What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? AZ. I am currently being investigated for the sale of a prescription drug (steriods). What is the difference of a illegal drug and a prescription drug in legal terms.

One is prescribed by a physician: prescribed drug.

One is not and obtained by fraudulent means: illegal drug. The drug itself may not be illegal but still is a controlled substance and possession of without a prescription or dispensing without a license to do so is CRIMINAL.

Simple legal definiton....If you want the state statute definition/criminal code, I can grab it for you.
