Attorney Todd Spodek and our skilled and experienced team of federal criminal defense lawyers can help you every step of the way.
Understanding Federal Drug Offenses
The majority of drug laws are contained in Title 21 of the United States Code. Federal law designates each drug as belonging to one of five “schedules” based on a variety of factors, including the drug’s potential for abuse, scientific evidence of the drug’s pharmacological effects, and more. After considering all of these factors, the drug is categorized into one of the five schedules. Schedule I drugs, for example, have a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use in the United States, and lack accepted safety for use under medical supervision. Examples of Schedule I drugs include marijuana and heroin.
Drug Cultivation and Possession
It is illegal to grow, sell, distribute, transport, possess or traffic marijuana under federal law. Most federal cultivation cases that involve marijuana are prosecuted as a felony federal drug crime, and a cultivating offense includes possession of marijuana seeds, planting seeds, and drying and processing the plants. If you are convicted, you could be facing jail time, probation, large fines, and even asset forfeiture of your personal property.
Drug possession charges range from state crimes like possession of marijuana or drug paraphernalia to felony crimes such as drug trafficking and drug conspiracy. In Tampa, federal drug crimes can include manufacturing, trafficking, smuggling of illegal drugs, and marijuana cultivation. If you are facing criminal charges, it is in your best interest to speak with a qualified attorney.
Drug Importation, Manufacturing, Smuggling, and Trafficking
Drug importation, manufacturing, smuggling, and trafficking charges can lead to serious consequences, including imprisonment, large fines, and a permanent criminal history. At Spodek Law Group, we have extensive experience helping clients who have found themselves facing these charges.

DRUG CONSPIRACY
A drug conspiracy charge is a very serious crime in the United States. A drug conspiracy occurs when two or more individuals agree to violate drug laws. These agreements can be informal or formal, and can involve either drug possession or drug trafficking. In a drug conspiracy case, the government must prove that the accused individuals had an agreement to commit a drug crime, and that they took some overt act in furtherance of the agreement.
In federal drug conspiracy cases, the prosecution can use a variety of evidence to prove the charges against the accused individuals. This evidence can include wiretaps, surveillance videos, drug transactions, and witness testimony. If you have been charged with a drug conspiracy, it is important to seek the help of an experienced federal criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.
