Legality of prescription and schedule 1 drugs in first aid kits
<p>Is it legal to keep small quantities of prescription and/or schedule 1 drugs in a first aid kit? In this situation there would be no prescription or doctor involved. Examples would be:</p>
<ul>
<li>morphine</li>
<li>digitalis</li>
<li>EpiPen</li>
</ul>
<p>I looked in various legal resources and could not find a clear answer.</p>
<p>Although I am primarily interested in the legal issues for storage of drugs in first aid kits on land, I am also interested in the same question concerning such drugs being present in a first aid kit on a ship either in US territorial waters or in international waters.</p>

<p>This falls under “<a href="https://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/21cfr/21usc/841.htm" rel="noreferrer">possession with intent to dispense</a>”.</p>
<p>It’s OK if the first aid kit is for use by:</p>
<ul>
<li>a practitioner authorised to dispense drugs (a doctor, nurse practitioner, paramedic or pharmacist)</li>
<li>a person registered under the quoted chapter (which can include first-aid officers in remote or isolated locations, like ships)</li>
<li>the specific person for whom the medication was prescribed</li>
</ul>
