Countries where Gear is legal/illegal:

[TITANIUM]

This is a list of countries that gear is legally obtainable. I also found the following articles addressing the legalities of them. Feel free to add or subtract from the list. It would seem that in my research just about everything is illegal in the U.S.(But we all ready knew that).This should turn out to be an interesting thread.

Thailand
Mexico
Pakistan
India
Japan
Malaysia
China
Brazil
Venezuela
Nepal
Ukraine
Poland

1. Article 4.1 of the Anti-Doping Convention states: "The Parties shall where appropriate adopt measures to restrict the availability (including provisions to control movement, possession, importation, distribution and sale) as well as the use in sport of banned doping agents and doping methods and, in particular, anabolic steroids ".

2. Denmark, Norway and Sweden have adopted legislation making transfer, import or acquisition for the purpose of (financial) gain a crime. Canada has adopted legislation to reschedule anabolic steroids in the Food and Drugs Act, making it a criminal offence to import, export, traffic, manufacture or distribute all (human) steroid products, except by authorised persons or for authorised purposes. In Denmark and Sweden, use and in Norway, possession and use, remain unpenalised. Finland is contemplating similar legislation.

3. The United States of America has implemented the Steroid Control Act of 1990 which brings all steroids intended for human use under the provisions of the Controlled Substances Act. This criminalises production, trafficking, non-medical use, possession, or distribution of steroids with penalties of up to 20 years imprisonment, and/or $1m fine and/or asset forfeiture.

4. In most European countries other than those mentioned in paragraph 2 above, controls on anabolic steroids are exercised through existing medical drug control acts or regulations. These usually stite that obtaining drugs or pharmaceutical preparations containing steroid compounds is subject to appropriate medical prescriptions. However, it is believed that it is possible to obtain some such preparations in Belgium and Portugal over the counter (OTC) from a pharmacy. Unauthorised or unprescribed possession or use of such compounds is not usually penalised. Some doctors and pharmacists have however suffered penalties either under law or under their appropriate professional codes for illicit distribution of these drugs.

Laws banning gear a retarded. 99% of people convicted of steroids use have no past criminal record.

Well I agree but there are always the people that abuse everything. I think that I could do alot of liver damage drinking alcohol.Or smoking cigarettes to get lung cancer.I thing that those are socially acceptable "norms" so to speak. They are allowed largely on the fact that they are a taxable commodity.Here in the US where they make buying lottery tickets legal but make privatized gambling illegal.Why, like I said tax revenue reasons.
Alot of do as I say, not as I do regulations.............

last time i was in mexico. the gear selection was crap. over-priced from brands i have never herd of before.

[DanB]

from what i hear from people over here (ireland) is that gear is illegal to import, legal for personal possession, not sure on accuracy of that as its only ''word on street'' so to speak, id still be a little hesitant to walk into local garda(police) station and tell them what i have, and i also believe that it is similar suitation in u.k. although again i could be wrong

[snowman]

In Brazil it is NOT legally obtained... as of matter of fact products like Jacked3d, 1.M.R, animal pump ( and other products) are prohibited to be sold in Brazil... people still get jack3d ,1mr and other products, but they buy it on the net ,and its sold in Gyms without anyone knowing...as for real gear, they make their own (most people i know) or buy it on the net.
As for everything you said about Portugal... yes you are right, you can obtain most products over the counter without a prescription ( i'm currently living here in POrtugal)... as for this statement " Unauthorised or unprescribed possession or use of such compounds is not usually penalised. Some doctors and pharmacists have however suffered penalties either under law or under their appropriate professional codes for illicit distribution of these drugs."...this is also true, but IF the pharmacist know you, he will give it to you no problem,because he knows you are not going to say anything.
In Spain, is also easily obtainable in a pharmacy...

