Wait, I'm confused. You say these are prescription drugs? I have never ever had a problem bringing a prescription drug onto a plane. Whether or not you actually have a prescription, it's not like they check on the plane. If all your pills are in an appropriate bottle you're fine. Do you get them rx? Because in that case you would be just fine.
Also, wow, recreational butorphanol. They gave that to my cat when he was neutered. He seemed to like it, lol. But a human tried it and said it was uncomfortable and caused hallucinations.
do not bring drugs into a US airport
In general, for most drugs this is true. But with an rx bottle, which EVERYONE takes with them on vacation, I really can't imagine much scrutiny. Even going overseas, they don't care about a single prescription if it doesn't look sketchy. At least, I've never had a problem going anywhere, and I bring my rx clonazepam when I fly. It's never even been paid attention to.
In fact, this is off topic, but someone I know unknowingly brought bud with them from CA to NY, forgot it was even in their coat, which got x-rayed. He didn't get stopped, and actually didn't even know it was there. Upon arrival to NY though, what is this bottle of medicinal MJ! Lol! But no one should purposely take THAT risk, he must have just gotten lucky.
Rx should be fine though.
I guess it comes down to whether or not you have a legit script
i
moved from NY to texas addicted to suboxone and xanax, boy was i in for it. i wasnt sleeping, had no energy, i hit the point where when i would lay down at nite, and drift off and i would dream/think i was out getting drugs, and when i opened my eyes, i went looking all thru my clothes thinking i came home with the drugs, but it was a delusion, it was getting bad..worse then i can explain, finally i got xanax and morphs and subs mailed to me, 2 weeks later..the xanax was such a relief, the suboxone got me so high...def never ever leave ur hometown addicted to drugs, its a nightmare
Again, you could have brought your scripts with you. And even if you didn't have a legit script, you just need to put em in a "legit-ish" bottle and no one looks twice. State to state, not a chance.
Not that I'm trying to give advice on "smuggling". Just saying you would have been fine
