The statute that determines drug possession says:

"(7) "Drug possession offense" means an offense under: (a) Subsection 58-37-8(2), except any offense under Subsection 58-37-8(2)(b)(i), possession of 100 pounds or more of marijuana, any offense enhanced under Subsection 58-37-8(2) (e), violation in a correctional facility or Subsection 58-37-8(2)(g), driving with a controlled substance illegally in the person's body and negligently causing serious bodily injury or death of another; (b) Subsection 58-37a-5(1), use or possession of drug paraphernalia; (c) Section 58-37b-6, possession or use of an imitation controlled substance;"

So the statute will have to be: 58-37-8(2)% NOT 58-37-8(2)(b)(ii) NOT 58-37-8(2)(e) NOT 58-37-8(2)(g), OR 58-37a-5(1)% OR Section 58-37b-6%
