There is no doubt that prescription drugs save a life. But few people abuse these medicines and use them as addictive drugs. Thus, law enforcement is very strict about dealing with prescription drugs. To stop the abuse of these drugs, many states in the USA have passed strict laws against it. According to federal and state law, any possession of a usable prescription drug without a prescription is a felony. For such type of offense, they have sanction three to five years of jail time.
