Jeez, one can only hope their analytical chem. department is 112% on point - getting 100 lashes and your passport stamped with "METH" because your blood contains Pseudoephedrine and Oxymetazoline metabolites...

Maybe in Saudi arabia,but things are a little more progressive in Dubai.I am in talks with other people who have travelled with strong medication.
Also,remember these are prescribed by a GP
Not a drug and alcohol services place,so I don't get the 'junkie' label

I took 500ml of jollop to Australia with a stop off in kwala lumpa (sp) had a photographed letter from my CDT and a letter confirming a appointment at a methadone clinic in Perth for 5 days time. Nobody blinked a eye lid.
Kept it in my hand luggage and thankfully didnt come across any busy custom officers.this was 15 years ago though.

You can take prescribed medication into Dubai with your prescription - if in doubt then contact the ministry of health . Wasn't it Grooverider that got locked up for a few joints? I have traveled both through and into Dubai airport more times than I can remember. If your caught with stuff like coke or grass etc the legal system is very strict and you can expect Jail.
Same as most countries, if your a local and not carrying then there is not much they can do - If your a tourist they can refuse entry (or subject you to further tests including cavity search etc).

I would imagine chemotherapeutics are treated very differently to narcotics.
...yeah it was groove rider - got off on an amnesty for ramadan. but be careful what ever they may say over here its a differnt story when you are over there and you still may be kept in even if only for a day or two - i have mates who have some horror stoeies who had letters and notes up to their eyeballs and still had mares

I think in the UAE, where there is no NHS (nor taxes to fund one), it's as much about them not liking competition for the local pharmaceutical industry as anything. Remember, it's perfectly socially acceptable for rich people to be addicted to drugs; it is only poor people who have drug problems.

I would imagine there's a little more to it than that.
While their views and punishments may be widely regarded as overwhelmingly backwards (to the extent that they could probably invert spacetime and open a wormhole) it's difficult to deny the effectiveness. Addiction per capita is very, very low compared to much of the developed world and an economic powerhouse such as the UAE is best off keeping it that way. A tourist bringing along prescribed medication with appropriate paperwork could be just that, but they could very easily be the mule of a coordinated trafficking operation - a bent pharmacist half the world away and a few scraps of clandestine counterfeit documentation could end up supplying a product unavailable domestically and drive up the number of addicts and the market demand for narcotics. Given their geographical location of within a very short distance of the epicenter of global poppy production and Heroin manufacture they are in a very precarious position.

Just came across this piece: That's interesting-
The Taliban had no religious nor idealogical objections to the cultivation of poppies. They demanded farmers halt production in response to a drought which had caused a shortage in food crops. The poppy cultivation prohibition was an attempt to gain diplomatic recognition from the UN for food aid, coz the people were starving.
Things didn't quite work out the way they hoped. The UN decided they needed to starve more. And the US decided we weren't too interested (at the time) that they were harboring Osama bin Laden.
====================
\\ After seizing Kabul in 1996 and taking control of much of the country, the Taliban regime encouraged local opium cultivation, offering government protection to the export trade and collecting much needed taxes on both the opium produced and the heroin manufactured from it. U.N. opium surveys showed that, during their first three years in power, the Taliban raised the country’s opium crop to 4,600 tons, or 75% percent of world production at that moment.
In July 2000, however, as a devastating drought entered its second year and mass starvation spread across Afghanistan, the Taliban government suddenly ordered a ban on all opium cultivation in an apparent appeal for international recognition and aid. A subsequent U.N. crop survey of 10,030 villages found that this prohibition had reduced the harvest by 94% to a mere 185 tons.
Three months later, the Taliban sent a delegation headed by its deputy foreign minister, Abdur Rahman Zahid, to U.N. headquarters in New York to barter a continuing drug prohibition for diplomatic recognition. That body instead imposed new sanctions on the regime for protecting Osama bin Laden. The U.S., on the other hand, actually rewarded the Taliban with $43 million in humanitarian aid, even as it seconded U.N. criticism over bin Laden. Announcing this aid in May 2001, Secretary of State Colin Powell praised “the ban on poppy cultivation, a decision by the Taliban that we welcome” and urged the regime to “act on a number of fundamental issues that separate us: their support for terrorism; their violation of internationally recognized human rights standards, especially their treatment of women and girls.”

