[peejae]

[Bald Gorilla]

Easy. Probably less scrutiny there than in the States most places.

 

[BigCracker]

I dunno. My bro was in desert storm and they couldn't even get antibiotics that easily.

US and UK politicians will tell you that it's very difficult to find anything in Iraq

I am working in Iraq right now and it is easy as hell. Sending stuff through the mail will get anything here. It has been about a year since I recieved some juice in the mail, but alcohol and drugs get shipped over here all the time.

You should be able to get stuff from Egypt and Iran at the local pharmacies....(heard that about 6mo. ago)

I used to work over there for a contractor, and I served during the invasion. Listen, anything you have mailed to your APO will go through US Post FIRST, then it will be mailed to you in-country. I recommend you follow the same precautions as getting it sent to you stateside. Also, DO NOT try to use Western Union via the phone. Iraq is marked for transactions. Use the Western Union at the PX. It is EXPENSIVE AS HELL; Even more expensive than here in the states, and they have those Filipino chicks at the counter who don't ask who you are sending it too or if you know them. I hope this helps.

If you work in Iraq, home brewing might be a hobby to consider.
