LEGAL ONLINE NARCOTICS

[cattalina]

The DEA has an idea that they want the American public to evaluate: what if controlled substances were allowed to be prescribed electronically? In other words - make it legal for doctors to prescribe narcotics and other drugs online.   Currently, this idea is going through a "public comment period" before any laws are put into place.  Naturally as an addict in recovery, I have strong opinions about this topic - How does everyone else feel about it and why?

It will never happen. The DEA is only allowed to control the sale & distribution of "Controlled Substances". They worked too hard to shut down the illegal sites and I saw an interview with a DEA higher up saying controlled meds will never be sold online.
Having said that, a drug like Soma isn't a controlled med so the DEA has no say over it and it's legal to sell online. I know that's hard to believe but I saw the interview with my own 2 eyes.
They worked too hard to get them all off the internet (after kids were O.D.ing from online drugs), they will never allow them to come back on. The liability will be too high when bad docs get involved in writing those scripts.
I would be intersted in where you saw the info that they are "trying" this right now? If you don't mind.
Thanks

Nauty Is right they are doing it already  .The scripts are coming from ligament doctors  in the US.

I need to clarify for reasons I wont specify.  I do not have an online Dr. Nor have i ever used and online Dr.  I know about them because I have heard about it, and seen some sites.  I have only gotten my medication from my personal physician.  It was not my intention to promote online Doctors, it was merely brought up for conversational purposes.

I just want to make that clear.

The DEA doesn't have a choice.  It is being done as we speak.  If I were to fax my medical records to an online Dr.  They would do it.  Is that all illegal?  I'm confused.

I was sick last week, and had to go to the doctor. They handed me this piece of paper with a bunch of questions on it. I believe I saw the DEA logo on it. It was questions and information about, my Doctor sending my prescriptions to the drug store electronically.They are doing this in many places already.The sticky issue is, will the DEA let them send prescriptions for narcotics electronically, to your drug store? I don't think the DEA has any intention of letting people buy controlled substances legally on line.

I agree that if an addict wants them they will get them. Stuff like coke, heroin and meth aren't legal and they have those. Everything else is shifting to being done "electronically" why not get your rx's that way? Oh man...what would our great grandparents think? LOL
