Drug possession is typically considered one of the "lesser" drug crimes, but in some situations it may be charged as a felony and may be punishable by imprisonment in state prison, along with heavy fines and other serious penalties. This offense involves having an unlawful controlled substance in one's possession, whether on one's property or person. The type of drug and the amount are the factors that will influence the particular severity of penalties that the court may impose. If large quantities of drugs are involved or such evidence as large amounts of cash, measuring scales or address books is discovered, this may mean that the defendant will face possession for sale or even drug trafficking charges in some cases.

As an example, possession of cocaine, heroin or the prescription drugs codeine or hydrocodone may be charged as a felony in Santa Ana, California and may be punishable by up to 3 years in state prison.
