This is entirely shooting from my hip, based on research I've done on buying so-called "smart drugs" outside the US and bringing them in, but as I understand it, the FDA doesn't prohibit buying a three month supply of non-FDA-approved drugs outside the USA, and bringing them in for personal use. This does not apply to things like narcotics or hallucinogens, stuff on DEA Schedule I, not sure where the line is drawn. Based on my understanding of that law, I would extrapolate that it can't be illegal to buy approved drugs outside the US and bring them in for personal use. There may be a sales and use tax issue, but I can't comment on that. In Virginia, there is no sales tax on pharmaceuticals, so it would be completely legal for me to go to Canada, buy medication, and bring it into the USA ~ which, in fact, I did on my last vacation (a bottle of Advil and a bottle of Gaviscon). |
