I think as long as you could prove you have a prescription, any charges would be dropped. You may want to carry a copy of said prescription with you. If you explain to your doctor what you want it for, and you don't have a history of abuse, you could probably get this without needing to pilfer from your toothache stash. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

If your doctor won't do it, ask why and then go find another doctor who will. Carry the prescription with you.

Not sure how cops would handle this as there are a LOT of folks who carry around their meds every day and some of them are pretty hard core. I would suspect that unless you are a junkie or they are looking for cause, you'd be fine. And if they are looking for cause, well... look out because there's a lot of leeway in the books now.

I'm not sure if vacuum packed vicodin or T3 in your pocket survival kit next to the bandaids and water purification tabs will raise any suspicion, but if you have a prescription, there's really no problem I can think of. Any LEOs care to comment?
