Comments
It is unlawful to sell or manufacture all of the controlled substances listed in § 893.02, Fla. Stat. However, only certain controlled substances qualify for prosecution under the trafficking statute, § 893.135, Fla. Stat. Accordingly, the exact nature of the substance must be proven if the State is prosecuting under the trafficking prong of § 893.1351(2), Fla. Stat.
A special instruction will be required if the defense is that the defendant did not know of the illicit nature of the controlled substance. See § 893.101, Fla. Stat. 
A special instruction may be required to address the nexus between a conveyance, place, structure, trailer, and the drug activity. See Hunt v. State, 256 So. 3d 243 (Fla. 2d DCA 2018) and Delgado-George v. State, 125 So. 3d 1031 (Fla. 2d DCA 2013).
§ 893.1351(1) and (2), Fla. Stat., require that the place will be used for certain drug-related activity while § 893.1351(3), Fla. Stat., requires that the place was being used to manufacture a controlled substance. See Zeigler v. State, 198 So. 3d 1005 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016). 
This instruction was adopted in 2020.
