> 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.
Cam,
OK. You've made a good point. People should know what the risks are even if they are not that great (US only) at the moment. In the US this is a grey area as JohnL said. Most of the time customs lets drugs through. Sometimes they seize them. But that ambiguity can't last and the first time we hear that it has changed will be when Customs starts seizing shipments AND prosecuting.And if you decide to take the risk make sure you know what category your drugs fall into! The ban on importing scheduled drugs is not at all a grey area!
