8. It is still technically illegal, but in 2006 restrictions were
eased and people now are buying their medications from Canada without having them confiscated. Not sure what prompted the Bush Administration to stop the draconian seizures of senier's medications, but apparently it was very controversial and was costing them votes.

U.S. government announces it will stop illegal seizures of prescription drugs from Canada

(NaturalNews) The U.S. government announced yesterday that it will no longer seize small shipments of illegal Canadian pharmaceuticals at the border, which overturns months of aggressive seizures that have resulted in 40,000 confiscations nationwide.

Though it is still illegal to import pharmaceuticals from Canada or other countries, the government says it is backing off strict enforcements that have irritated elderly consumers buying cheaper Canadian drugs. However, the Bush administration still claims that importing Canadian drugs is dangerous because the medicines could be inferior or counterfeit.


They were still telling the lie that Canadian drugs were inferior to US drugs. Many times, they are the exact same products. But sold here for far more money.
