"They are really taking the place of traditional drug traffickers," INCB President Hamid Ghodse said at a news conference ahead of the report's release.
"Billions of (doses of) controlled substances -- some of them highly potent drugs such as oxycodone, which is equivalent to morphine, and fentanyl, which is many times stronger than morphine -- are sold by unlicensed Internet pharmacies," he added.
Unfortunately many of these drugs are coming into the U.S. from places as far away as Afghanistan and Iraq due to the instability of the region. And ordering them is only a click away. More cooperation is need internationally to counter these efforts (especially from Pakistan as they are ignoring some shipments from their shores), otherwise we are going to see more powerful drugs in the hands of younger kids. Selah.
