When I was in Arkansas got addicted to Oxycotton or Hillbilly Heroin. But got that from a back door doctor. Who was also addicted to Opiods. Since then I have been clean and the only drugs I use is the occasional joint liquor and have a script for generic xanax which I don't take with me because don't want my vehicle busted into. I have one in a pill box. And yes before you say it I know that if I get pulled over or something and the fuzz finds it I am pretty much screwed but most cops don't know what the generic looks like.

The whole "original bottle" thing has exceptions in some states for things like pill organizers or those little containers clearly marked as for medical items, like people carry nitro in for angina. Dunno where you are, but there's a decent chance you'd be fine. That's just for casual conversation, not any kind of disagreement or hassling you.

But, yeah, I feel you. I'm a chronic pain patient, and I used to have three different opiates prescribed. Got tired of it before I got hooked luckily. But I carry my breakthrough meds on my person, or lock them in my car safe (that's a thing!).

Nowadays, it's NSAIDs and anti-spasm options instead of opiates because they're more hassle than they're worth for me. Just not willing to jump through hoops and be treated like a child because I'm in pain.

It's kinda scary how many doctors end up addicted to either opiates or amphetamines.

As a nurse working in Washington State and smoking a joint. Cops asked me if they could search me and found half a xanax in my pill box. Then since it wasn't in an orange bottle with my name on it is considered illegal apparently. They booked me and the whole nine yards spent two nights in jail. My mom called the local bail bondsman and got me bailed out. I paid her back but it was a fucked up situation. Maybe its because I am black...no playing the race card but 2 days for alprolazem a half pill is kind of fucked up.

It's definitely fucked up, and considering the history the "justice" system has with anyone not lily white, I kinda suspect that was in play.
