Why a name like DrugBuyers.Com?
It may look bad to some, but it is a good name and very respectable. Just as good as "prescription drugs", "drugstore", "drug company", and others...
Our name is composed of two words:
Word one: drug
Word two: buyers
We all know what "buyers" means but the word drug is not so clear.
Please see below for what the best dictionaries think the word "drug" means...
Merriam-Webster Online

When no one in your family understands why we need a forum like this, and they are nosey when you are online, the name really make them think the worst of you, I posted in another section about the name of the site with some suggestions for site names, I thought of MEDICINE SUPPORT FORUM and MEDICINE BUYERS FORUM and a couple others they were just suggestions. But it true that a lot of people cannot be on the site when certain members of their family are home because they see the name of the site and automatically think oh you are a drug addict. Thanks for listening to my post and I will say no more about it

the words 'drugbuyers' used to be a lot bigger than they are now. I mean, A LOT! you could see it 5 feet away. I think they've done good with making it smaller and I don't think it's wise to change a popular website all the sudden. My kids know I go here and they know I talk to people about pain issues. I'm mostly on the vip side, but it's still the same.
