Finally. The biggest drug pushers there are.

I get my meds from Canada.Nothing controversial of course,but blood pressure meds and the like.For some reason Americans want to call the shots in the med industry.Other countries are not compelled to recognize our FDA.Canada sells as good or better quality for 25 cents on the dollar.My source actually does require that I text them a copy of my prescription to verify the need,but that's it.
