Haha no. I get them muled over from India with a prescription or I’d go get them myself. Only suckers and rich people pay American rates.

I have so many antibiotics and controlled substances you’d be better off raiding me over your local Walgreens in a zombie apocalypse.

Seriously, sometimes I read about people dying of lack of access to insulin and it blows my mind. It’s one payday loan spent on the round trip flight and 30 hrs and you have cheap medication.

Even when folks here were whining that HCQ was going to be in “a shortage”, I just bought some Plaquenil from there. Folks really like building cages and then just die in them. Frankly confusing but hey it’s your life.

https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/5-tips-travel... The government's attitude appears to be against muling medicines over (I realize that people still do it all the time).

Self-prescribing antibiotics is not great for antibiotic resistance - Al Jazeera has done some great reporting on how Indian pharmacies loose prescription checks or doctors overambitious antibiotic prescriptions have caused a rise in antibiotic resistant superbugs (https://www.aljazeera.com/program/101-east/2016/8/9/the-rise...) - sure they're easy to get, but there's been a tremendous health cost in India because of that

But not only "suckers and rich people" pay American rates - the people who were born here without foreign ties do it all the time!

And finally, India just recently opened for tourism, plus they're not doing visa on arrivals yet, how can people get a payday loan, passport, visa via embassy, and a whole trip in so casually?

Edit: can't you just do everything you mentioned above in Mexico anyways?

Hey, I’ve done what I could. You can listen to your FDA and go contribute to GoFundMes when people die of diabetes. That’s one way to live life. I choose another way, but I’m not demanding you join me. You can always enjoy the fish mox.
