Someone wants to send medicine for his mother who is suffering with an autoimmune disease. He pinged me on Facebook and said he will provide a prescription and order medicine from Amazon to my home.
Is it okay for me to help him? This is my first time carrying medicine in travel is it okay for me to carry someone's medicine?
And also I am not sure if he will be giving me an original prescription or a photocopy since that person is not in my state.
I want to help someone who is suffering from a disease but I don't want to have any problems either.
Best Answer
Do not do it.
First of all, it is likely not legal to carry medication for someone else across a border. Secondly, you do not know that what is delivered at your house is indeed medication or something that is even more not allowed across a border.
Too many people are in prison because they brought something for someone they knew across a border. You do not even know this guy, do not take that risk.
