You should not have done that because it will get you charged with a crime as it did. You should have called your doctor and had him write another one. A problem with your excuse is that most prosecutors and probably a lot of juries will scoff at it as being untrue, whether it is or not. This is a serious charge and you need to be represented by an experienced Michigan criminal defense attorney which handles prescription fraud cases.
