Orlando-Tampa-Daytona Beach Prescription Drug Charges Attorneys
Oxycodone crimes are a big deal in Florida. In fact, a recent news report found that more than 80 percent of all Oxycodone prescriptions in America are filled in the state of Florida.
Given the significance of the Oxycodone problem in Florida, law enforcement officers aggressively investigate such offenses and prosecutors take such charges very seriously. In addition, Florida has some of the toughest Oxycodone laws in the nation. Possession of any mixture containing just four grams of Oxycodone is enough to sustain a conviction for drug trafficking. Even though pills of Oxycodone are not pure Oxycodone, the entire amount of each pill is weighed in determining the amount of Oxycodone for prosecution purposes.
If you are facing Oxycodone charges, contact the Law Offices of Mark L. Horwitz in Orlando, Florida. We defend clients against all Oxycodone offenses, including possession, trafficking and possession with intent to distribute.
Oxycodone | OxyContin | Roxicodone
Oxycodone is the active ingredient in several prescription pain medications, including OxyContin and Roxicodone. It is an addictive pain killer. Many people who have become addicted to Oxycodone started using the drug after an accident or injury and under the supervision of a doctor.
As individuals become addicted to pain killers, however, they may feel the need to doctor shop, forge prescriptions or find other ways to get their hands on large amounts of pills. Such actions can result in criminal charges and the possibility of significant criminal penalties.
With the significant demand for Oxycodone, it now sells for a high price on the streets. As a result, many people now sell Oxycodone to obtain enough money to support their own Oxycodone use or to make a profit.
