A substance that is accessible but not on the person is described as which type of possession?

• A. Actual possession
• B. Higher quantity
• C. Constructed possession
• D. Brady Doctrine

Answer: (C)

Constructive possession is when you don’t physically carry the item on your person, but you have the power and intent to control it, and it’s within your reach or within your reach of your control. So something that’s accessible but not on the body fits this type because the key idea is control over the item even without actual physical custody. If it were actual possession, the item would be on you or in your immediate physical control. A higher quantity isn’t describing a mode of possession, just how much there is. And the Brady Doctrine is about prosecutorial disclosure obligations, not possession categories.
