Ways You Might Be Breaking the Law (With Your Tech)
9. Surfing for Drugs
If you can't buy something legally on a street corner, you can't do it online, either. So, pill poppers will have to meet with a real doctor before they can get any Vicodin, OxyContin or Xanax. In October 2008, Congress passed a law that allows pharmacies to fill only prescriptions from doctors who examined the patient in person. Simply filling out a questionnaire on a Web site won't cut it legally anymore.
