In Florida, manufacturing controlled substances is typically a felony offense, depending on the type and amount of drug involved.

The penalties will vary based upon the classification of the controlled substance, the amount, and where the offense occurred.

If a drug crime occurs within 1,000 feet of a school or church, the penalties will be enhanced, with the possibility of a minimum 3-year prison term.

Following are some of the penalties imposed if convicted of manufacturing specific controlled substances:

Drug manufacturing of Heroin, Codeine, Morphine, Cocaine, Opium, or Methadone is a second degree felony offense, punishable by up to 15 years in prison and/or up to $10,000 in fines.
Drug manufacturing of Peyote or Methamphetamine is a third degree felony, punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
