Oso "Friendly Pharmacies"
My experience with pharms in TJ is that it's best to get the Dr.'s prescription (most pharms will recommend a local Dr. or two). My Dr. charges $30 for the script. She keeps a copy, one goes to the pharmacy, and a third is for you in case LE checks, you've obtained them legally (though they'll still probably try to shake you down). I asked US customs and they told me that anything that was prescribed down there and was a legal script up here could be brought across. Think about if. If you're having dental or some other work done down there our guys can't very well deny you the medications that the Dr. prescribed for your health (though they limit the quantities that you can bring back - I think it's a 3 month supply).
Problem with using "Friendly Pharmacies" are that they charge the $30 premium that you would be paying to the Dr. (so you may eve be paying more). Then you're walking around south of the border with illegal drugs and then you're probably bringing them back illegally. Plus it generally takes less time and effort to go the legit route than to find "Friendly Pharmacies".
I hope this helps.
My 2.5 Cents for first trip to NL..
[QUOTE=LexLuther]Lex is going to be in San Antonio from 13 through 24 Feb. He'd like to visit Mexico but is a bit nervous about going alone due to the danger. Anyone on this board interested in helping out a first time visitor?
Lex[/QUOTE]Well, I would suggest that you make sure that you go with someone. I would personally not mind going at all, and know like 2 girls from BT's that would leave in a heart beat if we paid the bar fee of 50 bucks. Outside of maybe some drinks, you could have them all night for no cost.
I hope that the next time you are down, I am available, I will be more then glad to acompany you on a trip to BT's, always fun.
Good luck, and I repeat, dont go alone. If you decide to go alone, then I would suggest skip BT's this trip around and just hit the local bars that are right accross the border. You could throw a rock from there and hit the river, not litterally, but point is that it is safer then going to BT's.
And there may be some guys on here that will say it is not dangerous.. blah blah blah, lived here for 100years.. I ussually keep my mouth shut, and do not say much. But trust me when I say it is not safe, stay close to the border when in mexico, there are plenty of good looking ladies there that are aiming to please, and they ussually charge less also.
Ciao,

One man's loss another man's gain...
Business has obviously gone down in La Zona. I visited Saturday February 11th and it was dead. All my amigas complain about the business. I hear many have gone to Del Rio/Acun~a, where there is more business and the girls can charge more. As for me, I'm getting bargains (although I doubt the quality of girls one can get with drinks only, as posted earlier). I made a deal with a good quality girl from Papagayos for $300 for an entire weekend. She waits for me Friday night at the house I rent and stays until around noon then returns around 9pm Saturday night to stay until noon on Sunday (unlimited sex throughout). She even helps me clean up the place (washing dishes, throwing out trash) before I leave. I don't think I could have gotten this deal if business was good.
Meanwhile, about mid-way on the back street (across from Danash) I have a favorite door-girl named Andrea. She's short, sexy and gives a good bang for $20. She's from Veracruz and very hot.
As for Danash and architecture, I hear the reason so much money is spent there is because it's owned by the drug cartel. For this same reason, the girls there get to skip the medical checkups (the Dr's don't want to mess with the drug dealers). So, definitely use protection if you plan to go to the room with those over-priced chicas (I personally boycott Danash due to their pricing structure). Take care and be safe.
