In the US, it is legal to possess certain drugs. For example, over-the-counter medications like aspirin and ibuprofen are legal for anyone to purchase and possess. However, illegal drugs, such as heroin, ecstasy and marijuana, are not legal for anyone to possess without a prescription from a doctor. There are also some prescription medications that are illegal to possess unless you have a prescription from a doctor. To be sure of what substances are legal or illegal in the US, one should research them thoroughly or consult an attorney specializing in drug laws.

In the United States, it is illegal to possess or use drugs, both legal and illegal, without proper authorization. Legal status of a drug can depend on a number of factors, such as its use and form. The best way to determine the legal status of any drug is to check with your state or local laws or check the website of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Additionally, be aware that certain medicines available over-the-counter (OTC) in other countries are illegal without a prescription in the US.
