Dr. Bob,
There's a post re getting buprenorphine from the internet on psychobabble today. I think it may be a new poster who doesn't know what the rules are about "trading" information about getting meds.
Is there a place where this is specifically written up? My assumption is that it is fine to talk about where the best place is to get FDA approved drugs with a prescription. But I'm not even positive about that.
Anyway, when I started to let the poster know the exact rules concerning sharing where to get medications off the internet (or anywhere), and discussing prices, etc., I realized that I don't actually know the exact rules. I'm also not sure where it is written out (or if it is written out).
Could you direct me, please. I think it is important enough for it to be mentioned in the introduction to PB and maybe linked to the exact rule. It would save a lot of time for those of us who feel some obligation to let a new poster know; it would also clarify that this is not an individual response from the reader, but a board rule. The last time this came up, the poster thought that he/she was being "attacked" personally by another poster.
Or all this could already be there and I've just missed it (won't be the first time).
