Thanks Sarah T. You made some interesting points. Dud pills would 'seem' like an obvious problem, as the vaccine seizure shows. But this is hardly the same. I think I'm correct in saying that Xanax and other benzos are so cheap to make, and have such a relatively small profit margin, there would be little point in making 'duds'.
The vaccine on the other hand is no surprise at all. With world wide pannick and the increasing shortage of the vaccine, not to mention the price of the stuff, someone was bound to try taking advantage of the situation.I beleive it happens alot with Patented drugs too. Because there is not yet a generic, drug companies get away with such extortionate pricing, someones going to want to take advantage.
Then, as soon as the generics come out, prices go down and the scammers loose interest.Anyway, I just rang up Customs. They say the drugs were simply wrapped in newspaper (!!!) and had no identifiable labling or documents other than my address. Apparently, it could have been anything, even though my letter clearly says 'class C drug', so they couldn't have been that hard to identify.
All seems very petty to me. They know what the pills are, my address is on the packet, so why dont they send me my flippin' parcel! GGgrrrrrr!
I'm not despirate for them, I only take benzos occasionally and I have plenty of Klonipin. But for those of you who have ordered similar things online, then you'll probably share my frustration in haveing to wait...and wait...AND WAIT! And by the time they do arrive, you've already given up and ordered some from somewhere else! Those damn conventional & stubborn UK docs, its all thier fault!Never mind me. I have a swollen foot and it kills like hell (edema I think). Off to the doc's soon. Nice man.
