title: Pharmaceuticals issue brief: on-line pharmacy.
abstract: This issue has picked up momentum in the last few months on the state and federal level spurred by legislation enacted in the previous session. Legislators this year are caught in the uncomfortable position of protecting their constituents through the regulation of potentially unsafe on-line drug dispensing, while simultaneously allowing consumers the benefits of easy access to drugs over the internet.
