So, you just had your wisdom teeth removed, or maybe you just had knee surgery. And now you’re taking a prescription pain medication such as oxycodone. If you took it out of its original container to take it with you on the go or to place it in a pill organizer with other pills that you take daily, you could wind up in some serious legal trouble if you’re ever stopped by the police and they find the prescription medication on your person and outside of its original container. In the state of Georgia, it’s illegal to possess drugs that aren’t in their original container. Any controlled substance that is in another container or free-floating is considered to be illegal possession, which is a misdemeanor charge in Georgia and punishable by up to 12 months in jail and a $1,000 fine. This is because police are trained to assume that the individual who is in control of the pill or drug has the intent to consume, sell, or distribute it to others. Depending on the circumstances, if, during a traffic stop, police find you in control of prescription medications that are not in their original container and suspect that you took the drugs before getting behind the wheel of a motor vehicle, you could be arrested for a DUI. The bottom line is to avoid this from happening to you by keeping all medications in their original container.
