The CSA mandates that the first offense of simple possession carry a sentence of up to one year in jail, a fine of $1,000 or both. The consequences increase with multiple offenses.
Prescription drugs that come from foreign countries can also be ordered from Web sites. Some of these sites provide prescriptions written by "cyber doctors" through online questionnaires. These are not considered valid prescriptions and trying to fill one may be punishable by imprisonment under federal law. It is also a felony to import drugs into the United States
and ship them somewhere not approved by the DEA.
The American Medical Association and state boards of medicine and pharmacy have all condemned the practice of online pharmacies because applicants run the risk of receiving the wrong drugs, tainted or expired drugs or the wrong dosage strength. Often, these prescriptions have no dosage directions or warnings.

Sarah doesn't have a problem taking painkillers, although it is written directly on the bottle, "CAUTION: Federal law prohibits transfer of this drug to any person other than the patient for whom prescribed."

TEN WARNING SIGNS OF PRESCRIPTION PAINKILLER DEPENDENCY
Usage increase Over time, it is common for individuals taking prescription medications to grow tolerant of the effects of their prescribed dose.

Time spent obtaining prescriptions A dependant person will spend large amounts of time driving great distances and visiting multiple doctors to obtain the drugs. Watch for signs that he or she seems preoccupied with a quest for medication, demonstrating that the drug has become their
Ongoing use
Ongoing use
Continued use after a medical condition has improved will result in the person needing prescription extensions.
The person might talk of how they need just a little longer on the medication in order to get well. He or she might also complain frequently about doctors who refused to write the prescription for one reason or another.
Increased sensitivity Normal sights, sounds and emotions might become overly stimulating to the person. Hallucinations are also possible.
Blackouts and forgetfulness Another clear indication of dependence is when the person regularly forgets what's happened and suffers blackouts.
Defensiveness Abusers can become very defensive if they feel their secret is being discovered. They might even react to simple requests or questions by lashing out.
Neglect responsibilities
A dependent person may call in sick to work more often, or neglect school and bills.
