More Glavmed to Kick


Citing an alarming statistic, the Partnership at Drugfree.org announced the results of a suvey of consumers of online drug purchasing behavior. The survey's results? 1 in 6 adults, approximately 16% of adult population have bought or currently buy medications online without a doctor's prescription.


These counterfeit drugs are likely to harm you, and will leave your condition untreated.  One counterfeit's ingredients were shown to include roach powder, powdered brick, road paint, and floor wax. 


When you obtain a medication that has been approved by the FDA, and prescribed by a licensed practitioner, and purchased at a licensed pharmacy, that product is safe. When you go out of the system, you are dealing with criminals who have found it is easier to sell drugs online than to sell crack or heroin on the street.


Glavmed is the Russian mafia consortium that operates these illegal "pharmacies".  Today's RBN IP List Update includes additional Glavmed online properties.


Come on people, let's get smart.  For the most part, these guys are militant nationalists who hate all Americans.  They find it amusing that they can get the "stupid Americans" to pay to harm themselves.
