just let it go and move on. You are saying BALCO was worth it? Millions spent. This...more millions.
You're kidding, right?
Quick search pulled this from ruaneattorneys.com. This appears to apply specifically to Connecticut, but let's see where it goes in general:
Prescription drugs are controlled substances. Possession or use of a prescription drug is illegal unless it is done with a legitimate prescription from a medical practitioner. Likewise, it is illegal to sell or possess with the intent to sell a prescription drug without being a medical practitioner who is authorized to do so.

It is illegal to possess a prescription drug without a legitimate prescription from a medical practitioner. ... Additionally, it is a crime to sell or possess with the intent to sell a prescription drug without the proper authority to do so. ...
"Sale" is any form of delivery, which includes barter, exchange or gift, or offer therefor, and each such transaction made by any person whether as principal, proprietor, agent, servant or employee.
Connecting the dots is simple.

If your argument is that the law ought to be changed, then make that argument. If your argument is that the laws currently on the books should not be enforced (and this is what it appears your post intends), I'm interested to know which laws should not be enforced, or if wealth and fame ought to give a person special treatment.
