You can't make up good material like this. "... prolonged erections, which could impair an air marshal’s ability to function while on duty ."

Is the stuff even regulated abroad? Do you need a prescription for it?

 

[DPR]

Good for them, hope they had fun with them too. I always thought that the viagra TV ad with the warning “consult a physician if your erection lasts more than two hours” was the best marketing scheme ever.

Where?

Probably barely, the worst "crime" is that its probably purchased far cheaper (wherever) than it is in the US.

This is no different than the region encoding bullshit with DVDs. Like the drug ConHugeCos know that the average smoe in say, Brazil, can't afford to pay $5 a pill or whatever the f*** it costs. So they sell it there for 50 cents. Since its not a narcotic, the dogs aint sniffing for it and the criminal penalties, at least facially, aren't the same.

So their crime is they are guilty of violating drug protection rackets, more or less. Although tons of old people do the same thing taking tour buses into Canada and Mexico to load up on cheap scripts, but they do it all legally under whatever the maximums/rules are within the law. The FAMs doing this stuff probably dont even have scripts for it.

Exactly.

Big difference between US Marshals and Air Marshals. Not even in the same area code...

Serious abuse of position. I hope they at least get their d*cks slapped.

Talk to an ER doc who's had to deal with it when someone comes in with the never ending erection.

Pretty sure blood clots or something, either way, it's not something I'd want to go through.

The V Bombs from Canada blow away the ones you get from a script here in the US. A guy I know has been getting them imported for literally over 15 years now and pretty much every dude I know uses them here and there. I been taking them recreationally for years and they are legit. My Dr says if they work for you without any negative side effects then have fun with them.

One takes care of snakes on a plane. One shoots RDJr because he's a criminal and federal agent.

Any one-armed men involved in this? (Or was it one-leg??? It was on last weekend and I didn't bother to watch. Too period-specific for me in a time I was having a tough time.)

That might scare me straight

There are some countries where the patent on V has expired, because those countries count from the day the medicine is first patented, rather than the day it was first approved for a particular use, as the US does. V was originally a blood pressure medication, but the patent on using it for ED came some years later, so the patent has longer to run in the US.

There was a push to make it OTC in the US some years ago but there are a couple of medical conditions that are contraindications.
