Ugh. This is painfully real for me. My sons asthma medicine last year was over a grand. Yah. Those rescue inhalers that used to be $7 for a generic? Now $80+ because the drug companies voluntarily agreed to some CFC removal clause (which they were initially exempted from). That way, they take the EXACT SAME MEDICINE and change the propellant - and laugh as thousands of Americans have to shell out 10x the dollars for the same thing.
Imagine if tomorrow, every ibuprofen, tylenol and aspirin suddenly cost a few bucks per pill.
That happened in 2007. Surely you'd think a generic would be out by 2015, right?!? Nope.
Oh well. Healthcare is jacked. I love my kid so I keep shelling it out. But damn...
I hadn't thought about it until I read that article. It had only just dawned on me that I know enough people coming and going out of Mexico that I should look into that option. I think I'll be trying that first before I go the complicated steps of tor transactions.
- Because of this fascination, I knew that there were vendors who offered prescription drugs that don’t get you high. Drugs such as antibiotics, allergy pills, and most importantly, asthma inhalers.
Really, illicit antibiotics are dangerous because overuse can lead to increased resistance in the bacteria. Also, antihistamines, such as Benadryl can get you high in large enough doses, but are deliriants, which few people enjoy the high from.
Overall, a great article, though the idea that the dark web markets do a net good is less certain than he made it seem. I gives him props though for being open about it though.

I know this is an issue, but it was my impression that while you should always make sure to take your antibiotics until the round is complete (Not stopping just when you feel better), the biggest concern with antibiotic-resistance is in farm animals that are getting pumped full of them as preventative measures.

Both big problems. Doing crazy shit to cows would create a super plague that might kill people, but will certainly kill buttloads of cows. If it gets bad enough it could kill most or all cows. Doing crazy shit to people will create a super plague that will kill a lot of people, might kill other species. Different probabilities, but lots of badness to be averted by more intelligent agriculture and longitudinal family practice and preventative care.
