Actual Possession is best described as which of the following?

• A. Physical control of banned items on my person
• B. Possession of items not on my person but in places I control
• C. Control of items but not knowledge
• D. Ownership of the property used

Answer: (B)

Actual possession means you have control over items even if they aren’t in your hands at the moment. In this context, you’re considered to possess something if you can exercise dominion over it in a place you control—like in a bag, vehicle, or room you own or control. That’s why the best description is owning or controlling items that are not on your person but are within your reach or area of control, because possession hinges on the ability to exercise control, not necessarily physical contact.

The other descriptions don’t fit this sense because they focus on items you hold directly on your body, on knowledge rather than control, or on ownership of property rather than control over the item itself.
