Counterfeit Viagra More Profitable Than Shitty Cocaine

According to The European Alliance for Access to Safe Medicines (EAASM), drug gangs in Asia and Europe have been trafficking fake blue Viagra pills on the internet. The pills are made to look like the brand-name drug, but contain an unpredictable cocktail of prescription medicines including the active ingredient in Viagra.  A recent report in Singapore showed that the counterfeit boner pills were responsible for killing four men and putting three others in comas.  Jim Thompson, founder of the EAASM, says the reason for the popularity of the drugs among cocaine dealers is a pure numbers game:

“You can buy a kilo of the active ingredient of Viagra on a website for about £33 and you can make a lot of tablets from a kilo. The margin is about 2,000 times more profitable than cocaine.  If you bought a kilo of cocaine in Bogotá you would be lucky to get out alive, and if you were caught you would go to jail for a very long time.  With the pills you would be very unlucky to get more than three years if you got caught.”

So, the new lesson here, to be added to the Don’t Mix Poppers With Viagra rule, is: Don’t take fake Viagra pills from friends or tricks.  Just tell your doctor you need them; and if s/he won’t prescribe them to you, find a new fucking doctor.
