Sending street purchased ED meds by mail domestically - legal or illegal?

[Sandboxer]

As the title says, would sending myself a larger package/supply of various ED pills (the usual, Kamagra, Cialis etc) purchased from street vendors in, say, Pattaya, by Thai Post/EMS ) which always requires identification) to another part of the country be ok, or could it possible pose a legal exposure?

 

I ask because I assume that most of the street vendor products are "counterfeit" and as such perhaps not items that are allowed to be posted, especially being pharmaceutical products? - or am I wrong about this?

 

Never really understood the supply chain for these street products. They work fine for me but never figured out if they're "totally fake" or "partially fake: i.e. only the boxes they come in are fake  etc. or maybe even totally legit and just that much cheaper due to vendors not having so much overhead costs.... 

 

I'm not worried about their safety, pretty much all guys I've ever met here who use them get them off street vendors due to the large price diff between street and pharmacy, and I've never heard of anyone having bad side effects if used properly.....just don't want to risk unnecessary probs with the law. Who knows, maybe it's even illegal to mail/post ANY pharma product, be it official or not? Kinda like ordering a fake Buriram United shirt online, but that's a textile product....

 

Any enlightenment appreciated.

Sidegra (Viagra) 4x100mg costs 200 Baht in a good pharmacy. What is the price of the "street" product?

I don't think the Kamagra is Fake, I think copying all that would cost more than the real thing, as I've seen it in the boxes complete with the  "safety leaflet" inside. 

It's made in India plenty of cross boarder trade, on the other hand I have had complete fake Viagra from Cambodia, you could bend it, like chewing gum. Kamagra In India its less than 80b for 4 100mg tabs.

A friend sells them for GBP 30 back in the UK.

Hmmm thats a hard one (or maybe not)      The absence of  reports  of contraindications from others  makes you confident enough to shovel them down your neck without concern,  have you heard of any instances of problems posting them ?   Anyway if you did get caught the sentence probably won't be too stiff

[Bday Prang]

There's a new one available called viagra "lite "  not that effective in the bedroom but you will look pretty impressive in a pair of speedos

[Bday Prang]

I don't think it would be "too hard " if you just put them in your pocket

There's also Cialis in eye-drop format for those who just want to look hard.

The purchase was illegal to begin with since (1) by law requires a prescription and (2) the vendor was nto a licensed pharmacy.

 

Mailing it to yourself per se is not illegal but if the contents got any scrutiny the above 2 factors might cause a problem.

[Bday Prang]

my grandfather recently confessed to the family that he regularly used viagra,  we were all shocked.....but nobody took it harder than grandma

[stoner]

i suggest you also send one of your best pair of pink undies too.

You are missing something. The first question should be, "Is it legal" to accept a package with dick pills in the first place? I would assume if one needs a prescription in the country of arrival, that it would not be legal. 

[impulse]

My brain leaks when I sleep, but I recall several years ago, I had to open a package I was mailing at Thai Post to show them the contents before they would accept the package.

 

Again foggy in my memory, but it may have been during a time when Thailand was in a heightened security mode, like after the temple bombing.

 

Anyone have a more recent experience at Thai Post?

And what if they scan the package with one of those GT-200 detection devices ?

 

I heard every post office has one

in fact if the op took his viagra in combination  with some iron supplement he could perform a similar function, He might even be able to hire himself out to the military, they fell for it once before,

Well 20 years ago my mother sent me £40 on my birthday,   The card arrived but the envelope had obviously been opened, needless to say the money was gone.  does that count.   

Who said the GT-200 was a fake eh ?      oh it was me

Discussing what's illegal on a Thai-centric forum in Thailand.

 

Is it 1 April already?

Depending on the day, what post office, the clerk that's serving you, one MAY be asked to either show or declare what's in anything you are mailing. We are dealing with a state-run entity run by jobsworths.

Post it in your name, but to your neighbors address.  Problems solved.

Or the beginning of the problems. Knew a Brit once who posted steroids from the Pattaya PO back to his buddies in the UK. Busted, jailed, deported. Not seen in Thailand since, AFAIK.

Was the purchase illegal or was it the sale that was illegal?  I don't think it is illegal to buy those products, it's certainly not illegal to post them within Thailand.  If I bought some of them from Sandboxer would I be committing an offence?

To my understanding both sale and purchase/possession without a script is illegal. Though in practice it seems to mainly be the customer who sometimes face consequences.

 

No idea what "Sandboxer" is.

Sandboxer is the OP.

 

It seem that you're saying that the illegal street sellers (that the OP is buying from) don't face consequences while the buyers do.  That doesn't make a lot of sense to me, do you have any examples such incidents?  I don't believe that buying from street vendors (some/a lot/most of which is dodgy) is likely to get the buyer prosecuted.

There have been cases (some  few years back, a number of them) where police set up "sting" operations near street vendors and also pharmacies selling without script. This was in Bangkok, Nana area IIRC.

 

It is easy enough to get a script and just keep it in your wallet.
