Is it illegal to mail birth control pills?

Question

They aren't prescription or anything, they're the samples you can get from your gynocologest or planned parenthood. My friend wants some and I have a lot.. but don't want to get in trouble.. :p

Asking a question isn't cause to be called a moron. If you are going to be a jerk, don't answer questions. Which I reported, by the way.

Answer 1

It's a federal crime to send any kind of controlled substance in the mail. And because of homeland security these days, many packages are X-rayed.

Answer 2

Mail Birth Control

Answer 3

just because you got samples doesn't mean they are not a prescriptive drug, they are. Mailing prescriptive drugs with out a pharmacists license is illegal, you can be fined up to 15,000 dollars and imprisoned up to five years. Don't use the US postal service. I would put them in a box, wrap the box in foil, put that inside another box and send it UPS. That is not to say you won't still get caught, but UPS is a bit less paranoid. You have to decide if the cost of getting caught is worth sending your friend some bc pills she could get herself. Personally, I would not ask someone to do that for me, nor would I do it for anyone.

Answer 4

Then tell your friend to go to planned parenthood.

Personally I would no send any type of medication to someone else.

You might want to make sure they are not expired either. If they are throw them out.

Answer 5

Yes, it is if you're mailing them. It is only legal if the doctor/pharmacist is mailing them.

Your friend should get her own.

It is illegal for you to give her your pills.

Answer 6

I wouldn't see why i would be? check with the post office or maybe just meet her for lunch one day and exchange them there.. good luck!
