Actually at the San Clemente checkpoint bust they seized the Viagra because it was being smuggled in commercial quantities. Viagra isn't illegal, but smuggling goods (not declaring them) is. Also, it IS legal to bring back prescription drugs. From: http://www.customs.ustreas.gov/impoexpo/impoexpo.htm "A new bill was recently passed by Congress that amends
a portion of the Controlled Substances Act
(21USC956(a)). This amendment allows a United States
resident to import up to 50 dosage units of a controlled
medication without a valid prescription at an international
land border. These medications must be declared upon
arrival, be for your own personal use and in their original
container. However, travelers should be aware that drug
products which are not approved by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration may not be acceptable for such
importation. FDA warns that such drugs are often of
unknown quality and discourages buying drugs sold in
foreign countries. Please go to
http://www.fda.gov/ora/import/purchasing_medications.htm
for further information."
