A family member of mine takes prescribed pain meds (Norco) and still drives around. He's been doing this for a few years. I always come up with an excuse when he asks if my kids want to go somewhere with him. Is it against the law to drive when you take a high amt of prescribed pain meds?

He is prescribed this medication for a legitimate reason.

YES, that is called a DUI. I f he is driving using narcotics then he is putting everyone on the road and in the car at risk for serious injury. If he gets caught then he could go to jail.

I take oxycodone 30mg 4 times a day and have no problem, nor do any of my riders notice any difference. I am opiod tolerant however, as I have been prescribed this med for years. For someone brand new, be careful.

Yes it is called Driving Under the Influence. This includes any chemical which can hinder your motor skills.
