| That it is illegal for an individual to place and or transport pills that are prescribed to him in anything but their original container? |
Keep them in the original container, or have a prescription written by a doctor. I doubt you would ever have a problem unless you happen to be doing something you're not supposed to. |
The term 'close at hand' is pretty vague. One jury might say within 3 feet, while another might just buy across town at your house. |
It was great. Air America jizzed in thier pants about the bust, but they forgot to mention that it is legal in Florida to have another persons name on the bottle for privacy as long as the doc wrote the prescription that way. Sorry, nothing to see here other than a middle-aged balding man who needs help getting it up. A bit surprised that the homo at Air America was bagging on him for having Viagra, though. Maybe if Rush needed to butt-fuck some dude it would have been cool. |

... Funny thing you ask. ... I really don't know the correct answer, but I just got home from Europe last night. I specifically kept my 'scrips in the current containers exactly because of the same concern you have. ... Don't believe anything would have become of it but I wanted to be more safe than sorry. The only thing I was a bit worried about was a prescription of Valium® I asked my doc for in case I got edgy on the long flight - didn't need 'em, Jack Daniels worked just fine. I'll just throw the Valium® away now. ... Legally, I can't see anything wrong transporting drugs as long as you have an active 'scrip for them. |

I know a girl who had a presription to painkillers , she put a few into a cigarette wrapper and got pulled over and arrested for intent to resale. The prescription bottle and was in her purse along with the others, in the cigarette wrapper In court she thought she would be cleared, wrong ! Charged her ass with trafficking |
then why heck didnt she just keep them in the bottle?? that is her damn fault |
She had been somewhere and didnt take her purse, when she got back just put them in her purse, i never said it wasnt her fault, just that she was arrested for them not being in the bottle. I never said she wasnt dumb as a box of rocks either |
You're right. What a stupid, presumptuous bitch! Thinking she could carry her own lawfully owned property however she wanted to. I swear, some people. |
It is true in Florida. You can be arrested for intent to sell a controlled substance. As I said, it happened to a friend of mine. He had legally prescribed medication in a ziplock back. |

That is kinda scary. All of my medicines are from my home-country. Even if they are in their original container, they would not understand anything. hinking.gif |
Read the question first. Then read the answer. It is not true that in Florida it is illegal for the lawful possessor of a prescribed controlled substance to place and/or transport the substance in a container other than its original container. You can be arrested for possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell for having a prescribed controlled substance in its original container, if an officer is willing to swear that there is evidence that you intended to sell it. |
