If they don't require a perscription how aren't they getting take downs, account freezes and meatspace raids? I cannot even get refills for meds I have been on for years. Just one month at a time max.

If they do require a perscription they are the same as other pharma TV ads basically. Just doing a miniature inventory variety pharmacy. Sleazy but not alarming.

Which I think means "illegal in UK and EU"


They hook you up with a virtual perscriber.


They're worried they're no longer getting their cut!


I hope this is a joke. The premise behind the joke is that doctors and Healthcare providers don't provide any value other than to gatekeep prescription. These things are far more complex than just popping a pill. We have no problem paying for a tour guide when we're exploring a foreign city, why wouldn't we see the same value when exploring the inner workings of our minds?


It is gatekeeping everyone should be able to get the supporting dope to be in mach 1 from 9 o clock when the daily recipe kicks in. I would like to order 5 gram of real columbian cocaine from the local pharmacy.
