When things like this get talked about outside of their focus spheres, that's when things start getting shut down because the agencies are publicly pressured to do something.
A lot of research went into this to emulate tech knowledge enough to make it convincing.
It was worth it though and obviously is just about to pay off as they arrest some 20 people for ordering 50 Modafinil tablets and give them 2 months probation and a $500 fine (or whatever the penalty is).
We all know it had to be done however because Modafinil is in the news near daily with the wrecked communities and terrible life destroying addiction leading to violent crime.
Very smart and tricky on their part.
Very low RoI. Agent should be fired.
From Wikipedia:
"Adrafinil is a prodrug; it is primarily metabolized in vivo to modafinil, resulting in very similar pharmacological effects. Unlike modafinil, however, it takes time for the metabolite to accumulate to active levels in the bloodstream."
You should monitor your kidney enzymes if using it long-term; I've never had any issues.
Plenty of places selling it for $20/30 300mg caps via Google Shopping search.
I don't think there are (m)any cases of people being busted for importing/simple possession, but if you were to get arrested for something else and had it on you, I wouldn't be surprised if you get additional charges.
Point being, this isn't a legal supplement you're ordering through the US Postal Service.
