What is Drug Possession?
Drug possession refers to having illegal or controlled substances on your person, in your vehicle, in your home, or under your control. In California, many substances are classified as controlled substances under the Health and Safety Code, including cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, ecstasy, and certain prescription medications that are possessed without a valid prescription.
You can be accused of drug possession even if the drugs are not physically in your hand or pocket. If law enforcement believes you had knowledge of the drugs and had access or control over them, that may be enough for an arrest. For example, if illegal drugs are found in a shared car or apartment and police believe they belong to you, you could still face criminal charges.
There are two main types of possession crimes:
- Simple possession – drugs possessed for personal use
- Possession for sale – possession of a larger quantity, often accompanied by evidence such as baggies, scales, or cash
The prosecutors will attempt to determine which type of possession they believe occurred, and the penalties can vary significantly.
