Canada and Drugs

The U.S. Customs department is relaxing its enforcement on the importation of drugs from Canada for personal use. Many pharamaceutical companies are worried that this will cause more problems with fake and illegal drugs. I agree because when you relax the restrictions dealers are more likley to sell illegal drugs from foreign countries and also to sell fake drugs which will not only not help you but could also kill you. Ken Johnson, senior vice president for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, made a good point "If you buy drugs over the Internet or from Canada, and it makes you sick and kills you, who do you sue?" Who will the American citizens blame when someone dies from these drugs, who is liable?

When you engage in any buying of something that is not pure and proven then you suffer the consequences if you are willing to buy. So, therefore if you buy prescription medication out of the country, in Canada, then if you get sick you suffer the consequences. Although this is a great way to save money especially if you are a cancer patient it is not a sure but that the drugs are pure, so it probably is not a good idea to buy cheap drugs from Canada.
