Possession of methamphetamine without a prescription is charged under which code?

• A. Health and Safety Code
• B. Penal Code
• C. Welfare and Institutions Code
• D. Vehicle Code

Answer: (D)

Possession of methamphetamine without a prescription is a drug offense handled by the Health and Safety Code. That code governs controlled substances—what you can possess, how they’re regulated, and the penalties for possession or sale. The Vehicle Code deals with driving and vehicle-related offenses, not drug possession, and the Penal Code covers crimes in general but the specific prohibition on possessing meth (a controlled substance) sits under the Health and Safety Code. So the best answer is that this offense is charged under the Health and Safety Code, with the exact section and whether it’s a misdemeanor or felony depending on quantity and prior offenses.
