What Happens When People From Out of State Get Caught With Drugs in Florida?

Some people who were born in Florida can’t wait to get out, but for everyone else, the Sunshine State looks like an aspirational paradise. People whose beauty is the talk of the town in flyover states flock to Florida where they can be among similarly gorgeous folks. People who swam in alligator-infested lakes in South Carolina and lived to tell about it attempt to repeat the experience in Florida, which has a denser population of gators. Then there are the “only in Florida” drug experiences. How mellow to smoke weed while canoeing through a mangrove forest! What an adventure to score drugs on the mean streets of Miami-Dade County, to do E in the shady, sweaty nightclubs in Fort Lauderdale, to drink Lean on South Beach! And those are just the places that are boring when you are sober! Imagine doing drugs at Disney World, a land of whimsy that holds appeal even for the drug naïve, even for children and for teetotal young couples seeking wholesome romance. The good news is, if you visit Florida and partake of substances, you probably won’t get caught. There are so many substance abusers in the Sunshine State that you will probably not be the one at whom the cops flash their badges. The bad news is that, if they do, you must face your criminal case in Florida, no matter how far away your home is. If you got arrested on drug charges in Florida while visiting from out of state, contact a Florida drug offenses attorney.

Man Admits to Taking Mega Dose of Adderall After High Speed Chase in Florida Keys

South Beach and the Disney theme parks are overrated Florida destinations, but the Florida Keys still have some originality. If you make it all the way to the end of the archipelago, to Key West, you can watch the descendants of Ernest Hemingway’s pet cats groom their six-toed paws in a house that has been in their polydactylic family for generations. There are alligators everywhere in Florida, but the only place in the continental United States where you can see American crocodiles is the Florida Keys.

A young man visiting from a painfully conventional bougie suburb of Washington, D.C. chose the right destination if he wanted some adventure. He also chose an interesting dose of a boring drug, so boring that you can find it in any college dorm. An adult dose of Adderall is about 20 mg of Adderall, but he took 80 mg. Police saw him speeding, and they gave chase. By the time he stopped, he had exceeded 100 miles per hour. He admitted to the police that he had taken a high dose of Adderall. He is now facing criminal charges in Florida.
