Foreign Pharmacies http://www.snowcrest.net/drugreport/

Some sites selling Mexican pharmacy information and other foreign pharmacy information are ripping people off and getting them into trouble by suggesting that it is legal to import scheduled drugs through the mail. Not only do they tell you that it is legal, they also say that you don't even need a prescription. This advertising is totally false and only serves to intice you to buy their useless information.

I urge you to call the DEA and ask them if it is legal to import scheduled drugs through the mail. Their phone number is (202) 307-7182. They will tell you that, if caught, you will go to jail.

For those of you who do not know what scheduled drugs are, read these web sites: http://www.ceri.com/schedule.htm and http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/pubs/csa.htm. It is legal to import most scheduled drugs on your own person but not through the mail.

Some of these web sites claim to have hundreds of foreign pharmacy contacts but very few of their contacts will actually speak English or ship their products to the United States and fewer will ship you scheduled drugs. If you do find a foreign pharmacy that says they will ship you scheduled drugs, they will take your money and ship you nothing at all. If they are caught shipping scheduled drugs, they will be arrested the next time they step foot in this country. Most of these sites that claim to have hundreds of foreign pharmacy contacts actually just copy a foreign phone book. Here is a web site that you can use to copy down hundreds of Mexican pharmacy phone numbers http://www.seccionamarilla.com.mx/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Amarilla. I warn you not to call any of the numbers you find in this phone book. You will just be waisting your time and money the same as you would if you were to buy one of those site's products that claim to have hundreds of foreign pharmacy contacts.

I think that the worst perpetraters on the web are LMB also known as Drug Quest, BDZI, and a guy by the name of David Day.

LMB sales a book entitled How To Buy Almost Any Drug Without A Prescription for $29.95. You can get this same book from Barnes and Noble book store for $5.95. You can order it by calling their store at 1-(541) 858-0203. This book is about 10 years old and can be summed up in one sentence. To buy almost any drug without a prescription, (expept scheduled drugs) simply sign a statement declaring that you are under a physicians care and send it in with your order.

They also claim to have over a thousand Mexican pharmacy contacts and 450 Caribean contacts - what a joke. Even if they actually had this many reputable contacts, why would you want to do business with all of them when all you need is one pharmacy to establish a relationship with and continue to do business with for years to come. In other words, why would anyone go to a different pharmacy every time they needed a refill of prescription drugs. And then they suggest that these pharmacy contacts of theirs will only do business with people who buy their guides. Now why would anyone refuse your business simple because you were not referred to them by the right person. Preposterous, if this were the case, they wouldn't make very many sells and would soon be out of business.

Next there is the BDZI site. They have a news letter they sell for $10.95 a month. In it they tell you how to ship without getting busted and hook you up with your own Mexican doctor. This makes no since. Most drugs that require a prescription here don't in Mexico. If you do need a prescripion, you can bet that it is a scheduled drug which won't be legal to import through the mail even with a prescription. What a bunch of screw balls.

Then there is David Day. I know from personal experience that none of his almost 200 Mexican pharmacy contacts work. He now claims to be an agent of the first Mexican online pharmacy.

These guys never quit. Out of these three I would say that the biggest cons out there would be a toss up between LMB and BDZI. There are some legitimate sites selling this type of product out there you just need to know what to look for. Number one, are they being honest and telling you the truth about what can and can not be legally imported through the mail or are they lying by saying that it is legal to import drugs through the mail such as narcotic pain medication, sedatives, some diet drugs and anabolic steriods. And secondly, if you see a site advertising that they have hundreds of foreign pharmacy contacts, then it should be obvious that they are simply jotting down foreign pharmacy phone numbers and addresses from foreign phone books which they locate through the internet.

Cherri,

Can you comment on the "Y2K Prescription Medicine Survival Guide" as mentioned at the Dear Karen/Y2K for Women site? It is (apparently-- I have not seen it) a guide to obtaining Rx meds from outside the U.S. and supposedly explains legal ways of doing it. The Guide is by Michael McCormick. Would be interested in other comments/feedback.

Thanks.

I have ordered prescription drugs from overseas sources many times over the last 10 years. I have had some problems on a few occasions, but overall I haven't had any major complaints. They cost much less as compared to the US and you don't have to pay a doctor a rediculious fee for a prescription. A few sources are listed at: http://www.ceri.com/sources.htm.
