What are the laws concerning sending prescrition meds via the mail?

Your daughter came very close to breaking the law. Nobody but the person named on the prescription can legally take the drugs. Plus, it is VERY stupid to take welbutrin without being under a doctors care.

Putting it in the mail would just make it a federal crime instead of a state crime. If you daughter's doctor has taken her off of the drug you need to flush them down the toilet.

Yes, she can. Every prescription bottle in my house has this on it:

"Caution: Federal law prohibits the transfer of this drug to any person other than the patient for whom it was prescribed."

If your daughter's friend thinks she needs a prescription drug, she needs to go to a doctor.

If she is sending drugs that aren't going to the person on the script, and they are opened by a postal inspector, she might well have a problem.

YOu did the right thing.
