Your parents always told you to stay away from drugs, but as we got older we learned that there are good drugs and bad drugs.

Tylenol = Good

Cocaine = Bad

ect, ect

What about the kinds of drugs you can find off the Internet? Well, there’s a fine line. What’s good for you may not be good for someone else. The drug may or may not contain street drugs. There was once a company that was giving away free ecstasy and many diet pills contain amphetamines (speed). This is not all uncommon. Many people are ordering these kinds of pills and eating them, making themselves sick.

Here are a few points to keep yourself safe.

1. Research the ingredients of the pill. If you do not understand the ingredients list, Wikipedia.org has an awesome database to take advantage of.

2. If you can’t find the ingredients for the pill on the website do not order it.

3. Do not order drugs you (or whomever you are ordering for) does not have a use for. This will avoid pills in your medicine cabinet you are likely to take later when it has expired (many do not have an expiry date) or you may simply end up with a pile of drugs you eventually forget what they were all for, since many are poorly labeled.

4. Don’t just eat any pill that comes in the mail. I know this sounds obvious but there are way too many posts on the message board about people getting sick from drugs to think people are being cautious.

4. Ask your doctor if you have any concerns. If you see something online and you think it may be for you, talk about with your health professional.

5. When in doubt, don’t order it.
