I wish someone could tell us what will come of the sites that require medical records,porta-medic, online consultations, ect. I realize that some of these sites are bad, but we need to get a more defined answer to what sites are playing by the book......

It's just my opinion, but I believe that the "one click" places will be the first to go, then those that just require a questionairre. The sites that require medical records and a phone consult will probably hang on until legislation clearly defines what consititues a bona fide "doctor patient" relationship and a "legal prescription". Who knows how long all of this will take. Obviously, the sites with stricter requirements will be better off. Honestly, I'm hoping that when all of this coverage of Rush Limbaugh dies down, so will all of the coverage of prescription medications. It can't just be coincidence that it all occured at the same time. Once the next celebrity does something "newsworthy" (ie - gets a DUI, shoplifts, gets in a bar brawl), I'm praying the media will move on to the next "scandal". It's frightening.

At this point there is no book to play by. DEA is taking a position that questionaire medicine is not sufficient and are trying to close distributors, rather than OP's - this dries up lot's of OP's quickly. Ordinarily - given the history of dilute-GBL (Blue nitro etc.) a couple years ago, I would expect most OP's to disappear in next 3-4 months. However, it appears that many of these disty's are well connected and their mouthpieces may turn this into something more like a porno trial. The difference is that porno is a reliable business, and the dilute-GBL guys just folded and disappeared. OP's may have the money and the campaign contributions to over-ride the DEA. One thing for sure - this is about money and politics, not about your suffering.
