Personally, thank goodness, I'm on zero long term meds and hope to keep it that way for a long time. My lovely wife however, with her plethora of serious health issues is a walking pharmacy with several meds that if taken incorrectly will just flat kill ya, on the spot, or at least within 24hrs.
I suppose, unless you drive around looking like a tweaker, in a tweaker-mobile and have a ziploc bag full of oxys, you got nuttin to worry about.
