Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Re: drug

If you are convicted for possession of Xanax (alprazolam), a felony, you face up to 5 years in Florida State prison, plus you can lose your license for 2 years.

However, first time offenders are often offered probation, sometimes "drug offender probation," whereby the charge is dismissed upon successful completion of a rehabilitation-oriented treatment program.

If the court "withholds adjudication," you are not formally convicted, don't lose your license, and the case can be "sealed" from public record following probation.

Felony, prison time possible depending on how you score.
