I can't imagine any reasonably minded person would actually buy prescription drugs online. Think about it... you have no idea where those drugs are actually coming from... if they're really what they're supposed to be... or whether they'll actually harm (or kill) you.

He warned that not only is it illegal to import prescription drugs into Canada, but buying such products is like playing Russian roulette.
