Interesting juxtaposition of two articles in Monday's Washington Post:
"Eli Lilly Puts a Limit on Drug Sales to Canadian Pharmacies" ("Starting
immediately, if a Canadian wholesaler tries to order more Lilly product than
Lilly's estimate of what is appropriate for Canadian use, "they will not be
able to have it," Smith said.")
The other "Internet Trafficking in Narcotics Has Surged" is about how the
government is unable to stop the illegal dispensing of drugs over the
Internet.
What's the lesson here? That drug companies can control the sale of their
products when it's in their best interest?
