extracting illegal substances from substances of natural origin
- Synthesizing natural substances through chemical means
- Combining substances to create an illegal substance
- Packaging illegal substances
- Labeling or relabeling containers
The seriousness of drug manufacturing charges in Florida
While all drug crimes are treated seriously in Florida, both state and federal law look at intent as the basis for determining how serious a drug crime is and how extensively it should be punished. Manufacturing drugs is considered one the most serious types of drug offenses in Fort Lauderdale and throughout the state because the intent of manufacturing is seen to be sale and distribution.
Few people are exempt from a Miami Beach drug manufacturing charge
The Florida Drug and Cosmetics Act permits a Florida drug manufacturing charge to be brought against anyone who violates the laws governing legal drug manufacturing. But the Florida Pharmacy Act protects pharmacists and others performing legal drug manufacturing activities from being charged with a drug offense in Miami-Dade County or anywhere in Florida.
