: : : if i were to swipe some of those littlepapers the doc writes scripts on is it possible to fake a script?
: : Youd think so, but if you get caught... You could have fraud, impersination, conspiracy to traffic, theft...

: Good question.. I know of someone who does this with Vicodin scripts. EVERY WEEK and it's been 2 years! Some controlled substances, Percodan, Valium many others have a special triplicate DEA form and cannot be prescribed via a normal script pad. Other controlled drugs can be written via a normal script like Vicodin. Vicodin is CIII like anabolics. But valuim is CIV and you need a triplicate so I'm not sure. I'd hate to hand a pharmacy a script written on the wrong document. Thats definitely trouble.
In Canada, the triplicate is used routinely for AS. But in addition to this, the pharmacist always calls the doctor for verbal confirmation, so in practice, many doctors just write on the plain prescription pad becase they know the pharmacist will call them. Those pads can come in handy for writing your own prescriptions for things like Xanax, but I used to work in a pharmacy and I have seen all the fuss that goes on when an AS prescription comes in. Usually it has to be specially ordered and when it comes in, several duplicate copies of the invoice must be made as well as who the drug was supplied to. Its a tempting thought but you would need a really dumb pharmacist to pull the trick on.
