Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I'm not trying to accuse anyone of any wrongdoing, but if you have a prescription for a medication, and that medication is available ONLY by prescription and you want to give it to someone else that may be on that same drug, it is best to discuss that privately, not directly in the group. There are laws, both federal and state, that prohibit someone from giving another person their prescription. The DEA has the laws on their website at http://www.usdoj.gov/dea. Click on the Controlled Substances Act under Drug Policy and the Diversion Control. The penalties are also listed. You can even be arrested for drug trafficking for shipping drugs to people that were not prescribed to them unless you are licensed federally to ship prescription drugs, which usually only pharmeceutical companies and pharmacies can do. I'm guilty of giving my fiance a Lortab every now and then. My job involves dealing with law enforcement on ALL levels, municipal, state and Federal so I do have knowledge on this topic. Just wanted to throw this out there. in NM --------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
