This also torpedos a fantasy California has for doing the same thing. The legislature passed a bill to allow Canadian imports, but Arnold vetoed it. No doubt it'll be back in the next legislative season; no legislative fantasy ever dies in California.
Canadien, non-fda approved, outsourced drugs. john edwards' legal buddies are going to have a field day with this stuff. Talk about a 139 billion windfall to your buddies?
I hope they legalize cross-border sales. The Canadian discount is in effect an American subsidy. Erasing the border won't lower US prices, it will raise Canadian prices to US levels.
The writing was clearly written on the wall. It was only a matter of time before the lawer scum in America hired litigators in Canada to take what little profit they make.
The first guy to die from a Canadian Viagra induced heart attack will open the doors to a whole new gold field.
Is it legal for an individual to buy drugs from Canada over the internet?

I have been wondering about the meds in Canada and if they are the same formulation as the ones in the USA. We bought a bottle of Benadryl when we were there recently. I took a dose of it a week ago, and it does not taste like the Benadryl that we have been buying for the last ten+ years. It tastes like paregoric(sp?) that my father used to give me when I was a child, and I've heard that prescription drug is no longer sold or has been changed for some reason.
The Canadians fix the price and the drug companies pass the loss on Canadian sales to the US market in the form of higher prices. So Sen. Kerry, explain to me how this plan will work in the long run?
If pill buyers flock en masse to Canadian drugs, you can be damn sure those drugs will not be American made. They'll be lookalikes from Thailand, Mexico, or Nairobi.
I've always questioned the practicality of reimportation. Canada has only a small fraction of the population of the U.S. How could their supply be sufficient to provide both themselves and the U.S. with prescription drugs?
