I keep getting a lot of emails about drugs sold over the Internet. No prescriptions needed, they say. Viagra, Lithium - the works.

Illegal? Definitely.

But something seems to keep these sites running. I know a nurse I used to work with who bought some muscle relaxants from online.

Have you - or your "friend" - ever bought drugs online? And I don't mean from Walgreens.

Actually, I'm not sure they're all illegal.

It's certainly legal to buy drugs online, it's just that some require a prescription. I seem to recall reading how some of these places employ doctors in Mexico or Canada to review a health statement you submit to them to generate a prescription. I looked over some of these sites before, and they generally don't deal with the harder prescription drugs like codeine, just lighter stuff like viagra, etc.

Man, what I wouldn't give for some Tylenol 3.

I've looked at it -- just for grins one time... and one place I checked, tehy have an "online doctor appointment" that they give you -- and charge you for. before dispensing the drugs. Drug prices on line aren't all that cheap... (and the worrier in me - -says self medicating is dangerous)

I think you can various hallucinagens online, like DMT, Salvia, and even mushroom spores to grow mushrooms.

Procrastinate now, don't put off to the last minute.

ofcourse the things that contain DMT, mescaline or whatever are either ornamental cacti or in the case of dmt/salvia inscense. Spores are for scientific research *wink*wink*
theres also a huge difference between taking too much tylenol 3 (liver damage, bleeding from the eyes) and too much salvia where you are only out of it for 5minutes and floored for that

As already said, a lot of these sites have Docs on payroll to write the prescription for what you need. Also, a lot operate in other countries where you don't need a prescription for such meds, and will mail them to you. That I believe is illegal, but they get away from it because the government doesn't go through your mail.

The emails I get must be from some non-English speaking country. The grammar is horrid and sometimes it uses l33t speak. No way to unsubscribe and different email address each time.

They do that to try to bypass some of the spam filters, which often look for certain words or phrases. Messing up the grammar or using a zero instead of an O can often get it past the filters.

I've bought Viagra on-line. The wait was much longer than they advertised and but at least I didn't get ripped off. They just generated a prescription from a form I filled out.

I think some drugs are good but take according to the doctor suggests
