Zo - I sorry, but both the FDA and Health Canada ARE trying to stop the import of medications, without a doctor's approval through legal channels, from coming into the respective countries. If one doesn't want to have every out of country importation, be it meds, illicit animal skins, CDs, legal books, clothes, etc., from being flagged by customs, I would suggest not to order prescription medication from foreign countries. Chances are, the medications will be sent back, and I doubt that you will get a refund.
Yes, we are all adults, but we also should not be taking medications without someone with an objective stance (ie. our doctors) watching over us. This is dangerous and could potentially be lifethreatening. We are not doctors; therefore we should not be prescribing medications, especially for ourselves. Doctors are not even supposed to presribe for themselves. They are not using objective reasoning when self-prescribing, and neither are we.