Got a teenth of absolutely beautiful cream #3. You know, the stuff that maybe comes along once every couple of years. That stuff that when you smoke a few lines you are like FUCK-thats strong before drifting off to la-la-land only to wake up an hour later with a fresh fag burn in your jeans. Beautiful, pure-as-can-be stuff. Think in my using career I've maybe on only one occasion had gear that was slightly stronger than this. It really is amazing how the UK heroin market has seriously splintered since the drought. imo 95% of the market is dominated by low-end bash, and then you have the 5% thats absolutely golden, that goes for £7-8 per point. FWIW, would pay the premium every time, it's just not always available, unfortunately.
The best thing about having access to this pure stuff is that you can put 0.1g on the foil, smoke maybe 5 or 6 lines of it and be totally squared up, high even. The stuff available in Scotland, Glasgow specifically, is absolutely dire, and I have half-decent connections. I would doubt it at anything more than 10% pure, maybe the odd batch that is 15. The greedy wee cunts just stomp all over it. Thank god I am really good friends with a Pakistani lad who makes regular trips back home to visit family in Peshawar. Gotta laugh almost at people who say they have "habits" on the weak stuff, they are essentailly smoking paracetamol, mannitol and caffeine. Ive got more
a bizz from 4 nurpfen plus a 2 co-co 30/500s!!! The scene really is that bad up here and I have relatively good connections. I mean, if I had the desire I could get what is known as a "box" up here (a kg) for 20, but again, the standard even at that level is pretty poor. Of course not as bad as the street stff, but nowhere near this. Probably 20% pure max. What im trying to say is that if you are in Glasgow and using local stuff and think you have a habit, you are kidding yourself on. If thats the only H that you have ever smoked, then you haven't even experienced the buzz/euphoria that real herin provides. Gd night Bluelight.

The gear in Hackney is now pretty good from nearly all shotters- 35/40% just different sizes but i still get most of my gear from the asian crews who i met up with when the drought was on as theirs is 50%+ ansd they always have wikid white as well
The strange thing was that the drought over here at that time only lasted a few months and even then it wasn't that hard to find some peeps with decent. BUt the years leading up to it were the golden years - remember the grey gear it was really strong and soo cheap i was getting 1/4ers for 150 and shotters were doing grams for 30 and .6 for a score aahhh

Wasnt the drought more caused by massively increased airfreight security over various terror threats than anytning to do with actual supply?
...I think it was more to do with upping the price of the gear as it rose by at least a 1/3rd after 4-6 months of limited supply. Allthough the production was close to zero estimates vary widely as to what is stockpiled but i have read that there were/are 1000's of tonnes of opium and heroin squirelled away enough to supply the current need for 5 years or so - its like any other commodity - oil for example, if you controll the means of supply you set the price at a level the market will accept low or high depending on what your strategy is.
Here's a question for you ladies and gents:
I took 10mg of Subutex on 3am Thursday morning by late sunday will that have worn off or shall I wait until Monday to use to get the full effects? Maybe there's a way I can speed up the process of getting this shite outta my system?

The halflife of bupe is around 24-36 hrs, so by this morning you had roughly 5/6mg in your system, tomorrow morning it'll be 2/3mg and sunday around 1/2mg, i'd say you should be all good by sunday but for the full whack i'd wait till monday, but I know that's not always feasable, I wonder if taking something like codeine on sunday would help knock the bupe off your receptors so monday youd be able to get full effects
How are you using? IV? Smoke?

Half lives are dangerous to play with when it comes to those with large parameters.
It's an exponential process and as such if the 24h figure is used 1mg becomes 0.5mg on day 2 --> 0.25mg on day 3 --> 0.125mg --> 0.0625mg and so on.
36h figure = 1mg --> 0.75mg on day 2 --> 0.5mg on day 3 --> 0.33(r) --> 0.22(r)....
By day 5 you can have a four-fold variation in your circulating dose...
