Popularity of prescription drugs from Canada continues to grow; FDA plays role of mob boss for domestic prescription drug racket

A growing number of people are purchasing prescription drugs that have been reimported from Canada. This practice bypasses the drug company monopoly that now has a strangehold on customers in the United States, allowing customers to have access to the very same prescription drugs at a fraction of the cost. The practice drives the pharmaceutical industry absolutely crazy, of course, which is why they've fought bitterly against it. The FDA, always watching out for the pharmaceutical industry, has engaged in all sorts of Nazi-like tactics to shut down drugs from Canada and scare people into avoiding them.

What kind of Nazi tactics am I talking about? How about detaining and searching an entire bus load of elderly who visited Canada and then returned to the United States? The FDA has also pressured credit card merchant services to spy on (and report) activities from online companies that sell prescription drugs from Canada. Further, they've engaged in a massive scare campaign to try to convince Americans that drugs from Canada are somehow far more dangerous than prescription drugs purchased in the United States (in reality, they're ALL dangerous, but that's another story). Without question, the mob boss FDA has done a great job protecting the criminal drug ring operated by the U.S. pharmaceutical industry, at great cost to consumers, of course. It's all part of the FDA's mission to protect drug companies, regardless of the consequences to public health.
