Florida Drug DUI Laws & Penalties
Under Florida law, it’s a crime to operate or drive a vehicle while under the influence of any type of drug. Even if it’s a prescription or over-the-counter medication you can still face DUI charges if the drug impairs your ability to safely drive the vehicle. In an effort to combat the amount of impaired driving that occurs, the state has enacted very strict anti-DUI laws. If you are found guilty of DUI of drugs, you could be sentenced to:
- Jail
- Large fines
- Probation
- License suspension
- Mandatory drug treatment or counseling
- Community service
