I've had that discussion myself with a friend in Metairie years ago who'd just finished a two year stretch, his lawyer explained it to him this way: "Look, son, I've been doing these cases for 20 years now, and the one thing that the defense can't figure is what a "90-day supply" is. The D*A doesn't define a tablet, or a capsule, or a ml. of liquid as a "dose", they define it as a "unit" - For example, if the standard dosage unit for, say, Adderall is 20g, then every 30mg tablet you buy counts as a unit and a half". In my buddy's case, he really got screwed - He bought a 1000 count "tub" of 5mg British Dispensary Anabol, but the prosecutor said they'd probably have let that slide, as those tubs are pretty much the smallest order you can make if you want real Dianabol - Loosely packed tabs in bags are fakes most of the time, so they tend to just send LLs when they find those. Where he got screwed was in ordering 5 vials of a "super-test" mix that was composed of 400mg of Testosterone per 1ml., and the definition (at that time, at least - who knows what it is now) of a unit of testosterone was 200mg per 1 ml. So they calculated the total units of Testosterone at 20 units per vial rather than 10 units per vial, and those 100 units, plus the 250 units they calculated the tub of Anabol at (standard dosage on that one is 4 tabs per day, so 1000 / 4 came out to 250 units) came out to 300 units - 100 units or less is where they generally draw the line. So that got him a possession with intent, not just a simple possession, he's lucky he had a 100% clean record before that bust, and they counted trial time towards time served, and he was paroled early for good behavior.
That's the problem with the 90-day rule - The prosecutor decides what a 90-day supply is, you don't, and they play fast and loose with those guidelines. In the end, if they are interested in you, they are going to get you, there's no equation you can come with that will get you off the hook.
