A member asked:

Is it legal for my sister to mail my pills through the mail?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

If for you: If they are specifically prescribed for you, then yes. Lots of mail order pharmacies exist for this purpose. It's cheaper and after a doctor prescribes it, a pharmacist mails it to the recipient.

Yes: As long as they meet ordinary postal regulations, you can mail anything but explosives and some inflammables.
