Online Pharmacies, Legal or Not?

We are all aware of the whole fuzz about the illegality of selling and buying prescription medication online. At this moment I don’t think that anybody certainly point to either one direction..

Let’s try to argue against the illegality version:

  • First of all the FDA implies that online pharmacies are illegal, and their affirmation is based on:’ Federal law requires that "A prescription for a controlled substance to be effective must be issued for a legitimate medical purpose by an individual practitioner acting in the usual course of his professional practice" (21 CFR 1306.04(a)).” That fact is, that most meds are not “controlled substances” and that makes them legal for internet sale.

  • On the Internet are only less than 10 US prescriptions distributors. If the Federal Government would have a legal case why aren’t they shut down?

  • Why some states had to come up with their own legislation to ban and enforce the sell of internet prescription drugs to their citizens if a federal low exists? Here is a list of states where internet meds are not allowed: http://www.ordermeds.us/medsshipmentrestrictions.html

  • To comply with the federal low all this distributors eliminated the sales of “control substances” like: Ambien, Sonata, Phentermine….and continued their business.

Considering all of the above, unless I am missing something really important I consider that ordering meds online from US pharmacies is totally legal. If this activity wouldn’t be complying with the law closing it down should be a matter of days not weeks!

On the other hand there are hundreds of Overseas, Mexican and Canadian pharmacies of witch legality I’ll try to discuss later.

How do you know witch pharmacy bases its activity on USA? Check to see if they distribute control substances and if they ship in the restricted states mentioned above. They might specifically let you know what meds are distributed from US pharmacies.
