Both activities appear to be illegal. It's fine to discuss here the pros and cons of the medications, just not how to obtain them in those ways. In fact, this site should not be used to facilitate any illegal activities.

Bob,While I'm not sure I agree with the new policy you have been enforcing re: mentioning URLs for obtaining meds - (I've never done it, and probably never would, I'm afraid of the law and the FDA and US Customs), I have a question. I could probably answer it for myself by doing some random checking, but have you now gone back and erased every reference on the archives to foreign pharmacies, and other kinds of URLs which sell unapproved drugs?
Just interested,
Wendy
