text: hey, why is prescription drugs crossed over the borders of the us made illegal? me and a friend have been searching this question for days and we were also concidering the pros and cons. we're specifically looking at the cons but we can't figure out what's so bad about prescription drugs from foreign countries. help! because the u.s. companies don't like the competition. no other reason! because we can sue the foreign companies unlike the u.s. where you have the conservatives passing tort reform laws  making it impossible to sue them for gross negligence in case you have not followed any news lately about the big american pharmaceutical companies and their false fda studies!
