What quantity threshold for cannabis constitutes trafficking?

• A. Over 50 grams.
• B. Over 25 pounds or over 300 plants.
• C. Over 100 pounds.
• D. Over 10 kilograms.

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is the quantity that triggers a trafficking charge for cannabis in Florida. Florida law defines trafficking in cannabis by two thresholds: 25 pounds or more of cannabis, or 300 or more cannabis plants. Reaching either of these amounts upgrades the offense to trafficking, which carries harsher penalties than simple possession or possession with intent to sell. Amounts below these thresholds are charged as lesser offenses, such as possession or possession with intent to distribute, depending on the case. So the correct threshold is 25 pounds or 300 plants, reflecting bulk quantity or cultivation volume that indicates large-scale distribution.
