DOES ARIZONA TREAT PRESCRIPTION DRUGS CRIMES TREATED DIFFERENTLY FROM OTHER ILLEGAL DRUGS?
No, in Arizona, possession of a prescription drug is a felony no different from possession and use of any other illegal drug, which is a class 4 felony. Forging or altering a prescription is also a class 4 felony in the state of Arizona. After surgery or an illness, doctors routinely prescribe many patients painkiller, such as OxyContin, Vicodin or any number of other drugs. Sometimes these patients have a hard time stopping use of these drugs and resort to either buying the drug illegally or altering prescriptions.
