California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Juan R. (In re Juan R.), A142715 (Cal. App. 2015):
The People again concede that a knowledge element should be added. (See People v. Rodriguez, supra, 222 Cal.App.4th at pp. 593-594 [explicit knowledge requirement added to cure vagueness of "intoxicants"].) Accordingly, we will modify the challenged condition to read: "Do not knowingly use or possess narcotics, drugs, other controlled substances, related paraphernalia or poisons unless prescribed by a physician."
