Rape is a serious offense and an involving physical assault and warrants a custodial sentence for a period of time.
This "incident" does not involved selling cocaine as the DOJ would like to think in their statements. It involves the purchase of pharma products which should normally be prescribed by a physician - and would agree, this can carry varying degrees of risk unless these prescriptions are monitored together with patient history.
The flipside is that drugs, particularly in the US, are a total ripoff and can see an advantage where folks cannot or are not willing to pay the amounts charged within the US. It's exactly for that reason a number of people buy medications in Canada.
There is also another level - that of US pharma corps. If this case was solely about the welfare of the purchasers, it may have more weight - but doubt that is the case and suspect there is an element of pharma corps protecting their "legal drug dealing" and the profits arising from that. The internet has introduced an angle where the traditional lobbyists cannot reach and enables others to take a cut of the pie.
That said, and only my
- but if I was a doc, I'd not feel right about issuing prescriptions to people I don't know. But hell - I doubt the average doc in the US actually "knows" their patients either - they were trained by the drugs companies to perform - so.....
