The Department of Justice’s 2009 National Drug Threat Assessment, among other things, predicts that the Ryan Haight Act will “most likely reduce the number of rogue internet pharmacies selling controlled prescription drugs.” The report further states that the Act “prohibits the delivery, distribution, and dispensing of controlled substances over the internet without a prescription written by a doctor who has conducted at least one in-person examination of the patient.”
This quote interestingly and confusingly comes from the same Department prosecuting individuals for the very same offenses long before the passage of the Ryan Haight Act. Again, this is just further support of, at the very least, the tremendous lack of clarity in internet pharmacy law.
