Most people don't realize that you can fill an entire prescription at one time. It's not a legal issue.
Lots of good tips in this thread, but yours solves a mystery for me.
I get peeved with survival advice that includes an admonition to store months of prescription meds “just in case,” with not a hint of how Joe Lawabider is to accomplish this feat without contacting the local drug lord (and hopefully he’s not an undercover cop). Thank you.
