USPS: Ban on mailing prescription meds

I didn't realize that it's illegal for people to send prescription medications through the mail. Nor did a friend of mine who needed to send some antibiotics to her daughter at college.
My friend found out about the restriction from a clerk at her post office, and she was still furious and frustrated when I saw her a few minutes later at the Y. She said the regulation put her, a law-abiding and churchgoing woman, in the impossible position of either knowingly breaking a federal law or making a completely unnecessary trip to her daughter's school in Kentucky.
Wisely, she said she was going to run around the Y's track to calm down and get some perspective.
