That spam that Whitcon was mailing was pretty nasty stuff. I also disagree with a lot of that supposed "mainstream" pharma shit. A bunch of totally uninformed webmasters selling drugs like ersatz viagra...which, as it turned out, contained real viagra which can cause all kinds of heart problems.
This is just wrong. And don't blame the consumer for trusting the vendor. That is like blaming the victim.
