How many pills is it "safe" to include in one order?

[Back2Good]

In all honesty LE could knock on your door for illegally ordering one Viagra.  However, the chances of that happening are slim to none.  I know someone who ordered 600 of a benzo sent USPS overnight and the letter never made it.  The tracking stopped after two scans.  The sender was arrested a week later for intent to distribute, amongst many other charges (obviously a domestic vendor). The person ordering never heard a word from LE about the 600 pills addressed to them.  Usually, once they catch the supplier they leave the end user alone (most of the time).  

I've also read of where customs has opened packages, obviously saw the medications, and just used the customs colored taped and sent them on their way (probably customs agents that didn't feel like dealing with the paperwork or were close to getting off their shift, or just didn't care).  I won't say my largest order, but it was way more than a 90 day supply (like Charon pointed out that is a myth; it's illegal to import any amount of medications without proper paperwork).  It's more about what you feel comfortable ordering.  Hypothetically, I may feel safe ordering 1000 at a time and jimbob 100.  It just depends on how risk adverse you are, if you want to order larger amounts to order less, or if you prefer to order smaller amounts, but more often.  Personally, I fall in the middle.  My main vendor sends in 3-4 sizes.  I usually use the middle size.  cost is also a factor.  If I order the smallest amount I pay (random numbers) 60 cents a piece.  The next size up its 47 cents, then the next size it's 35 and the largest amount is 20 cents.  

Also, keep in mind that schedule 1 orders if found will have a higher chance of LE being involved.  I believe the same is true with schedule 2's.  If you order 300 schedule 2's and they get confiscated you may get more than an LL, as opposed to getting 300 schedule 4 or non-schedule meds will probably result in just an LE.  I could be wrong on this, but it's my thoughts on the topic from being involved in the world of IOP's for 5-6 years.

Bighead - Your anecdotal evidence fits in with mine...In short it is very rare for an end user to be targeted unless it is a result of bad luck, combining IOP use with other illegal (and ill-advised ) activities, or if LE has reasonable cause to believe that you know the vendor personally, and decide to lean on you as hard as possible to locate the real target of their investigation.

To borrow a phrase from our current president, "Don't do stupid s***."

Oh - And the first LL I ever received lo these many years ago was for 20 tabs of 100mg Viagra.  I still laugh about that one.

Best to you,
