A Drug Bust Of Bootleg Little Blue Pills Is Keeping Men Down

October 26, 2009 at 12:09 PM | by | Comment (1)

Drugs and airplanes hanging out together is nothing new, after all we’ve seen a lot of smuggling rings busted over the last year. Just recently officials caught up with a group that thought cocaine should get a first class seat aboard American Airlines. Well US Customs and Border Protection made another discovery, but this time the drug was a little more uplifting than the usual white powder or wacky tobacky.

Last week officials at the Miami International Airport seized over 20,000 counterfeit Viagra pills. That’s like fifty pounds of bootleg medication. It was a shipment from India that looked a little sketchy, and once they cracked it open they knew the pills were not on their way to your local Walgreens.

Not only was this illegal drug smuggling, but the medication didn’t even work. Customs sent it to the lab to get checked out and after doing some kind of science stuff with the pills—we hope—they discovered that the pills weren’t the real deal. If you make a habit of ordering medication over the Internet, your shipment might be a tad delayed to this recent bust.

I don't get it

Okay, so smuggling drugs on an airplane is bad, but when it comes to things like Viagra - it can be bought legitimately online! Why go to the trouble of smuggling it into the country when you can sell it over the internet and just put it in the mail?
