Question about buying drugs online


Posted: Jun 7, 2011

My 18 year old nephew was involved in a wreck and was hospitalized with a severely broken leg.  He will be okay, but his parents are very upset that he was loaded!  He was drinking and had drugs in his system.  He will have charges for property damage to a business also.

They searched his room, found bottles of xanax, hydrocodone, vicodin, valium and such.  His dad checked the computer and found an account with one of those Canadian and Mexican "pharmacies".  He is in the process of contacting them to question their practice.

Is it really that easy and legal to purchase controlled substances without a U.S. prescription?  I always thought that these were bogus businesses that would sell capsules of Comet or Ajax, not real medications, like narcotics!  My doctor will NOT even give me a prescription for more than 30 Xanax over a 3 month span, because it is addictive and he says that if I really have anxiety to the degree that I need a Xanax a few times a day, then I need psychological help, but he would feel "irresponsible" if he did prescribe a big dose on a daily basis.  (I appreciate his candor and even agree that you have to really watch your meds)

My nephew will be okay, but he's said he thinks he has a big problem with abuse.  I just think it's horrible that controlled substances are so easily available to obviously anyone.

I ordered a nasal spray from New Zealand - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
for my daughter because the cost for the same spray in the states was just incredible. I was given the name of the place to order it from by her doctor, I could get 3 bottles of the exact nasal spray for half of what 1 bottle costs here--there it is not prescription, here it is. On the order form there was a place to check off that it was "legal" for me to order it for shipment here. I did check that box since the info came from the doctor, but I wondered about it at the time.

She mentioned the Roosevelt's started their fortune by processing sugar in colonial NYC, which was part of the Triangle Trade pattern of Colonial America. The sugar was made by sla ...

This was our conversation at a dinner last night. LOL The general concensus was that we ladies don't buy much anymore, not because we don't get use out of but because we have older kids. We'd have to change in our bedrooms and then not be able to come out until we change back into something more modest. kinda becomes a hassle. clothes we can only were in the bedroom and we can't come out for water in them.

Do you think people use the anonymity of hiding behind the computer screen as an excuse to get away with bullying others?

I know there have been cases on FB and other such sites where teens have been bullied to the point of suicide which is horrible. Do you think adult bullying can have a similar affect if the person they are bullying is already hav ...

Does Anyone Do Their Shopping Online?Feb 17, 2013
I've been trying to find a more inexpensive way to buy groceries.  I don't do couponing much because all the coupons are usually for stuff I don't normally buy. I was looking at Amazon and it is amazing all the stuff they sell.  My question is this.  I see for instance a 12 pack of canned beans for 41.84 (pack of 12).  Does that mean 12 cans?  If so, Amazon is selling for 4 times the amount I pay for at the grocery store.  Am I reading that right?&nb ...
