When I was looking into getting cheap Adderal online after losing my insurance, several of the sites I researched were exposed as selling fake meds

One clue should have been the fact that they were claiming to be selling Adderall. Adderall is a Schedule II drug. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adderall

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_Substances_Act#Sched...

These substances are only available by prescription, and distribution is carefully controlled and monitored by the DEA. [...]

Drugs in this schedule include:

  Cocaine
  Opium
  Methadone
  Morphine
  Amphetamine
  Methamphetamine

We are not talking about trying to import things - like cocaine, morphine, Adderall and any other Schedule II drug - that cannot be legally imported. We are talking about normal, legally-importable drugs such as Provigil.

Looks like you need a license to import Modafinil into Canada, and can't get it without a prescription. (Schedule F Part 1). Can anyone that knows how these laws work confirm that?

EDIT: Confirmed. See Section C.01.045 of http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/alt_formats/hpfb-dgpsa/pdf/legi...
