Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Selling your own perscription medicine

I recently went on a trip to Thailand, before I left I filled a perscription for anti-malaria pills. I'm back with the full container of pills. While it is incredibly risky for someone to buy my old pills (for trust reasons), is it illegal?
