Is it illegal to send perscription drugs through the mail?
Question:
Answers:
Yes. If you feel that the prescription would work for another individual, it is safer for you to give them the name and have them contact their physician.
It's illegal to transport any drugs across state lines, even by mail, which runs into federal jurisdiction. That's means that if you are caught, Attorney General can pursue you and the Federal government under the postoffice or mail carrier or parcel regulations.
yes it is
the prescription is only for the person that's name is on the bottle and for no one else under any circumstances
I think the others may have misunderstood the question. or maybe I'm misinterpreting it.
You CAN have prescriptions sent to you... as long as the prescription is for you. I've worked with and have seen a few companies that send prescriptions to their customers by mail (Liberty Mutual advertises on the TV a lot). I'm not totally certain if those companies each sent prescriptions by USPS, UPS, FedEx, or which company they used. but the USPS website specifies:
"Some things cannot be mailed or can be mailed only in small quantities for safety and legal reasons. Some items have restrictions on how they can be mailed, including:
· Aerosol cans
· Firearms
· Flammable materials
· Liquids and powders
· Lottery tickets
· Poisons
Some items, however, are not permitted in the mail, including:
· Alcoholic beverages
· Ammunition
· Drug paraphernalia
· Fireworks and other explosives"
They may get caught up under the "drug paraphernalia" section with the USPS, but I don't think some of the other shipping companies have that restriction.
