This is a debate currently going on in another board, and it centers mainly on whether or not a pharmacy is allowed to have "fake XX" to give to people who try to steal or forcefully take these pills from the pharmacies. Also, if someone could point me to where I could find this information for myself, I would appreciate it.

is going like this. there is unlawful and there is prosecutable. The case isn't unlawful. that's arrestable and prosecutable however. meaning a cop can arrest you on probably reason. The prosecutor can prosecute you. Then youwoud ought to look after your self. Neither of that are exciting. I woudl propose that in case you will use a pill case, you preserve a replica of your prescription on your wallet/handbag. in case you do not have the unique then test the bottle a minimum of. If that's an ongoing prescription i could save a minimum in and previous bottle with the prescription on it. do no longer return and forth with a volume such via fact the full bottle to ward off arrest. It makes you look very virtually as undesirable. As seize 22 as that could look. It additionally makes it plenty greater possibly which you get stolen from and makes you look greater like a broking or gifter for others. thechurchofdave youtube comedian musician logician

If people want to steal medication then I applaud the fact that the pharmacy will give you sugar pills instead. People who break the law only have themselves to blame.
However if you want to find placebos actually for sale just look for any "medication" labelled homeopathic.

Placebos are used only in clinical trials, under controlled conditions and therefore are not available to the general public. While it might not be illegal for pharmacies to stock them, why should they do so when they can't legally sell them?

Some doctors will prescribe placebos for patients that really have nothing wrong with them but insist on some sort of pill to cure them. I wouldn't be surprised they are in the pharmacy.

No, it isn't illegal. It would only be unlawful if they were selling placebo's in place of legitimate pills. It makes allot of sense for them to have these on hand to give them out in place of the legal narcotics that some would steel or rob for.
