Hi Mama,
Yes you can do 180 days. But the next year you can not as they "carry forward" some of the days. If you go each and every year the maximum stay ends up being 120 days per calendar year. You can stay longer--but there is a form that must be filled out for the US income tax folks where you must prove you have stronger ties to Canada than USA. If you are full time, as I am, that might get dicey.
I think I agree with you but your way of expressing it is a little misleading. The maximum stay is 182 days per year (immigration), but if you average over 120 days per year you MUST fill out a form 8840 for IRS.
I honestly don't know what the rules are for the OPs drugs. We usually get our prescriptions for 180 days and carry them over the border despite stays usually 120-150 days.
