In Florida there are special drug courts. Those drug courts deal with the lowest level of drug offenses. That is, simple possession drug offenses. Most drug courts are determined that if you are a drug dealer, you are not getting the help, but if you are simply possessing drugs and illegally using them, then we will try to give you help. We will try to give you counseling.
We will try to minimize the damage that this will have to your permanent criminal history. Again, those types of drug courts are set up for those first time offenders with a minimum of criminal activity in their case.
