I think that in a roundabout

I think that in a roundabout way, it makes perfect sense for countries to ban buying drugs from outside its borders - in a roundabout way. The government purports to be responsible for its citizens, so I am going by the assumption that they are saying that the drugs available within their borders have been certified and approved as "effective", or fit for consumption, in any case, and that they cannot vouch for the same in the cases of drugs marketed in other countries. So illegalizing it is their way of saying if you try it, you are on your own. Going by that, yeah, I think it makes perfect sense.  I don't think that it necessarily works that way in real life: I figure Pfizer Europe/Canada is produces the same quality drugs as Pfizer America...... whatever. I think it is more complicated sometimes than we think. And i don't know who is wrong - us who see things as simple, or the government, who makes everything complicated.
