Buying medications across the border in Mexico..?


Travel Info
I was researching something else and came across this article & wondered if anyone had an idea about it. Id love to go across the border and get some of my medications for cheaper but I am unsure of it... Because as this article states, it is LEGAL in the border control agents, but not texas state law. So, you still need to declare your meds & then hope a state trooper doesn't stop you afterwards... I guess that is my understanding of it?

Here is an excert from the article:

There is a major discrepancy between federal law and Texas state law that creates a major headache for anyone trying to understand drug regulations. Federal law, observed by U.S. customs agents at he border, allows prescriptions from foreign countries to enter the United States. But under Texas law, observed by police and state troopers, stricter guidelines make illegal to being prescriptions filled in Mexico into the state.
is it just texas it is illegal in OR new mexico-arizonia and other states?

Travel Tips
People go to Canada all the time to buy their medications to save money and they haven't stopped them yet. It's suppost to be illegal.

I'm sure your not bring a truck load in. A few prescriptions, just do it and be quiet.

Good Luck

I don't know the real rules . . but I go to Tijuana twice a month to purchase my dope. So far the border patrol guys havent said anything to me though . . knock on wood.

I think if you stick to small qty's you are okay. It is always those idiots w. u-haul trucks packed full of pot that get busted.

Good luck.
I'd just buy them and keep shut up about it. ;)
I was never asked when I went through the border through Nogales (Mexico/Arizona). I specifically went there while visiting family so I could get antibiotics. My in-laws (who live in AZ) buy a lot of their medications in Mexico.
