Selling it

O, no Canada

Think Global Pharmacy Canada sells drugs made in Canada under that country’s regulations? Au contraire.

And this site is on the “not recommended” list of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy because it appears to be “out of compliance” with laws or NABP standards.

Get an Awesome Auger for $19.95, plus two freebies? Great. But mind the teeny “S&P” (shipping and processing) under each item. Only after calling to place an order did we find out that the total for the Awesome Auger, “free” drill, and “free” weed aug would be $56.80.
