There has been a good level of coordination and cooperation between States on the issue of Internet sales of prescription drugs, but with the borderless nature of the Internet, States are still limited in their ability to protect consumers. Pending legislation would give States the ability, in appropriate circumstances, to go into Federal court to more effectively protect citizens. Witnesses: Betsy Durant, Dir., Office of Trade Programs, U.S. Customs Service; William Hubbard, Senior Associate Commissioner for Policy, Planning and Legislation, FDA; Ethan Posner, Deputy Associate Attorney General, U.S. Dept. of Justice; and Carla Stovall, Attorney General, State of Kansas.

This book examines the phenomenon of online drug and drug paraphernalia sales, drug recipes, and information about drugs. Discussing the availability of products and advice regarding prescription drugs, steroids, and illicit drugs, the book also offers a profile of who is buying, selling, and sharing these products and this information. Additionally, Hawking Hits on the Information Highway examines the rise of drug testing as a vehicle of the war on drugs, and looks at how the Web has been used to market products and tips for cheating on drug tests. The book identifies the challenges for law enforcement and other bodies in policing the Web, and details how Internet-based sales are altering the war on drugs. This groundbreaking book will particularly benefit students in college courses specifically addressing drugs, criminology, and law enforcement, and will be useful in any course examining wider social issues.
