Traveling with medications

[Ema]

I work out in the community and regularly deliver medications to those suffering from mental health symptoms. If I were to get pulled over (never have, knock on wood) and I have someone’s bottles of prescription medications in my car, can this result in a drug trafficking charge and loss of a license?

Despite it being my occupation, I was just wondering if there was any clarity. I could always call BON too...

Thanks!

As long as everything is properly labeled, you're not high as a kite from sampling them ("one for me, one for you!") or anything, it's no different than a pharmacy delivering medications.

If you have loose pills rolling around your car, you'll have more issues
