Thank god the government and the medical establishment is there to protect me from self-prescribing Retin-A, adderal or a beta-blocker. I look forward to the day when they can bill my insurance company for advising me on taking a teaspoon of cough syrup.

If your parcel is seized, unless you are importing a lot of a scheduled drug, punishment is a wristslap; what is called a "love letter".

It's seized as a patent infringement if it's something like Cialis.The Lilly co. has put a lot of pressure on Indian companies so that they no longer even ship it to the US. Viagra's patent has almost run out so they're not so worried about these generics anymore.

Cough syrup can be very addicting esp if you take the hydrocodone or dilaudid syrup. A teaspoon of Hydodan is like taking a vicodan except without all that nasty aceteminophen in it.

I wouldn't listen to this guy. Receiving/importing any amount of a scheduled substance is highly illegal and a felony if sent by USPS.

No, he's right. You just get a seizure letter.

Unless you are attempting to import A LOT of scheduled r/x medications (normally of the opiate class, numbering in the thousands of pills), you will receive what is called a love letter. There are bigger fish to fry than a housewife in Nebraska ordering 2 months worth of valium. A love letter will state basically what I outlined in my earlier post. Here is an example (note it looks scary, but read it -- nothing:

Believe it or not, tens of thousands of "illegal" prescription drugs enter through US customs daily. If CBP were to attempt to locate and prosecute every recipient of these drugs they would touch a drop in the bucket. And it would not be worthwhile. The recipients recourse is practically limitless with a half decent attorney, if you even needed one. Locating and prosecuting international online pharmacies would normally prove to be just as pointless. Every few years the FDA and CBP will bust up an international conglomerate responsible for bringing X amount of r/x into the states. As the Feds cheer victory, the same conglomerate is restored in a matter of months or weeks, and several new ones spring up in the interim as well to pick up that lost business. "The war on drugs" In 2011 it is still the wild wild west with respect to obtaining illegal prescription drugs from overseas. edit; doh! I mean 2010 - not 2011. gettin ahead of myself..
