Sell Drugs Over the Net?

Although this could be placed in the international issues section I thought it would be best placed here for a couple of reasons;

1. I want to appraoch this from the angle of what should be sold on the net?
2. Why would people trust buying 'certain' products from the net?

Net the Drugs Sell

I see many reasons with selling drugs over the net being wrong.  You never know who could be handling your prescriptions.  The commercials on tv say, you can be unknown by getting your meds online.  But you are giving your information to someone you don't know.  Like in the instance of this woman and her son selling it from their bedroom.  You don't know if these people are licensed or not.  I have a friend that works in an optomitrist (spelling?) office.  They see people regularly who get their contacts online only for them to do more harm to their eyes than good.  With the wrong prescriptions and out of date contacts.  But back to my point, you never know who you are dealing with on the net and if they may cause harm to you.  They should put a stop to this, before someone ends up with the wrong meds and something drastic happens.
