Sharing Prescription Drugs

I know that I should know the answer to this...

I was on a trip with some of my friends recently and heard something that really concerned me and made me wonder what my obligation was, as an RN. "Susie" forgot her Ambien for sleep, so "Jane" said, "Here, I have a muscle relaxer that you can take." I said, "Absolutely not, you can't take someone else's prescription drugs!" Would doing so be a felony and am I mandated to report it if they had actually gone through with this?

Woah, everyone put down your rocks!! Public stoning for asking a question of my peers in what, I thought, was a safe forum? I DID NOT say this was a felony and I DID NOT report them. I was trying to ask if I had done something wrong in not taking it more seriously. I DID NOT lecture them.

I think my biggest mistake in this was in not just quietly doing my own research online and in thinking I could ask a question without being attacked and ridiculed....

I'll go back to my hole now....feel free to kick me as I leave.....

Okay - lets cool it

I think the OP got answers but perhaps not what they wanted.
