Newbie member with a question.
Hello everyone, may I just say I am happy to be a member of this website. I had heard about it from a nice guy I occassionally lift with at the local gym. I have a question for anyone who may be able to answer it. I noticed an advertisement here for foriegn pharmaceutical companies that will sell particular "supplements" to us stranded here in the non-understanding US of A when it comes to our desire for bigger and better gains. As a person, I was involved in a rather harsh accident that left me incapacitated for over 2 years. At the time I was 23 years old and I was an avid gym member who enjoyed a very active lifestyle. I was in great shape and was happy with myself. After the accident I sort of got depressed and down on myself and let myself go entirely. now that I am recovered, as well as in a much better mental state I am prepared to come back to the things I enjoyed the most. Mainly, lifting, running and sports. I was interested in this web page and I was curious about some of the Q/A things it had. For instance, it said for it to be legal we could not order more than a 90 day supply of a drug. Now, does that mean if it is under 90 days we cannot be arrested? That seems to make very little sense. I am weary of ordering anything illegal and having it shipped by mail but I am slo somewhat ignorant on law, does anyone have any advice for me in this situation? I don't mean to bring down a sponsor or anything, I was just hoping someone had soem experienc eor knowldge in this area. Thank you for your time. :afro:

Welcome to the board, Beat Down Wrinkles. (May I call you Beat? :D)
It's very simple: The 90-day rule has to do with legal prescription drugs. For example, many senior citizens who do not have prescription plans will go across the border to Canada or Mexico to buy drugs that treat everything from heart conditions to high blood pressure to high cholesterol to diabetes. THe retail prices across the border are significantly cheaper than they are here in the States.
For them (or anyone else using legitimate prescription drugs), it is legal to bring back up to a 90-day supply of a drug as long as they have a prescription for it. This extends to legal supplements and anabolic steroids (such as testosterone), but requires that you have a hardcopy of your prescription to show to Customs at the border, not just the prescription bottle.
Also, if something requires a prescription in the United States but is available over the counter in Canada or Mexico, you still need a prescription to bring it across the border. Common examples are Claritin and Allegra (which require a prescription in the U.S., although there is talk about making them available over the counter, as they already are in Canada).
Therefore, if you do not have a prescription for, say, testosterone, you can not legally bring it into the U.S. (or have it shipped into the U.S.). I'm covered by prescription, so I've never had a problem crossing the border with test (which I get in Canada), but you can bet your butt that when Customs asks, "What do you have to declare?" I'm handing them the hard copy of the prescriptions when I tell them what I'm bringing back. (And yes, I do tell them. Hell, when you're covered legally, it's fun.)
Obviously, anabolic steroids that are not available in the United States will raise a red flag with Customs, as will any drug that is not covered by a prescription. Any drug that is covered by a prescription but is not used by a person for whom it is clinically intended (such as guys using Clomid, Nolva, or Arimidex, all of which are clinically intended for women) will also raise suspicions. Likewise, if you are personally crossing the border with drugs that are popular for AS purposes, you will raise more suspicion if you are in your teens or 20's than you will if you are older, especially if you are a bodybuilder or weight lifter.
Finally, when drugs are shipped to the U.S. from any country other than Canada, it will also raise suspicions. (Mexico will raise suspicions because it is such a common source for anabolic steroids; Europe and Asia will raise suspicions because most people in the U.S. do not order legit prescriptions from those areas.)

Beat is so much friendlier and less formal than Mr. Wrinkles. :D
