In such a case, you demonstrate my point that the officer will attempt
to identify the drugs.  And in the instance you cite, where you 
establish that the drugs were not obtained pursuant to a valid 
prescription from his physician (assuming a regulated substance) he 
would be charged with the illegal possesion/use.  Had he been able to
establish that he had a valid prescription, he would probably have been
just charged with operating under the influence if it applied; no?
