If you attempted to use a fake prescription to obtain drugs, this is a quite serious matter. You need to speak directly with a criminal defense attorney ASAP. In the meantime, do not speak with the police, even if they come to your house. The fact is that you are under no obligation to do so. They are experts at getting suspects to incriminate themselves either by indimadating the individual or by appearing to befriend them. And if you are arrested, say nothing. Again, get legal representation immediately.
