I cannot understand how people get arrested for simply possessing control substances. My understanding of the ultimate user law is this. The law allows someone to get high, their family to get high, or their animals to get high. As long as they don't sell it, administer to someone outside my family, or distribute it, they are within the law. Ultimate user laws are found in many state statutes and there is a federal ultimate user law. How does the arrest and prosecution work for people simply possessing control substance? What happen?


Wisconsin Ultimate User Law
“Definitions. As used in this chapter:
"Ultimate user" means an individual who lawfully possesses a controlled substance for that individual's own use or for the use of a member of that individual's household or for administering to an animal owned by that individual or by a member of that individual's household. “ –Wisconsin Statutes 961.01

“Possession authorization.
(1)  Persons registered under federal law to manufacture, distribute, dispense or conduct research with controlled substances may possess, manufacture, distribute, dispense or conduct research with those substances in this state to the extent authorized by their federal registration and in conformity with the other provisions of this chapter.
(2) The following persons need not be registered under federal law to lawfully possess controlled substances in this state:

Indiana Ultimate User Law

The answers simple and common knowledge; controlled substances are physician prescribed, requiring proper pharma labeling.

Possession without the above is a sure indication they've been illegally obtained by you or another and sold on the street.
