I hate the border agents!!!

[Sinis]

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, but with physicians papers, you mean from a doc liscensed in the U.S. right? It wouldn't work with a foreign script. In this case, I'd just fill it in the U.S., but I doubt many have a script. Sheep is saying that while the law might appear to say you can imprt in practice the border agents do not.

No worries the law says you can, no questions. You are allowed to seek treatment in a FOREIGN country and import the required drugs into this country if the drugs are approved for use by the FDA. Customs allows the importation of 50 units. They refer said drugs to the FDA. The FDA states this:

or some evidence that the treatment was begun in a foreign country and that the drugs are being imported to continue/conclude the already begun treatment. Thus, while not the only documentation, either a U.S. or foreign prescription, along with an affirmation of personal use, could be supplied as evidence that this factor exists.

So, you do not need a US script. It is sufficient to have treatment performed by a foreign doctor, documented along with the APPROVED FDA drug. The ONLY hitch in this entire thing is that although the Feds allow the importation of said drug the State in which you live may have different laws that stipulate that a drug must be prescribed by a licensed US doc. This is completely seperate than what the Feds say. One such case is being battled out in Texas concerning this. The drugs were imported legally on the fed level but the State is saying otherwise. So unless you get popped by the State you are completely covered/allowed to import an APPROVED FDA drug into this country.

Re-read the last paragraph of Sinis's post.

You should have just strapped it on you.

They don't run you through the same kind of xray, if they even do at all.


I've done it amny times. Even on the planes. Never been caught.


Now everytime you try to cross the border your going to get hassled, because you were caught once.

Very true, EVERY time you re enter into the country they will run your name and you will get questioned or searched or both. That stigma will follow you for a very long time...

Thanks for the clarification bros, but in this case we are back to if not square one damn near it. Sinis, your explanation of the law is on point and I understand it now, but we ar still left with the other half of the battle. Black sheep is a good bro who can be taken at his word and he's saying that this move is not working in real world situations at the border.

They only fuck with you if they run your id. Alot of times they just ask a few questions and don't even run your id thru.

Funny story: I'll always remember the time that I was coming back and my fucking car died right in the middle of Revolution! I was shitting my pants, fixed the problem(which was related to the amount of gear I had there), and just as I did a Federali car passed by. I waved got in my car and then sweated the next hour while waiting in line. At the same time I was in an argument with my GF on the phone! Talk about stress. Waiting for my car to die again and then I'd be fucked. I pulled up to the station and the guy was just about to get off his shift. As he's getting up he says "U.S.?". I shook my head yes, and he says "go ahead"! I didn't even have to say a word! That's very rare my friends. I was lucky...

Well, I wish I had that kind of luck. I've been through the border several times and everytime (except this last one) they seem to be only concerned about my citizenship. (Never have to prove it though). But not this time.

It seems like they are more concerned about pot and perscription drugs than stopping illegal immigration, which in my opinion is a much bigger problem to society! (the libertarian in me is surely showing through) Who (besides them) really cares about Rx's and pot really? Not the general public! Just the elites in the government. But we can have millions of people come here illegaly and wreck our economy and drain our system of millions and millions of dollars, and big brother basically says, "come on in." CA is bankrupt because of it and soon AZ, NM and TX will be too. And God forbid another 9/11 happens because of holes in our border.

In the mean time, stop all the pot and prescriptions coming through!!! Yeah, that sounds like a great domestic policy!

Sorry, not a political site, I know...... Hmm...

Actually bro, they're not really that concerned about your citizenship. They ask you that question to get a read about if you have anything. Sometimes when I would roll up they wouldn't say anything, just stare me down. I noticed that if I just looked them in the eye and waited for them to speak first, it was cool. If I spoke first, like "Hi", they would start poking around in my car. Funny actually. I love psychology, so it amuses me...

Yeah Nogales scared me when I was there

This is not true. I live in AZ close to the border, and I have been to the border in Cali many times before.

You have to have a VALID US script in order to declare, then you can get a 90 day supply. You can get a script in Mexico for about $20, but the US Border patrol will NOT accept that, and will take your shit.

Just recently a 70 y.o man sat in jail for almost a month in mexico for buying perscription drugs without a valid script. The Mexican police caught him before he made it to the border. He was buying blood pressure medicine. You can search the archives at www.azcentral.com to find the storey, it was front page new 6 months ago or so.

YOU CANNOT DECLARE VET GEAR, unless you have the horse with you - LOL

I am not posting this based on what I have heard from " heard this from many REPUTABLE people", I know this to be true.
