In Georgia, as in the rest of the United States, Xanax 1 mg (alprazolam) is classified as a controlled substance and is legally available only with a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. Attempting to purchase Xanax without a prescription, including through online platforms, is both illegal and poses significant health risks. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has issued public safety alerts regarding illegal online pharmacies selling counterfeit medications laced with substances like fentanyl and methamphetamine.
