- holding that defendant’s prior convic- tion under Fla. Stat. § 893.135(1)(b) qualified as a serious drug offense because possession of more than 28 grams of cocaine implies an intent to distribute
- “Florida’s drug trafficking statute necessarily infers an intent to distribute once a defendant possesses 28 grams or more.”
