    1. Thank you for participating in this meeting today. We have shared this information with some of the leadership within NIDA; Upon seeing it, they had a number of recommendations for me and among them was sharing this information with you; TRI has been the principle supporter of this research, providing financial support and scientific guidance. I will focus primarily on websites offering to sell opioid medications such as Vicodin and Oxycodone because of the immediate risks these drugs pose for overdose and physical dependence. However, a wide range of drugs are available, and to make that point, I will also share with you information about websites selling marijuana, as well.Thank you for participating in this meeting today.
