Yes, it’s against the law what was going on, however from what I can see the violation occured from the physicians writing the scripts, and the pharmacies filling these without questioning the orders (which is their professional duty btw)
Obviously they were both making a lot of money, however, since the consumer here had a prescription from a doctor I don’t see how he/ she was in violation of the law, and I don’t see the legal basis law efforcement uses to disclose names of private citizens to the media When this seems to be in violation of physician - patient confidentiality, no matter if the physician was violating the law or not -that’s his problem?
this could ruin their reputations, their livelyhoods, and the lives of their family.
Does someone want to clarify this for me?
IT’S THE FUCKIN’ REPUBLICAN REGIME! Dude, look at the laws in Canada regarding marijuana and compare that to the U.S. since the year 2000! It’s a mess here in the states. There are NO laws to protect a private citizen from Patriot Act #1, I quit fucking with it all when Bush was trying to pass PA # 2! \
It sucks. This is not the land of the free. I have considered moving to Vancouver numerous times, but I just don’t know how to become a Canadian citizen. If you read my previous posts within this thread, you will see that search warrants are not required, they can just bust in your house and take, use, bust, whatever they wanna do to the US citizen. Period. The war on terrorism has turned into the war on the average dude.[/quote]
Dude - stop with all the fear mongering.
Bush didn’t do this all on his own - he had to have the help of the congress, which has a majority of democrats now.
Have you seen a single one of them trying to repeal the PA? Nope.
Anyhow - blaming one party or another is for the political forum.
Sadly - this is a hot press issue right now. I think they are more the problem with their predisposition for over-hyping a ‘good story’.
I don’t think the doctor/patient privilege extends to the pharmacy. I mean - medicines prescribed by a doctor and sold in a pharmacy are not private information.
Anyhow - I hate the way the press has ordained themselves the judge and jury in this crusade against AAS. I they should be held accountable for the destruction of the reputations, and well beings of the people they name.
