Pill poppers, listen up!

Never take a pill that someone gives you without looking it up on the internet first.

There is always an imprint code on prescription medicine. Sometimes it can be tough to look it up but if you have a general idea of what type of drug it is and the imprint, you can usually find the exact drug name and dosage. And, after you find it, always lookup the dosage indication. Don't kill yourself.

Punching up some of the stuff in my stash I found:

Imprint Code: M/2
Drug/Strength: Hydromorphone Hydrochloride 2mg - Dilaudid

Imprint Code: 5013V
Drug/Strength: Phenobarbital 64.8mg

Imprint Code: 51 / RP
Drug/Strength: Dextroamphelamine Sulfate 5mg - Dexadrine

Imprint Code: A5
Drug/Strength: Oxycodone HCl 5mg
