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:

-
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.
