New Customs Law???

**pinhead** · 07-01-2004, 05:44 PM

I'm going on vacation and I was reading the customs website when I came across this

U.S. residents entering the United States at international land borders, who are carrying a validly obtained controlled substance (except narcotics such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or LSD), are subject to certain additional requirements. If a U.S. resident wants to bring in a controlled substance other than narcotics such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or LSD, but does not have a prescription for the substance issued by a U.S.-licensed practitioner (e.g., physician, dentist, etc.) registered with and authorized by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to prescribe the medication, the individual may not import more than 50 dosage units of the medication. If the U.S. resident has a prescription for the controlled substance issued by a DEA registrant, more than 50 dosage units may be imported by that person, provided all other legal requirements are met.

Please note that only medications that can be legally prescribed in the United States may be imported for personal use. Be aware that possession of certain substances may also violate state laws.

Has anyone tried this any comments???

You go ahead and try it... let me know how it works out for you.

What that says is that it isn't illegal to import more than 50 dosage units, but the mere possession of it once in the country is illegal, so you won't get far with it.

Thats EXACTLY what it says because the STATE LAWS say NO WAY. So once you get into the US you are done. But if you wanna try it let me know how it works out for ya

Actually you can!!!! I have done it, as well as a handful of other people I know as well. Go to Elite and I know some bros have done it from there as well. You can find the logistics at the us customs site. Print a copy of the ammended law (must be .pdf). If you don't believe me call your local customs agency, and if the person you talk to is dumb, talk to a supervisor. There are restrictions however but you will find it all on the customs web site. Go ahead and call me a liar, but next time you come to NM I will take you myself, and when it's all said and done you can buy me a beer

i have gone to mexico and claimed 90days worth of Valium, Xanex, and Somas at the customs office. but you guys are correct, once in the US if your caught, your going to jail. talk about a catch 22...

**nickrizz** · 07-01-2004, 06:50 PM

If you are telling the truth I would do it. I aint afraid of a punk ass non controoled substance charge. See you guys that never been arrested dont have the luxury that I have. Since I already have a record I dont care about picking up a new "little" charge. If someone mouths off, I can break his jaw, and if I use my bare hand, no big deal, its only misdermeanor assault.

someone in customs or a regular person, i dont understand how it related to getting arrested, whatever, it doesnt matter, i read into things too much.

**Lozgod** · 07-01-2004, 07:16 PM

Yeah you did this time. I am talking about a guy at a club, not a uniformed enforcer of the law with back-up at his disposal. lol

**nickrizz** · 07-01-2004, 07:17 PM

thats why i was confused. lol, it seems like i run into you in every topic lol

**stengun** · 07-01-2004, 08:38 PM

Howdy,

Gee, we've been over this a billion times already. It just doesn't work that way. Read the entire law/reg, then read the FDA's laws/reg. Then, remember that the Gov't talks out the side of their mouth by saying stuff like "you may" or "under some conditions" and "at the descriction", etc.

It's also a Fed. misdemeanor to possess 99 lbs of weed into the US. All they can do to you is give you a ticket to appear in court and then you have to pay a fine. But they will notify the local police and it's a felony possess 99lbs of weed and you will go to jail.

Read, read, and read some more.

i knew it wasnt that east, oh well

**palequail** · 07-01-2004, 10:15 PM

I just might have to try this...

**Animal Cracker** · 07-02-2004, 02:36 AM

I wont try!

**Anhydro78** · 07-02-2004, 03:45 AM

You know its not a felony to assult a police officer!!! Catch 22, even if you kick his ass you will get your ass kicked by them at some point.

**bermich** · 07-02-2004, 03:51 AM

I brought in 51 dosages of crack and they let it slide. Kinda like the fast check out line when you have 13 items instead of 12. I just kept on walking across the border. No problems.....

It's a felony were I live. My cousin knocked out a state trooper and they identified him by searching his car and they found the stupid hat those cops wear. The one that makes there stupid asses look like park rangers.

LOL....... As well as mine... my LEFT forearm (tweaked a little though, he is holding dumbells and is stacked)

**edmen2** · 07-02-2004, 12:14 PM

as long as u dont live in san antonio tx i guess we r ok!

**m16a2** · 07-02-2004, 01:05 PM

I have done this before crossing the border. It is weird though, because in TJ, I declared some muscle relaxers and anti-es without much incident. In Nuevo Laredo, they said you just gotta declare them. In nogales, they said that you HAVE to have a prescription for ANY amount of medicine...

**bigbruver** · 07-13-2004, 05:28 PM

I have done so in nuevo progresso(south texas). But only with 8weeks amps of sus. so I am wondering what is considered 50 dosage units?

I brought 4 bottles of testosterone and 2 decas back in my video bag when I flew back from Mexico and aside from riding thru an Xray machine on the way into the country, no questions were asked. They didnt say anything about some Cuban cigars either but I think in real small quantity they let it pass willingfully. I seen the xray machines and you cant tell me you cant see steroid bottles with that machine.
