In California, it is illegal to willfully possess illegal controlled substances, such as LSD, heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana. Furthermore it is illegal to willfully possess "precursor" drugs, which could aid in producing or using illegal controlled substances.

Depending on the amount and type of drug, charges will vary. If it is an unusually large amount, it is likely a person may be charged with "intent to distribute" as well.
