two unopened packs of Zofran, a medication used to prevent nausea and vomiting in cancer patients. It's a controlled substance but does not produce euphoria or a high that recreational drug users typically seek.

Bruh, what the fuck even is this reporting. Zofran (ondansetron) is given to all sorts of patients for nausea and vomiting, not just cancer patients, and it sure as shit isn't a controlled substance.

i was confused because its used for nausea, pregnant woman uses it too, and its not illegal to carry it. unless she was planning to sell it for some reason.

Is the articke mistaking Zofran for Zoloft?

[–] Rakudjo@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Zoloft is ALSO not a controlled substance.

Both are only "controlled" in the way that they both require a prescription and are not available OTC.