OK, we are having a pretty good feedback here.I posted this for two reasons. One is that I wanted to know from members what they knew about the laws that govern them in the countries they live in. Two is that I am in hopes of it turning into an educational thread.The topic itself is a sound one.Lets keep the thread going and see what kind of list we end up with.

is this legal or if you know right people because i know from personal experience that in greece you can obtain from pharmacy if you know right people but its still illegal for them to do this

It's legal in the US you just need to be prescribed. A girl that wants to become a boy can get it prescribed but for a guy that wants to have some if he is low it's pretty hard to come by.

That's because it's a effed up governance over here. But where there's a will there's a way. You just need to be creative..

I never thought about it that way. So let's get this straight. If I'm not happy with the way I look, and being bigger would make me happy, it's illegal. But if somebody else is not happy with the way the look, but want to look more masculine, it's legal?

So what's the difference here? Is it because they were born is a female's body? Shit...I was born in a weenie's body!!!! GIVE ME SOME GEAR!!!!! LOL

[ramacher]

I think it is almost better that it is illegal here in the US, otherwise you wouldn't have the great selection of underground labs to purchase from at low prices, instead of buying it legally at probably higher prices from pharmacies.

[slfmade]

I haven't cycled yet, but I would far rather pay a little higher price for a quality product then from a UGL that you can never be 100% sure about.

Make your own. It's so cheap it's almost stupid, and even a complete idiot could do it. As far as legality goes, don't sell to anyone and keep it out of your car and you are fine. There are meth labs and crack houses that need busting.

good point, same over here, with our rip off ireland mentality im sure pharmacys would charge extortionate prices and a hefty goverment tax on top for good measure

I would love too but I was a B student in chemistry...I'm afraid I would fvck it up. I read one of the threads here about somebody that made a mistake in their calculations when making clen and almost killed themselves. Scary!

I didn't even take chemistry lol. It's a very easy process as long as you can read a syringe. It's all about knowing the proper ratios of ingredients and some simple math. I feel I have already done enough hijacking of this thread though. There is a home brew section on this forum if you want to learn more.

Well, I don't plan on running a cycle until De***ber, but I'll take a look. At the very least it'll be interesting to learn. How difficult is it to get the powders? Are there domestic suppliers? Ah shit, now I'm hijacking...

My mom asked me one time if I was visiting Mexico and Thailand so much was because I was smuggling drugs; brother and sisters' influence. I told her no, it was to risky and not profitable enough and I was trafficking women. LOL Stupid siblings who were jelous because I would get away from the cold and rin during the winter and go play in the sun.

Make sure the cigars you bring back are fresh!

nothing worse than a fine cigar gone to sh1t because it dried out

[pikenat]

If purchasing over seas what's the best way to get it back? Mail it back or bring it back

[snowman]

is this legal or if you know right people because i know from personal experience that in greece you can obtain from pharmacy if you know right people but its still illegal for them to do this

not sure IF its legal in Spain... but i go to a pharmacy in Spain and ask for test E 250 and Deca 50, and they give it to me.... that's why i said " its easily obtainable"...so far i went to 3 different pharmacy's in spain and got what i needed...ive also got some gear from greece, but by mail...lol... best thing that happened in Europe, was getting all the countries together, and get rid of boarders, you cross to another country and back, get what you need, and no one stops you ( unless you are unlucky)

[snowman]

Mail it back.... never bring it with you...If you mail it and customs get it, then, you get a notice at your door that they have you package, IF you bring it with you, and they get you....well, most likely ( depends where you are) you will do some jail time

[DanB]

now that i think of it i believe it can easily be bought from pharmacy in turkey and bulgaria aswell but im not sure on the legal status of this

The maximum is not "3 amps/vials in Eygpt". I have bought 100's of amps at a time in Eygpt and brought them back.

I was told you're not allowed to bring back over £145 worth, so get a receipt for that figure.

[Swifto]

Some places, even if its not legal per se, you can obtain it anyway.

Bulgaria being one I did that at and also Spain about 6 years ago.

[terraj]

Japan is not legal without a prescription
