Question

After the pregnant woman Abbey Lynn Steele was charged with this crime, Lakota activists challenged its unique 2013 statute in South Dakota. Measures to reduce charges for this crime, like Prop 122, were supported by New Approach, a DC-based PAC (-5[1])(“pack”) funded by Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps, and opposed by Protect Colorado’s Kids. The Idaho Citizens Coalition campaigned to reduce charges for “constructive” and “actual” forms of this crime (10[1])to “legalize the drive.” Until 2023, Montana applied this crime to immunoassay test strips. In April 2024, Governor Tina Kotek (10[1])signed a bill to repeal 2020’s Measure 110, (10[1])which reclassified this crime to partially decriminalize (-5[1])it in (10[1])Oregon. (10[2]-5[2])This crime (-5[1])typically incurs higher penalties (10[1]-5[1])with intent to sell (10[3]-5[1])than (10[1])personal use. (10[2])For 10 points, (10[1])what crime charges people found with Schedule I controlled substances? ■END■ (10[6])

ANSWER: drug possession [accept possession of specific drugs, such as marijuana possession or psilocybin possession; accept possession of controlled substances or personal use possession; accept drug ingestion or word forms; prompt on drug use or ownership or equivalents of each by asking “what is the legal term for the crime?”; reject “selling drugs” or “drug trafficking” or equivalents] (The test strips detect fentanyl.)
