1. SMH. But wait, let me get this straight. If I have a pack of progesterone tabs on me

but don't have a written prescription - I can go to jail?

Does it work that way for birth control too?

I always assumed just having the bottle / packet labeled from the pharmacy was sufficient. Even for oxycodone. Or did this woman have the drugs but not in the pharmacy packaging?

Sorry if this is a bit of a tangent. I'm just wondering if that's even a real law in the first place. Or were they just trying to hassle her in every way possible, never mind if there isn't even a law?
