Is it safe and legal to use online pharmacies? (prescription, insurance, reviews)

[Snownator]

Hey, guys, my insurance won't cover the lab before I meet my deductible and I do not feel like spending 500$ +the cost of the drug just to get a prescription, I have a question to ask. If I am looking at the alternative options to get my meds online, is it safe and legal to use the online pharmacies (I am in the US)?

Ordering some drugs from overseas without a script is usually not a problem or at least is a 'gray area', AFAIK.

Any opioids and benzodiazepines [valium, xanax etc] are probably a huge no-no and are getting more perilous everyday... they may be impure/contaminated or you just may end up getting prosecuted.

I think "safe" is really a matter of choosing the right one. I've heard lots of stories of people getting sugar pills, or nothing at all. Did a quick search, there's plenty of sites that do reviews of them like this one that seems to be pretty in depth.

As far as legality, I've got no clue but it seems it will depend on source and whether or not you have a script?

True. If any online pharmacy offers those kinds of meds without an Rx, don't trust them.

I am definitely staying away from those that are willing to sell you anything without Rx. I think this is #1 sign of not a legitimate operation. I guess checking out the accreditation is a safe bet.
