I know you ve got not real pharmacy as we have in many european country.

So you can buy your med on line and without a doctor advice i think so that's just a cyber shopping like an other.

Don't be angry, i don't want to judge, i want to understand.

For me i am afraid because i think people who are ill or sad can buy what they want and try to suicide but maybe i am wrong so just tell me.

And what about addiction if you can buy easily some sort of meds ?

kisses and hugs.

Where I am Crhristine, we can get our meds by mail, but only with a prescription. They do sell drugs on the street without a prescription, but normally we can't get them on line. At least I've never tried. I get my meds by what is called a mail order service. I get a prescription for 90 days. We do have drug stores or pharmacies that sell the 30 day prescriptions. It depends on your insurance carrier.

so that's not so dangerous i thought if you need a prescription to buy it. do you have all an insurance ?

In france we can't have more than 30 days prescription for that's sort of med to avoid suicides.

I have a couple of friends who have bought prescription meds online. Benzos I think and I know you can get opiates that way. They are extremely expensive without a script but people do it anyway. There's always the chance you are buying sugar pills too or worse. From what I've read it has caused quite an addiction issue.

They are careful when they refill them. They wait until you are almost out before sending new prescription.

Oh and I meant to add .. It IS illegal to buy online without script.. but you can do it

Hi,

Anyone in any country can buy meds on line. But as said before they are more expensive. However, once a person buys them it then becomes a matter of not getting caught and/or prosecuted for importing drugs illegally - that is importing without getting an import licence from the government.

To the best of my knowledge the US and just about all countries in the world have some sort of pharmacy.

Actually I found the pharmists (chemists where I come from) very strick. Can't buy products with Codine in them in the US without a persciption. Yipes!! Went I. The rules in Australia seem a lot more lenient here.

hi, no in france it's not allowed to buy meds on line or even somewhere else than in a pharmacy.

best regards christine

Hum, I regard that as a government deleving into an area that they should not. ie regard the population as idiots!. I wonder when they will decide it is illegale to people to drink wine in France?

That s for historical reasons in france . Pharmacy are rich and we don't pay for our med. But yes of course you can be drunk it s allowed . Kisses
