News laws in Mexico on cash and medications

I have been reading some Cruise Critic threads on Cozumel that merchants
there will no longer take US dollars because of a new law that went into
effect to combat the drug cartels. They will only take pesos for cash
transactions.

Also some medications that were over the counter will require
prescriptions. That may affect cruise passengers and tourist that have
been buying meds there to save money.

What a joke those threads are and what a humongous joke this entire
"$$$ refusal" is. Wachovia, Wells Fargo and several other banks have
already admitted to laundering billions of illicit dollars.

You really need to get out from under this cruise rock you are living
and reinsert yourself into real life on Terra Firma, Chuck.

In the FDA's view, buying drugs in Mexico is a safety issue.

Before you decide to shop at farmacias, know the law and weigh the
risks.

I advise for U.S. citizens not to buy a controlled substance in
Mexico. But if you do, make sure you have a Mexican prescription for
everything to adhere to Mexican laws. To reduce the risk of problems
when reentering the U.S., have a U.S. prescription too for controlled
substances. Yes, two subscriptions and two doctor visits.

One in five drugs is counterfeit or substandard, there are no good
ways to buy a product in Mexico and be sure it is not counterfeit.

I use Colgate and it is made in Mexico. At least it is not made in
China. They sell toothpaste made in China at the Dollar Store. I would
avoid that.
