Week 10 EOC: Illicit Trade on the Web



In the past year, evidence has mounted that a large percentage of the Viagra and other erectile dysfunction (ED) medication sold online is fake. And that the majority of the sites selling Viagra online can’t be trusted.

The Majority of Online Pharmacies Untrustworthy. Imagine That!
Last month, the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), which accredits online pharmacies, announced the results of an analysis showing that 97 percent of the more 10,000 online sites selling prescription medications were operating illegally or not following pharmacy laws and standards. (Note: This is prescription medications; the report did not even touch the websites selling drugs without a prescription.)

So You Want to Buy Viagra Safely Online. The HARD facts:
There are a number of resources specifically created to enable consumers to shop safely online. The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) offers its own website to find an accredited online pharmacy, AwareRX, which lists pharmacies vetted by the NABP through their VIPPS program (Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites). The FDA also has its own consumer protection website campaign launched in late 2012, BeSafeRX.

Perhaps an AK-47 would go well with that Evening Gown?
The AK-47, perhaps the world's best-known gun, is so easy to make and so hard to break that the Soviet-designed original has spawned countless variants, updated and modified versions churned out by factories all over the globe. Although US customs laws ban importing the weapons, parts kits—which include most original components of a Kalashnikov variant—are legal. So is reassembling them, as long as no more than 10 foreign-made components are used and they are mounted on a new receiver, the box-shaped central frame that holds the gun's key mechanics. There are no fussy irritations like, say, passing a background check to buy a kit. And because we're assembling the guns for our own "personal use," whatever that may entail, we're not required to stamp in serial numbers. These rifles are totally untraceable, and even under California's stringent assault weapons ban, that's perfectly within the law.
