The legal facts: It is illegal to share or sell your prescriptions
*snip*
Very interesting read(s).
Thanks for sharing.
I never realized that using prescribed medication could get a civilian into trouble. Although that only pertains to those who will report them, and who you trust knowing about it.
Now that I have been educated and know the better, and probably may or may not do it depending on what circumstances I see before making such choices.
There are no initial pardons for misplaced suspects who go to jail for their unintentional involvement with something, accidental or not, as they end up going straight into the bars.
I suppose ultimately it boils down to the case of personal opinion.
If one thinks it's a bad thing to take unprescribed meds, perhaps they tend to be a stickler with the laws.
If one sees justification in doing them — as in accidents, what have yous and nots, then they're on the other side no matter what their justification is for taking them.
Vis-a-vis, the law's the law, and it's enforced for a reason.
Then there are those that will bend or utilize it to their way of seeing it.
There are those who will go gungho past the point of simplicity and the norm to enforce sticking up.
IE's: Patients suing doctors for little things that may seem trivial to one, but a big deal for them.
Doctors passing their confidentiality trust to give info about another patient.
That's how we're split on the Rush thing. Some aren't seeing him doing such a bad thing, while others feel that he's a bad guy.
I do have to say though that I like the idea of your husband putting his meds in a dispenser. A good friend of mine who is totally blind, diabetic and takes over 20 different pills/day used a cardboard box with inserts to separate her meds. It worked great and she was able to identify the correct meds according to their position (i.e. row) in the box.
