steroids, buying online: any legal risks in the US?

slash_473 · 21-06-2004, 09:48 PM

hey everyone, i live in the great US of A, i never ordered any gear through the internet but want to. anyone that lives in the US that has ordered gear, have you ever had any problems with customs, both legal and loss of items? i just to make sure i know what im getting into, most sites say that less than 5% are siezed and there is no legal problems if you are only ordering a 90 day supply is this true? if it is not how do i protect myself from customs?

Anabolic steroids are illegal as far as I know in the US,they have been since the 80's,and there is no way u can import 3 months worth for personal use "legally".Sorry to disapoint you but you have read misinformation.I don't know the protocol over there but I reckon it'd be a felony crime if caught.Don't wanna scare you plenty of peeps out there who do import gear to the US a good friend of mine who shall remain nameless actually imports to the UK from the US on certain items, but you gotta be aware of the dangers.My fav phrase is BE CAREFUL

so it is illegal...damn any guys out there in the US who have ordered gear online? if so, how'd it go? nord, how can one be careful? if i do plan to order should i get a secure email thats encrypted and a PO box? what do you recomend? i've read from some site saying that you can import a personal supply for 90 days or something and that most things that are seized stays just at that, siezed but no prosecution...is this true? if i could get some input from some other US bodbuilders that would be great, thanks

Site is wrong it's not legal to import to the US any quantity of anabolic steroids,you can quote me on that.Encrypted e-mail would be a good idea,and I have explained about PO box in another post to u bro,I speak from a UK standpoint but a lot of thingz can be applied the world over,just use your common sense.

Hi Slash,

Bump to Norditropin - AAS are illegal in the USA - schedule III I believe (could be wrong though!) and therefore classed as a felony and not a misdemeanour.

I don't know about the personal amounts etc, but as posession would be classed as a felony that usually means jail time?

I would be very wary of locating illegal substances through the internet - if you and I can see it so can Big Brother (not the dumb ass 'reality' show!!!).

hey Slash-Im in the US and Ive purposely stayed away from Internet orders for two reasons--the first is that I always try to minimize the risks of being scammed and even though the website may look authentic-it could be just a scammer trying to rip you off. what are you gonna do if they dont send your order after youve paid for it??-call the cops or the Better Business Bureau??And second- in the event it is a reputable website, they are more apt to be monitored as a website by the US authorities since they are advertising products illegal for import into the US.If youre intent on ordering from a site, then start out really small and really innocuous-order some clomid/clenbuteral/proviron because if it is snagged, you havent lost too much money and the contents arent ALL that heinous from a law enforcement point of view.If it gets thru, try something bigger the next time.Always keep your order under what would be a three month supply, also.
Honestly, slash, Ive always done much better personally by doing my homework and meeting the right people and ordering off site...good luck
