In the US, one can't legally dispense a prescription medication (for money or for free) unless authorized to do so. Buying a prescription medication from an unauthorized dispenser would be participating in a crime; therefore, a crime even if only for that reason (like the driver of a getaway car used in a bank robbery). Dispensing "controlled" medications without authorization just ups the crime to a felony.

Does the hunter have a license and are squirrels in season or seasoning?

Not all prescriptions are controlled substances, although Person A isn't likely to find much of a market for Amoxil or Keflex.
If the hunter has a license, it isn't a crime, but it sounds like Person A doesn't have a license. Big trouble. The squirrel, on the other hand, is in trouble if caught with the acorn. Consuming the acorn isn't illegal, but possessing it is.

Why are they prescribed then, instead of being available otc?
Why do I have to pay a middle man a hundred damn dollars to write me a prescription for 'not a controlled substance'. If you drive down the road with ANY prescription pills not in their proper container, [and get stopped by the popo] you will go to jail. If I can't walk into Wally World and buy it without a prescription, that is a controlled substance. In circumstance, if not on an official list. A prescription drug may not be a narcotic, or a recreational drug, but I still think that it would be a controlled substance. Then again, I'm not a doctor. Or a cop.

Because government and industry collude to take advantage of you.

I was referring to the DEA classification of controlled drugs, Schedules 1 through 5. Other prescription drugs are restricted in that they need a prescription, but aren't tracked in the same way.

I take a generic that is available OTC to combat massive acid reflux. I survive on $725 a month BEFORE I pay rent, which is almost half that amount. My OTC medication, at the cheapest local pharmacy, is $56 a month. When my 'scrip was originally written by a doctor who actually understood the nightmare that is fixed-income budgeting, it was given to me because on 'scrip the exact same month's supply cost $1.05. One dollar and one nickel. I still take it, but changes in my insurance coverage have removed all my medication copays. If not for the prescription and the insurance actually covering it, I'd have had to skip many months, possibly leading to gastric and esophageal damage that could have required tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars in hospital visits and surgeries. I am profoundly grateful to the taxpayers who fund my quiet little life and I have a strong preference for minimizing my use of community resources and avoiding any spending beyond my means. This includes keeping myself out of the ER and off the surgical table whenever possible. Added detail bonus I found out the hard way: if you do something stupid like leave the state without your tranquilizers, it is against USPS regulations to have them mailed to you in the bottle with the correct label unless NONE of the meds have been taken. |

If you're caught buying viagara, the cops can make it pretty hard for you. Used to be a short sentence, but it's getting longer. The law is quite firm about this.

I think Football is what's holding America back from going metric Games take forever in yards, it'd be almost 10% longer in meters. And the 45.72 Meter Line doesn't have the same ring to it.

Baseball is a silly game. A pitcher throws a ball towards a batter. Does the pitcher want the batter to hit the ball? No! So why does he throw it in the first place?

I may or may not have been on the buying end of a similar type of transaction before. As the substance being hypothetically purchased could also be purchased without a prescription--just at exorbitant rates--I may have decided that I had no legal culpability as long as I didn't ask too many questions, and kept my nose out of any ethical quarrels between the seller and their insurance company. |

Not to mention that you hypothetically probably didn't pay sales tax.

It was hypothetically classified as a food item, no tax levied. Also, it was hypothetically purchased across state lines, so again no sales tax.
