Prescription opiates and stimulants aren’t expensive, when you have a valid prescription.
If this article was about the problem of counterfeit cancer drugs, or other non-narcotic medications, it would be a different situation, but that’s not what the discussion is about.
While I ultimately believe that drugs should be decriminalized and legalized, that’s not where we’re at.
So, if I was an active drug user and in Mexico, I’d prefer to get counterfeit narcotics that actually contain narcotics, and not ground up Zoloft or sugar pills.
I’d also trust the QA at shady cartel run Mexican pharmacy more than the average addict dealer in the states. Not a lot more, but enough to know which I’d prefer.
