drugs of abuse
Does the government require a prescription for a CPAP machine because a CPAP is considered a drug of abuse? If I buy a used machine without a prescription have either the seller or I broken the law? How many years will I be in prison if I am caught?

Yes, because they're regulated by the FDA.

No.

The seller of a new machine requires a prescription to sell it but is the only one on the hook if they don't get one.

Re: drugs of abuse
How much trouble is the seller in? If I buy from him or her knowing I do not have a prescription have I entered into a conspiracy, as defined in the Federal RICO? If so how much prison time do I face?

Re: drugs of abuse
Why would somebody want one if it were not needed?

Many laws exist, but are not enforced; because to do so is just plain SILLY.
--Also embarrassing, and would create bad publicity.

It's NOT illegal for individuals to buy and sell these devices.
For all intents and purposes, the only entity which has to require a prescription is the one selling new devices, or "dealers" which have to comply with FDA rules.
Got it?

Place a bunch of burning pot in the intake portal of the machine, put the machine on, put on your mask, and have sweet dreams
Re: drugs of abuse
Just may be me, but somehow I don't think this would be suggested by a doctor or any member of the forum. Did you do this? How did it go?lastlib wrote:Place a bunch of burning pot in the intake portal of the machine, put the machine on, put on your mask, and have sweet dreams

Personally I'm not willing to give legal advice. I would suggest consulting with a lawyer if you are truly worried.

If you use it without a prescription, not knowing the proper settings to use, it can cause all kinds of trouble. Health trouble, not legal...

Re: drugs of abuse
I think lastlib is just having fun with a silly law/silly idea.
I do believe that buying a used machine without INSPECTING it is a bad idea.
. . . especially checking the smell--both inert and running.
Possession of mj might be determined from smoke residue inside.
Draconian solons!
