>> I must take direct exception to this statement. If it were legal to import, through mail or otherwise, controlled substances for personal use, in small amounts then our Customs would NOT confiscate our shipments from IOPs and send the dreaded letter.
It is a HUGE assumption that law enforcement & customs always acts lawfully. It is a gray area, because there is the obvious exception of bring combo codeine products physically across the border from Canada or even off a plane from UK. Take a law class - even Business Law at your local community college - and you will develop a whole new perspective on the law and how it is enforced. Believe me, as Jack McCoy (Sam Waterson) once said on 'Law&Order", "Lawyers, always trying to fit infinite shades of gray into black and white."
