Having issues gathering vyvance, which is slightly working for me. A friend suggested that she has friends who can help get some from Brazil, where the DEA isn't down everyone's throat. Just curious about people's experiences

I would suggest a lot of caution before taking an approach like that since shipping controlled substances through the mail is, IIRC, illegal. At the very least you'd need to pick it up directly from a port of entry or arrange a courier, it's probably illegal to import anyways, and there are serious quality/purity concerns.

That's all assuming it was an official dispenser in Brazil, if this is just someone's buddy you're almost certainly going to be an accessory to smuggling an illicit substance.

So uh... ignore Lemmy and speak with a lawyer first.

Agreed, importation of a controlled substance is highly illegal and can slap you with an easy felony depending on your area and amount. Glad to hear Vyvanse is working for you but it’s not worth the risk. Lots of fraudulent substances out there too if you can’t be sure how the drug was regulated. You’re better off calling around to local pharmacies to find some in stock.
