"I've often wondered how pharmacies know if a written presciption is real or if a call or fax is real? It seems like it would be easy to fake."
Ah, the US and their "War on Drugs". I'm sorry to hear about her going to jail. How much time did she spend in jail?
Controlled substances are supposed to be phoned in or written with a DEA number attached and this is unique to the physician. I think that each doctor has their own DEA number to track their prescription of scheduled drugs.
She could have been caught because she didn't know the DEA number.
It's my own personal opinion that nonviolent drug "offenders" should not go to jail, but rather treatment centers....or scratch that, just let them off with a fine and send them to a physician who will prescribe them Xanax if they really need it.
America is a great country, but their drug policy is misguided and assumes the American people are guilty until proven innocent.
