Prescription drugs are legal only if they are obtained through the proper channels and are used by or for the person they were prescribed for. Other ways of obtaining and using prescription drugs are as illegal as is use of "street drugs" such as cocaine or heroin. Were you charged with a drug crime because of allegations such as the following?
- You engaged in "doctor shopping" in order to obtain overlapping prescriptions of narcotic painkillers.
- You obtained prescription pharmaceuticals by use of a fake prescription.
- In your position as a pharmacist, pharmacist's assistant, doctor, nurse or other healthcare provider, you had access to prescription narcotics — and pilfered some of them for your own use.
- You "shared" your prescribed narcotic painkillers with another person.
