A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Possess means to own, occupy, physically hold, or have under one’s complete control.

For example, in the context of controlled substances, a person possesses a controlled substance when they know what it is, know it's there, and have control over it. In the context of property, to possess a property means to use or occupy it, and the hallmark of control is the ability to admit or exclude others from the property.
