Is it illegal to carry ADHD medications?
Note: This FAQ was prompted by questions we have received about interactions some young people have had with police and other law enforcement agencies. Law enforcement officers are vigilant about prescription medication abuse, especially among teenagers and young adults. If you come to the attention of the police for another problem such as a traffic violation or disorderly conduct, and you are carrying AD/HD medication in an unmarked container, you may be at greater risk of being suspected of illegal use of a controlled substance.
