Hi Legit --

This is the DEA - Ashcroft's Federal crew - closing down the distributors, the companies who warehouse and deliver hydro etc. to the OP's like the one's you mention. The DEA is yanking all of these distributors' Controlled Substance Licenses. The domestic OP's are going to be left with no legal source of supply for controlled substances, unless they can do deals with "more legitimate" distributors. But those distributors do not want their CS licenses revoked, so they will not deal with OP's until FDA/DEA come up with guide lines as to what is acceptable practice of online medicine. If in fact the FDA/DEA do come up with a set of guidelines, which I doubt, I'd expect it will be far more stringent than anything we've seen to date. Also, this will be nationwide. They went after Florida first, because that's where most of the obvious action has been. The only way to remedy this situation is through political pressure. Bush and Ashcroft are committed Drug Warriors, they will only relent, if they understand that it will cost them their jobs - but I don't detect that general sentiment even here on DB. So, yes, I think domestic OP business will dry up within 3-4 months. New forms of distribution will emerge on the web, but it will not be like the glory days of the past couple years. And it definitely will not be "legal" in Bush & Ashcroft's US.
