Drug distribution is a criminal offense that involves unlawfully selling, delivering or otherwise distributing a controlled substance. In Florida, this offense is often a felony, punishable by up to 5, 15 or 30 years in a state correctional facility. If committed within 1,000 feet of a school, place of warship, community center, park, or publicly owned recreational center, a defendant is likely to face enhanced penalties and mandatory minimum sentencing of at least 3 years. The type of drug involved and the amount, as well as the offender's past criminal record, will all affect sentencing. In some situations, a drug distribution conviction may even result in life imprisonment.

Additional factors to consider when facing drug distribution charges include the possibility that you will face heavy fines, probation, mandatory drug treatment or counseling, driver's license suspension, or even deportation if you are not a U.S. citizen.
