I was speaking with a friend who just returned from an overseas holiday and they told me about some medication that they brought back into the country.
While overseas some Midazolam 15mg tablets were purchased without a script. The friend used them for sleeping tablets while travelling but still had some remaining when it came time to return to Australia. Not wanting to break the law by smuggling the drugs into the country the friend ticked the box on the customs form saying ‘medication to declare’.
When presenting the form to immigration the conversation went something like this:
Officer: Why did you tick the box?
My Mate: Because I have some medication that I am unsure about.
Officer: Is it for personal use?
My Mate: Yes.
Officer: That’s fine then.
My friend then proceeded into the country with his medication.
To put this in context, my friend looked quite shifty on re-entering the country having not had a hair cut or shaved in some time. Surely someone looking this way in their mid twenties declaring drugs should arouse some interest, especially since my friend spent half of his trip in the golden triangle region of S.E Asia.
I thought that customs would have at least asked what the medication was at least or if he had a prescription. Is this just them being slack?
So if you want to bring a few keys of Heroin in to Australia, just tick the ‘I have drugs to declare’ box! As long as its for personal use then its ok!
