why nobody here will just tell you 'yes its legal in [your country]'
every week: "is it legal in [country]??" and everyone goes vague and it looks like dodging. its not dodging. a stranger on a forum confidently telling you yes/no about your country's import law is exactly who you should NOT trust. "i dunno, check your own rules" is the responsible answer even when it feels useless
used to find that frustrating ngl but yeah id rather someone say idk than make something up and be wrong about my actual country
Right. And it isn't even one law you'd look up, it's the interaction of food import rules, anything on pharmacologically active substances, and how the product is described and marketed. That combination differs by country and shifts over time. Anyone giving a clean yes/no is oversimplifying or guessing. The honest steer: read your own jurisdiction's current official guidance, and if it actually matters, ask someone qualified there.
and "this might just not be worth it for your situation" is a fine outcome too. no shame in deciding the grey area isnt worth the hassle. beats chasing a yes off some random post
