Before you get too hysterical a look at some facts would be in order. Firstly - some peptides can be bought over the counter and are no more controversial than protein supplements. The peptides which release growth hormones however are a different story and are banned by sporting bodies. Also just because they are banned by WADA or other sporting agencies does not make them “illegal”. A doctor being interviewed on ABC Radio yesterday spoke of prescribing them out to patients so presumably they are available for medical use. Again - wait until the facts are out before making assumptions.

No news here. Pretty sure most people know obtaining GHRP-6 is easy enough with the interwebs.

How do you package 5mg of anything? I mean you can barely see 5 mg unless it’s diluted by ,say, a thousand fold of something that will bring it up to 5g of injectable material.

Don’t know why this is a surprise. Peptides (without the quotes) are readily available across the globe. The customs regularly check bioactives, even for transmission to bona fide end users. I was in the peptide manufacturing business some years ago.

If you want 100% inspection of incoming goods, Andrew, its going to cost a lot, and cause a lot of delays for legitimate imports. Just to stop some people who only want to harm themselves slightly. Is it worth the cost?

This is a bit Today Tonight though isn’t it? You can buy all sorts of sh*t online… Customs may or may not seize it.
