Deh...

Some people are so dumb.

The following offer was posted on freecycle last night:

My doctor prescribed one drug for a sciatica problem, then changed to another when
the desired effect wasn't realized. I have a factory-sealed bottle of 90 capsules of
gabapentin 300mg (the generic of Neurontin), and an open bottle of 100 capsules
which is approximately half full.

While I no longer have a use for the drug, understandably, the pharmacy will not
take back a script once it's been dispensed. By Walgreen prices, what's here would
cost around $150, so it would be a real waste to toss if someone can use it. But
since this is a prescription medicine, I will only give it to an adult who can
produce a current prescription bottle for Neurontin/gabapentin 300mg, along with
identification (eg: drivers license) matching the name on the bottle.

The offer was withdrawn this morning with this explanation:

Is this legal to do, you ask? Umm... apparently not, as I was so informed in a call
from the local police this morning, in response to a call that they received
concerning the offer. I was under the impression that, since gabapentin is not a
"controlled substance," I was not prevented from giving it to someone who could
prove that they have a valid prescription for it. I stand corrected.


So...I wonder if this guy got busted by the police or if he just got a warning...
