Seems the Swiss authorities have peptide imports squarely in their sights. Could be an early sign of what's coming, certainly here in Europe.

I'd expect workarounds to appear regardless — unless every neighbouring Schengen state outlaws peptides at the same time.

And even with a ban in place?

Narcotics are banned as well, and look how that goes. Where there's money in it, our vendors will work something out.

Some of the forecasts put the grey market above half a billion for this year alone. And even those figures leave out a chunk of the crypto flows.

Pharma would love nothing more than to put us in chains.

23 held back, then sent on their way with a note saying “This isn't good for your health”

Efficiency, huh! Those poor Swiss customs officers: they must be at a total loss.

Look at the cynicism and the bad faith: we have no real idea what's in your bottles; if it is what we suspect, nobody has studied it, yet you can be certain it will do you a great deal of harm (despite us knowing nothing at all).

Say the grey market did hit a billion — that is still under 0.5% of the whole market. Lilly clears enough margin to fund a fresh factory each quarter. They only need to build more and cut their prices. What we're up against is a monopoly run by people who'd have us in indentured servitude just to stay alive.
