If you walk down Sukhumvit road, you can buy knifes, batons and tear gas in the open. Yeah, that's illegal too. When it comes to prescription drugs its the same story: they're sold everywhere without a subscription yet that very act is, you guessed it, illegal. Technically you cannot buy sex, guns or juice in Thailand. Something of a controversy no!?
There is also an ongoing crackdown on illegal drugs going on (see the SBC blog) and luggage on domestic as well as international flights are always subject to search.
I would probably mail it or use another mode of transport.
