Just out curiosity, a friend may be travelling to the Philippines and was wondering if they were legal there. Or Japan?

Also, if they wanted to mail themselves a birthday present from there what do you think would be the most secure way?

Legal to possess, but not sell in Japan. Treated like any other medicine.
No idea about shipping - wouldn't want to try it. I'm a pussy.

hawkmoon,

they are prescription only these days? I was stationed in okinawa, wow like 10 years ago and i remember walking into pharmacies and picking up primo tabs and i want to say sustanon . Not every pharmacy carried them like that but once you found one that had it in stock, they were only too happy to sell it to you. I guess in a decade a lot can change

I was in Okinawa from 03-06 and I looked but didnt see anything in the pharms. Maybe I didnt look hard enough.

I can't confirm that. Note that Okinawa is a special place - it's not really Japan in a lot of ways. One might still be able to do that down there.
All I know is my doc was not comfortable in prescribing me TRT because he honestly didn't understand it. He told me to go ahead and get my own supply and come to him for tests when I need them. Pretty cool. AAS aren't the devil's tonic in Japan like the US.

So are you saying they are illegal in the PI? They aren't sold in pharmacies?

Hawkmoon, you live in Asia don't you? What do the Asian chicks think about Western bodybuilders. We all know it adds to the poonage count here in the US, but I just wondered what the Asian chicks thought of it.

Available in Philippines

Just go to any Mercury Drug in the Philippines and you can buy it and most medicines, such as your PCT items. Only controlled drugs are the benzodiazepams, and you usually can get those too if you pay an "expedite" fee. Being a hit with the ladies in the PI is more dependent on pesos than looks or muscles. That is why you see so many young beauties with elderly dudes.

hawkmoon · Mar 28, 2009

Bodybuilders are one in a million here, so I get a lot of attention, all favorable. There a lot of entertainers in my gym so I get to play a little with hot girls. Being married however limits me to a smile and a few words.

I have been to PI a few times but I am married to a filipino. My wife is 38 and I am 39. I have seen some old farts with young filipino chicks and I think its pretty disgusting. It's like going shopping with your daughter lol....

Easy to get gears in PI !

myosin · Mar 29, 2009

Thanks

OK, I'll check it out, thanks guys. BigChef, I too am married to a Filipina and been there several times but never checked the pharmacy's in the PI. I'll give it a go.

myosin · Mar 29, 2009

I'm a dummy sometimes.

Very little available in PI pharmacies.

Andriol and Proviron, Arimidex, Letro, Aroma are available in the pharms at very high prices more than most websites charge.

Black market stuff is nearly all imported from Thailand and sold at around 4x the price u would pay there.

Funny timing.
At the gym tonight a smoking hot girl comes up and asks me if I "am a professional" and basically comments how good I look. She tells me how she wants to put on a little muscle. I blurt out, "nah, you look fantastic as you are".
This does not happen in Japan. Lots of good smiles exchanged.

Tomorrow I go on vacation with my wife who hates me. The timing is insane.

Damn...must not think bad thoughts...

Out of curiosity, if it's TMI I understand, what do you do (vaguely) in Japan as a white guy? I ask because my "world" in the states is about half-asian and half-white due to my being married to a Filipina. So, I know what it's like to go to an Asian country and the looks, stares, taboo's, etc. that you mean.

While the PI has their particular taboo's, etc., it is a VERY laid back culture, so Japan especially must be very interesting- there is a lot of stigma's, taboo's, "shame-based" motivation, etc. in that culture.
