I'd be curious what drugs are actually cheaper on the darknet than buying directly from the pharmacy even w/o insurance. Painkillers are def. not cheaper on the darknet. Maybe some others are cheaper, like bought from Canada or some shit. I call bullshit on some of hte stats. They said half the drugs bought are counterfeit? I think it depends on where you buy them. If you buy from an Indian pharmacy, sure they will be counterfeit, or from vendors who buy from these offshore pharmas. But that's unfair to lump that b/c if you order from them, you've gotta realize you are not getting American pharmaceutical grade drugs. There was a very expensive cancer drug that was counterfeited and sold to LEGITIMATE pharmas and hospitals - this is problematic not just on the DNMs. In my mind, they need to use a stat of "counterfeits" that truly imitate a known medication - like the same pill shape, color, stamps, etc.

I've been thinking of doing spot checking on my orders (which aren't very many) and sending to those labs that will test the pill. If this would interest anyone else, I could post the results here. But not sure how helpful it'd be to the community since my drug range is very narrow and only order from a few vendors at the present. I'm definitely going to do it for my own ease b/c I'm paranoid by nature and would like some assurance. I have no reason to suspect otherwise, but its always nice to have confirmation.

I'd even contribute to others sending out a pill to a lab and posting the results. I think that's highly beneficial to the community, esp amongst the pill people.
