As long as you're talking about a small amount of the substance, it is probably a misdemeanor. It depends on the state and whether the substance is marijuana or a schedule 1 or 2 drug.

yes. possession of a schedule two drug with out a prescription is a felony. However it is often downgraded to some other charge depending on the circumstances. Some mitigating factors are. how much, where you under the influence, where you in possession with the intent to distribute? Are you a prior offender, etc.

No, not unless you are selling it.
What if you are holding a med in your pocketbook for your parent, or grandparent, whom you take care of? They can't say that you can't possess the drug if your parent or grandparent cannot take care of their self.
What if you are holding a drug that your child takes? (ritalin? adderrall?--those are controlled substances) You have to be in charge of that.
This is why it is not a felony.
However if you are buying and selling controlled substances on your own and they are not perscribed for anyone. Then yes, that is a felony depending on how much you have and what it is.

Depends on the amount, the state in which you are, and the type of drug.

I'm not all that familiar on US laws (I got a criminal law degree in Canadian law, but it's not all that different), but I would imagine that it depends on what state, how much you have, and what your intent was with it (to take it for yourself or trafficking it). Even in Canada, it's a "dual procedure offense," meaning that it can be tried as a summary (our version of misdemeanor) or indictable (felony).
