That it is illegal for an individual to place and or transport pills that are prescribed to him in anything but their original container?

Yes. They need to be in the contanier with the label on them that shows they are yours and what they are.

ETA-You can put them in another container but the original bottle and label needs to be close at hand.

While it is true most don't bother unless they think that they my be dealing with class III drugs or the person involved has a past history of drug trafficing.
Yes I know you are making a valed referance to Rush's viagra problem.

yup, so in theory those pill organizer things labeled Mon-Sun are illegal.

To quote Rush,

"I told my doctor I was worried about the next election, not-"

Yes, it is. A friend of mine was arrested for that very thing.

I "know" someone who is medicated for add and carry their meds from their mom's over to their dads? Is that illegal? If so can someone show me the written law?

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 is not true in Florida, and I am unaware of any federal prohibition on going to work with you mid-day dose of blood pressure medicine loose in your pocket.

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

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

I just had a thought:  What if some one died because the cops took away their meds?

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.

I've flown hundreds of times with my meds (allergy, sleeping, acid blockers, etc...) in unmarked containers.  Nobody ever asked anything.  Keeping them in containers with someone else's name on it though would likely have raised an eyebrow.
