I love it! These "journalists" break the law and then say "look what I did!" like they're saving the world or something. While they're at it, why don't they go to a local doctor, lie about needing oxy, fill the script and then write about that? They don't because they wouldn't want to break the law. So what's the difference between lying online and lying to a physician face to face in order to obtain prescription meds? Of course if she had an actual need for the medication, there wouldn't be any story other than how convenient OP's are! Now while these reporters ARE scum, the fact is that plenty of negative things are written and posted here everyday about OP's such as the ones she targeted and how they're endangering the legitimate OP's. I'd say that most of us even hope that these no-records/no prescription OP's go completely out of business because they do make the legit OP's look bad to those who lump all online medical services into the same category. The thing is that every profession has two contrasting ends. There's the attorney who draws up your will and the attorney who chases ambulances. There's the journalist who reports crime as it happens and the journalist who creates the crime in order to write about it. And I agree with one of the replies to this thread that points out that in the course of blowing in these seedy operations, the reporter is providing a roadmap for some enterprising teens to go ahead and take the plunge themselves! And I know from personal experience that articles such as these absolutely do serve as advertisments. I'm way over 30 and use the services of a legit OP, but it wasn't until I read a certain "news" article two years ago that I learned that hydro was legal to obtain via the internet!
