is it legal to sell otc drugs online?

[wildgift]

I have some really boring drugs: prilosec and aspirin.  It just seems like a waste to throw them away.

Is it illegal to sell OTC drugs online?  These are technically "prescription" and were dispensed as such, but they are identical to generic prilosec otc and plain old aspirin that you get without prescription.

I'll assume the risperidone I have is illegal to sell online.

If you're worried about it being illegal sell it on Silk Road. That way the risk is low even if it is illegal.

[wildgift]

I'm too lame to even know where to find Silk Road, though I've read about it.

I'm not *that* worried.

BTW, I just looked up in the ads here and found someone selling Prilosec for $1 each.  The OTC version costs 30 cents retail at the drug store.

[AndrewBUD]

You would have to pay 30BTC for a vendors account to sell them on silk road... I doubt anyone would buy them unless their unavailable in a certain area..... silkroad is mostly illegal or hard to get drugs....


Silkroad is not all drugs... They sell knock off goods. Electronics Lots of different things... But mostly "illegal" drugs  

[RustyRyan]

Yeah technically it would be illegal without a license and all, so Silk Road would be the way.

are you a chemist ?

are you a chemist ?

I'd say patient who didn't use up the whole pack...

People sell asperin and excedrin on ebay.   So, not sure it would be a problem. 

[AndrewBUD]

Would it even be worth it? after shipping it would cost more then your local pharmacy 

[wildgift]

This is someone else's prescription, and they didn't need it all.

Shipping would be around $6, but the prilosec is worth more than that.   It's worth around $30.

I just want to avoid putting this into the wastestream.  I guess I'll try ebay.

I can get a bag of weed on silkroad with BTC?

You would have to examine if it is a controlled/scheduled substance. Other rules may apply too. For example, spray paint is not illegal, but selling it to a minor in your state may be, same thing goes with the anti-meth-ingredient ID laws some states have for ephedrines. I think there are no laws prohibiting you from giving aspirin to someone, but the prilosec may have a 'non-prescription' dose that the prescription exceeds.

There are so many laws now that it's no longer possible to guarantee that any action you take doesn't violate one of them.

That's why it's best to use services like Silk Road, because even if you think what you're doing is legal you can never be entirely sure.

[A_CardeN]

Not sure why anyone would buy old, used asprin from you?

No offense, just sayin.

That's the weird thing about prilosec: exact same dosage for prescription and otc.  20mg.

It's not used   Can any drug be "used"?

They're actually in these blister packs.

Again, another weird product.  81mg, which is a low dose for daily use.  You can just take regular aspirin and cut it into 4 parts, and get around the same dosage.

Yet, these low-dose aspirin cost more than the full strength 325 mg pill.

Of course, we're a society that will pay $1 for a bottle of water.

Yeah,,, Anything from hash to Heroin

[wong RAP]

There is another commercial drug site, check the hidden wiki

[bighecks]

Yeah I think it is but not sure.

[RodeoX]

I doubt anyone would come after you legal or not.
