I almost landed in jail, because without the intervention of his partner, I would have gotten into a fight with a policeman. And it wasn't roid rage; it was just bloody frustration with this increasingly police state mentality.

When I started living in Russia in 1993, there was a real, capitalistic euphoria. Fast and loose. To me, those were the "good old days."

I live in Moscow, the capital of the former Soviet Union, who President Ronald Reagan (a wonderful man for whom I used to work and with whom I traveled) appropriately called an "Evil Empire" in 1982.

The screws are definitely tightening here. And there is still a longing for the "good old days" -- in a different (and much more negative) sense.

I guess eight years of relative freedom have become a novel and transient event. Not that this country will ever revert to a socialistic dictatorship again. Too many people are now making too much money. Maybe some form of mafia-government technocracy. I dunno.

The Russian postal system and postal customs are diabolical. It's very complex. I will spare you the details.

I know all the (few) serious sources here, because there is really only one main Russian steroid organization.

The sources I know have different levels of experience, contacts, etc. None in my estimation is a scammer. And if I knew of a scammer, I would certainly name him.

But to say whether or not getting gear from Russia via international mail is reliable, at this point I would regrettably say, NO! And that, in my opinion, applies to all sources operating here.

I've begun to seriously rethink my opinion about the Domestic vs. International issue.

As an individual client in the U.S. or Canada (and I consider Canada "domestic"), I would pay the extra money just for the reliability -- and to let the domestic source shoulder the risks.

Would I want to wait 3 - 5 weeks for a freaking package, only to learn that it never left the country? That is was returned to the originating post office or "lost" (shitcanned)? Hell no.

It's a pity, in my view, because in Russia steroids are not really controlled; they are medicine. And there is such a huge amount of good gear here it's hard to fathom. Seriously good gear and in mega quantities.

Locally, you can just go to a pharmacy and pick some of it up, or get a doctor's prescription if necessary (no problem), or go to one of the local sources. It's just easy. Trivially simple.

But when Russian postal customs scans such a large percentage of outgoing international parcels, it becomes a matter of "contents not in accordance with declaration."

And it is obviously not intelligent for a Russian source to declare nandrolone decanoate as the parcel's contents. That is an export issue which requires a license and registration; and whose contents in the receiving country are considered criminal and subject to seizure.

Just my two cents. To those who read last night's rant, my apologies. Geez. I guess this is another rant. Time for more Prozac and my continued vacation.
