Hi dwrenn,

I'm pretty sure, and I say this with confidence having worked for a pharmacist, that you need to be licensed. Think about it -- you would be handling all types of drugs, some as common as aspirin all the way up to narcotics. No state is going to let someone come in if they have not had the proper training and are not licensed.

If you need information you should speak to your local pharmacist or, using Google or a similar search engine, go to Board of Pharmacy, *your state here* for detailed information on requirements.

Best of luck to you!!

Jo
