im sure everyone has gotten those email about getting cheap Rx drugs from online, etc, etc.
in the past, ive deleted them without a second thought.
now, though, one of my doctors recommended a new precription for me that would run an indefinate period and so i decided that id check out the site. i never got to see what the prices were like, if they were cheaper than what i would be paying becuase i was distracted by the huge banner that read "no prescriptions necessary!" (also on that banner was a big ad for pain medication...)
this whole set-up seems like a terrible scam. how is it possible/legal to do that and isnt anyone antsy about the amount of precription drug abusers out there?

just wondering if anyone know the hows of this sort of internet store?

Most of these places AREN'T cheaper than the drugstore because you're paying for the "service" of not having a prescription for it.

A lot of it is overseas/ in canada. I imagine some of it isn't even real, it's not too difficult to encapsulate your own blends of stuff, we did it in one of my chemlabs, it could be anything. They're not regulated by the FDA, so if you get sick, you have no recourse.

Well, that is why you only order from Pharmacies with a good rep, and stay up to date on scammers.

I suggest you do some heavy research before you get ripped off.
