It's going to be mighty hard on you.

Oh shit, we're going to be hammered by spam now.

Something tells me it would be illegal, there is also a fake drug problem in India, so you'd have to test it first, not necessarily in the shop though.

As I understand it, there is no problem with carrying drugs for your personal use.

ironman · Feb 21st, 2007, 15:49

its a prescription drug in the uk & most other countries, so you would in theory need a prescription but unless you are bringing in large quantities i doubt you would be stopped.

I know in Australia, The penalties are very stiff.

Quantities over and above modest would probably get you into all kinds of trouble.

You'd be importing a drug which is covered by UK patents and which was manufactured by a company that didn't pay any royalty on those patents (which is why it, like a number of drugs, is cheap here).

But, If I had a million email addresses, I could start selling it to the few hundred people who reply, and send it in the post. Like so many spamming pharmaceutical sites seem to.

Now what did I do with that last 'we can sell you a million email addresses'?

Of course, if they could guarantee e-mail addresses, I'd buy like a shot!!

I'd advise caution...

If the above is true it must be pretty safe I guess?

. . .unless you are going to carry back a couple of thousand of course!

I know plenty of people who have taken it through. I also read of someone caught by X-Ray at the airport. The packs are metal with blister "windows". Buy Cialis(Megalis)which is in all metal.

Genuine Viagra is about the same price as UK. Don't ask me how I know all this.

"Men aged between 30 and 65 will be able to buy four pills for £50 after a consultation with the pharmacist."

Should get a few more beers

out of it then.

I'd star out that vi*g*a word in a hurry

- before the hard-on spammers return for a second wave to IM.
