Answer:

You should not sell unprescribed medication to people is illegal because they could be considered drugs. It is unsafe because they do not need it, or if they did they could have their doctor prescribe it to them and they you would not need to sell it to them.

Answer:

If your friends are asking you to give them your medication it's best you sit down with them and have a serious conversation on how bad selling your medication is (as this can lead to suspension/expulsion and legal action like fines/jail time) and how taking medications you don't need can have severe effects on an individual. If your friends feel they have a condition and may need medication I suggest they talk to their doctor & parents about it, explain to them that taking meds that they don't have a medical need for means that instead of a carefully created and measured dose of chemicals that are correcting a specific imbalance or problem in the brain, they are adding unnecessary chemicals that are CAUSING an imbalance in the brain harming their brain's ability to function properly, also you are given a specific amount of meds, if you give them to another not only are you harming them you may also be harming yourself if you have the wrong amount or end up running out before you can get more. If they don't want to be friends with you because you won't give them your medication it's best to drop them as that shows that they aren't actual friends and are just using you as an easy supplier to get high from.

Explanation:

Long story short, taking medication you don't have a medical need for can cause serious health problems and death & supplying it can lead to fines and a prison sentence, so just don't.
