Bills would let Texans buy prescriptions from Canada
Under the proposals, state board would license Canadian pharmacies to ship directly to Texans

Two Houston Democrats on Wednesday touted legislation that they say would lower the cost of prescription drugs by allowing Texans to purchase their medicine from Canada.

The idea drew criticism from the pharmaceutical industry.

Under the proposal, the Texas State Board of Pharmacy would license Canadian pharmacies to sell and ship prescription drugs directly to Texans. Those pharmacies would be required to meet the same safety standards as pharmacies that operate in Texas and would be subject to random inspections.

2. Would make more sense
but I suppose that they (whoever that is regulating this) feel that drugs from Canada are safer. I dunno. :shrug:
