Is a drug legal or illegal?
This depends on a few different things. You may be prescribed a medication, and when you get it and use it properly, it is legal. If it is the kind of drug that people misuse and you lose, sell or give it away, it becomes illegal. You and the person who receives it would be in trouble if you sell or give it away. Drugs that are prepared in home 'labs' are always illegal. Medical marijuana poses an interesting dilemma. In states that support medical marijuana, it is considered legal (if properly handled and distributed) under state law. But federal law holds that marijuana is illegal everywhere in the US regardless of state law.
