Fake medicines, which in large parts of the world account for up to one-third of all medicines, are increasingly dominated by organized crime, according to a World Health Organization report.

As many as three out of every 10 pharmaceutical products in the African, Asian, and Latin-American pharmaceutical supply chain are fake, making the illegal industry worth billions, says the WHO.

The “low risks and high returns” attract criminal groups, said Yury Fedotov, executive director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, in a statement. “These counterfeit goods indiscriminately kill, depriving the poorest of lifesaving medicines and leading to countless deaths,” he added.

According to the WHO, counterfeit drugs refer to a range of illicit products, including items with the wrong ingredients, without active ingredients, or without enough or with too much active ingredient.

It is not only the developing world that is affected by potentially dangerous doses. In April, Briton Peter Gillespie, 64, was sentenced to jail for eight years for his involvement in bringing millions of counterfeit drugs into Europe. Gillespie was part of a global network of fake drug trafficking and money laundering.

As long as the real chemical in it in the proper dose or even more i won't be complaining, but if they are just making bunk pills... that would piss me off... I guess we know where these Bunk Oxys and such are coming from..... I am just happy i have not been running into any fake Pharms... but i have been running into a SHITLOAD of beat Molly or Beans.... which is pissing me of and killing that drug scene like whoa.... Never in my 10 years of rolling i have ran into so many beat Beans...Back in the day a bad bean was a methbomb, now your lucky to even get a methbomb; instead your getting Pipes and other bullshit RC being pawned off as Mollly or XTC :( .... We need some chemists with some Morals that will sell real molly/beans instead of pawning off this bullshit that has been flooding the scene
 
let me say that Toronto has a very few good people and I know of 2 personal incidences of fake oxy's; they were both fake 80mg oxy's.

The green was a slightly different shade and the test, and they peeled unlike the real ones, unevenly*** and finally, the taste test. Broken in half and licked the taste was not just like the real thing!

Be aware and always test your products. if you are unable to do so then move on.

By any chance where you getting of 80 OC's from someone who was getting it from Asians in Canada ?
 
This is referring more to counterfeits of legal drugs... Counterfeit OC is pretty easy to spot compared to, for example, counterfeit heart medication (especially after taking one). Also, the way in which these drugs are distributed is different.
