Well, first of all, I don't think you can make a blanket statement about this as we all know the DEA and for that matter the legal system in general evaluates these things on a case by case basis.

For example, to your legal precedent case, that would only hold true if the all the facts in the cases were the same. In other words, the same type of drug, same amount being ordered over the same period of time, as well as the mitigating factors in the case. For example if the dismissed case was for a 75 year old lady with no insurance and a history of diagnosed chronic illness buying pain meds for her personal use it would have little relation to a 25 year old guy buying large amounts of Vicodin with no medical history of need for them. The differences don’t even have to be that dramatic.

That said, speaking generally, I doubt the DEA would bother to attempt to prosecute someone unless they have verifiable records of that person ordering and receiving large quantities of controlled substances that clearly were not just for personal use.

It just wouldn’t be worth their time, effort, and especially, money otherwise. As I have mentioned in previous posts, they are interested in the big guys. They feel if they can shut these places down, they will have accomplished their goal. If they nab some illicit drug dealers who were simply using these sites as a way to obtain their product in the process cool, but that is about as far as I think it will go.

Imagine the field day the media would have if they did try to bring a case against someone, well, like the 75 year old lady example I used above. How precious government funds were being used to bring a federal case (which, since it involves interstate commerce it would have to be) against a little old lady trying to manage her pain.

So, unless you’re ordering large quantities of a controlled substance (in which case you should be well aware of the risks involved anyway) I don’t think most OP customers have much to worry about other than having a harder time trying to obtain their meds.
