NO, the ROPS wont be any harder to prosecute. BUT, NROPS are here one day, gone the next. where as ROPS tend to stay around a bit longer. I think that in itself says soemthing. And I totally agree bout the DEA thinking they can do whatever they want etc. As for kids ordering: I think it's all our responsibilities. we all share this country together. "it takes a village". most kids these days have no parental guidance. the internet and TV is their education/babysitter. most paretns these days dont have ANY clue what their kids are doing.

Steve, I think you must have missed TvTime's point:
[TVtime421 Quote]: I also think it's interesting that you think that NROP's somehow endanger "legitimate", providers. Surely, you know that legitimate doctors are arrested on a regular basis for having the audacity to prescribe pain medicine to people who are in pain. You really think it matters how legitimate they are? The way the drug laws are being enforced, the self-righteous geniuses of the DEA think that they are better qualified to judge these decisions than doctors are . But you can bet, if they DO start sniffing around, then the law won't find the ROP's to be any harder to prosecute than anyone else. After all, they prescribe narcotics to people who are in pain. If regular walk-in doctors get arrested for that, why wouldn't Internet doctors.[End Quote]
This part:
~~"Surely, you know that legitimate doctors are arrested on a regular basis for having the audacity to prescribe pain medicine to people who are in pain."~~
The DEA is going after regular appointment setting, sit down & talk to, test running, BUT pain med prescribing doctors & these doctors are being arrested! This is what TVtime421 is talking about, if they aren't safe, then ROPs aren't either.....JMO!
Regarding Kids, I agree with timetogo:

Stevesmith, when I get to take a deduction on my tax return for other people's kids, then I might start being concerned about what they do...otherwise, it is not MY problem, and I don't like my liberties as an ADULT being infringed upon because other people don't give a hoot what THEIR kids do. Kids drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, sniff paint and glue and all manner of things, but why should this work out to be MY problem?[end quote]
As my mother always says, you can't save the world!
