Flaming/Flame Wars
Flaming is reacting to someone's board posting or PM in a hostile manner by publicly chastising the person or bombarding the person with nasty posts or PM's. Flaming may occur to users that engage in behavior that violates what is considered proper board netiquette. A flame war occurs when two or more users flame each other in an escalating manner that threatens to continue unabated. If you notice a flame war developing just notify the moderator or adminitrator and let them handle it. Do not take part in flame wars. If you do you will be banned even if you did not start it :-)

Forgive me, if this is a question that has been answered and asked elsewhere on the boards, but Im still slinking my way around learning the ins and outs of a board.
Can anyone tell me, if one purchases T's or the like in Canada and comes back home to the US via a drive through customs, what is the acceptable amount they will permit....Thanks in advance

Per federal law, you are legally allowed to bring 50 units of a controlled substance/per person if you are coming through a land border. But you have to know the laws of the country from which you are purchasing/exporting the med. And, here in the land of the free, we also have state laws taking precedent over federal.

For instance, you can legally bring back 50 T-3s from Mexico per US (BUT NOT TEXAS OR MEXICAN) laws. Mexico can put you in jail if you're caught without a Mexican script, and I imagine (but don't know) that Texas could do the same. So it's really a moot point for a Mexico/Texas buying trip.

I don't know about the Canadian laws and exportation policy. Since low-dose codeine meds are OTC there, I'd assume it's okay to export those. As long as your state allows the same policy as federal law, you're fine to bring in 50 pills per person.
