Going to get some gear in TJ - need advice.

What's the big deal about mentioning the name of LEGAL establishments outside of the United States? You think that mentioning them is going to alert customs of something new? GIVE ME A BREAK. Steroid purchase and possession is not controlled in Mexico, unlike here. There's nothing wrong with mentioning GRANERO EL ALAZON. It's just a place of business -- not a source.

Im suprised by your response?? While yes you can go to various websites and get information on various vet shops in TJ and elsewhere in Mexico. Does that mean we need to continually mention certain shops, giving them undue attention?? You don't think that if it is read enough by customs, ect that they may get the clue that alot of bros shop there?? Maybe even consider placing more focus on that particular area or shop? I am very unclear why this is seen as OK. I would perfer as little attention to the places I shop as possible. Let customs or anyone else interested in our activities have as little information as possible. Let them go to the websites as you say and go down the list. Lets just not help them narrow it down...

I agree, let the Feds figure it out without extra help. Why call attention to certain establishments especially when they are so close to the border.

Jesus Christ.

1. Steroids ARE controlled in Mexico, they're just a lot lower on the ladder, but you CAN get busted by local cops.

2. Don't mention stores cuz DEA watch pharmacies and bust people at the border when they try to cross. You're giving them another store to watch, incidentally one which I frequent, and I'd rather NOT have anybody watching me buy shit there for OBVIOUS REASONS. Just keep this stuff to PM, it's not that difficult, there's no good reason to put this on a public message board.

Now mods, do some editing again...

Bro, It sucks going there and having a bunch of idiots (a guy and all of his buddies)there wearing wife beaters clogging the place up and making other discreet people a target.
Of course these places are well known. Anyone doubting that is a fool. However, people dont need to flagrant and sloppy. Also if you dont think that periodially those places are scoped out (spring break time in particular) then you haven't seen what I have.
The less we talk about things the better thats all.

You're wondering why?

This post is a perfect example of how someone new to Elitefitness is treated like a stupid moron for saying something that he/she thought was ok. I understand all the points made in this post about having to be on the down but the original poster obviously didn't know the 'ins' of this board. How do you expect them to when they first discover Elitefitness? I understand about searching for information desired; It's the way to get lots of answers. But there are also people on here who recently found this site. Message boards are for posting and reading messages. So what do they do? They post a message. It's going to be about something they want to know. And, likely, they won't post in the way that they will once they're here for a while. So it just seems that SOME of the dudes with like thousands of posts under their belt should lighten up. Maybe PM a list of "understood rules" to newbies when you see them enter 'your' world.

Just a thought.

First off all, as the one who started this thread, I would like to say a couple of things:

1. I wasn't asking for GPS directions to local TJ farmacias. Just the names of some local chains who sell good stuff.....I've done my goddamn searches and spend hours looking on this site and haven't found the answers I'm looking for.

2. I was asking anyone in the know what a good cycle would be for my current physical condidtion. (one that I could pick up in Mex)

PM's and emails are fine, but dont go raging around pointing fingers and pissing everyone off. That was not the point of this thread. I've spend more of my time on the internet on this board than anything else, so I'm familiar with the "rules" and whatnot. How hard is it to get simple answers without everyone freaking out?

CN1, thanks for the email, I'll hit you back.
