OK, I know there are legit online pharmacy providers where you can get a prescription filled, like drugstore.com. I am not talking about those places.
I am talking about stuff like this comment "Recently I had a friend give me some viagra he got off the internet" from
this DonkeyKongSr thread.
I'm assuming this is from some "Buy Viagra online" place that I see spam for all the time.
So, here's my question. Are many people actually taking drugs from these places? Is this becoming a standard way for people to just order whatever prescription drug they want? I am not just talking impotence pills, but really any prescription pill these places sell.
Basically, I was pretty surprised to read that. The idea of taking a pill that comes from some random online site seems super sketch to me. Am I just behind the times here or do most people feel the same way?

I have been running websites marketing online pharmacies for almost 4 years now. I also worked for a company which was despensing and shipping out pharmaceuticals without RX to customers, back when DEA wasnt that strict. I still run my own online pharma sites. I can answer any questions u guys have about these programs.
First of all, its not illegal to buy or sell "non-controlled" medications, such as erectyle dysfunction drugs, anti depressants, antibiotics, some muscle relaxers and some pain killers. It is however, illegal to buy and sell controlled medications, these are schedule IV and up drugs under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances such as Vicodin, xanax, testosterone, phentermine, and ambien. Buying these could get YOU arrested, and are most likely being shipped by some shady off shore pharma.
The reason why drugs are usually cheap online is because they sell GENERIC versions of these drugs. FOr example, this means that when u buy Viagra, ur actually buying sildenafil which is viagra's scientific name. IT is the same exact drug it will do the same exact thing and it is the same quality, only thing that is different there is no big corporation behind it like Pfizer that spends money marketing it under the name viagra, so therefore it becomes cheaper.
Right now i am hooked up with two suppliers for my websites. One resides in the USA, and they are abiding to the laws the best they could, they have been in business for over 4 years and have always been in the US. They only sell non controlled meds, and they only ship to a specific states where legistlation doesnt prohibit buying Rx without Rx. However since this supplier is in the US and is a legit business, that means they have to pay taxes, and this makes their medications alot more expensive. But over the years they have proven to be very reliable to my customers. They ship all products next Day FEDEX, for a $18 flat fee.
My other supplier resides off shore, they also sell only non-controlled meds. I believe their products are coming from Canada. They mostly sell generics and the prices are great. Only down side is shipping would be thru AIR mail or courier, and it takes a while to get ur meds.
Again ask me anyquestions u guys want about ther online pharma biz. i've been in it for a long time and dealt with all kinds of pharmas, shady and legit.
