It's all one big fat happy globalizational world now, isn't it? Who knows what's an American company, a foreign company, a foreign-owned American company, a formerly American division of a foreign-owned conglomerate, or any other legal mishmash?
All I know is it's pretty funny that you can buy recreational drugs legally over the internet with only the slimmest pretense of a prescription, so long as they're under patent and sold by big drug companies. What's the difference between telling the internet pharmacy "doctor" that you want to have sex all night and being "prescribed" some viagra, versus telling the internet pharmacy "doctor" that you want to see pretty lights all night and being "prescribed" some LSD? The only difference is the viagra is quasi-legal because the stuff is made by "legitimate" drug companies and the LSD is a throw-your-ass-in-prison-till-you-rot controlled substance because no big company is making any money off it. Look at how they're peddling psych drugs for "diseases" like "social anxiety" (shyness) these days. If somebody had a patent on nicotine, ethanol, or THC, they'd have figured out a "disease" that it cures, and they'd be selling it over the internet legally.
