Illegal Drugs Problem To Escalate With New 3D Printing Technology
Miami, FL (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- The Week (6/26) has reported in Can you 3D print drugs? that in as little as 5-10 years, it may be possible for someone at home to 3D print prescription drugs. Lee Cronin, a chemist from the University of Glasgow claims to have prototyped a 3D printer capable of assembling chemical compounds on the molecular level. "What Apple did for music," Cronin said, "I'd like to do for the discovery and distribution of prescription drugs."
Illegal drug use is already on the rise and with this new technology on the horizon, substance abuse will only worsen. There are already many designer drugs on the market and now with 3D drug printing technology looming, there will be a proliferation of even more illegal substances.
It is critical for anyone suffering from the harmful effects of a drug dependency to get the professional help they need to recover. Located in South Florida, Harbor Village, allows clients to receive private drug treatment in a luxury, state-of-the art environment. Clients are welcomed with upscale accommodations including a beautifully furnished suite with satellite television, over an acre of outdoor lounge area, spa, salon, massage and acupuncture services, nutritious, gourmet dining and the personalized support of a friendly, knowledgeable staff.
According to Can you 3D print drugs?, Cronin, says users would go to an online drugstore with their digital prescription, buy the "blueprint" and the chemical "ink" they need, and then print the drug at home with software and a 3D molecular printer.
The advantage, of course, is that the advent of home-printed drugs would open up "the way for personal medicine," Cronin tells Vice. "In the future, we will not sell drugs, but blueprints or apps," says Cronin.
The ability for consumers to obtain their medicine would include several benefits including lower cost, and fewer trips to the doctor when you're sick.
Of course, there's a serious destructive force lurking with drugs printed at home. More than likely amateur chemists will create new designer drugs at in-home labs.
“The number of people dying from illegal drugs is spiraling out of control. Don't be the next victim. Check into a detox center such as Harbor Village,” said Robert Niznik, Harbor Village CEO.
