This might be best answered by /u/misteryouaresodumb but I thought I'd post the question because it might be useful for others who are curious.
Is it true that $150k worth of supplies have been lost and rejected? And there's $500k currently in limbo? And certain supplies like bottles could end up arriving in a year from purchase?
I'm wondering what sort of risk this poses for Nootropics Depot?
Are there any details regarding what has caused customs to clamp down so tightly? Is there a foreseen date of when things will loosen up or is this probably going to persist under the current administration?
I'm just curious about the details around this\\these issues.

I really do think I am fighting a disease of aging. Firstly, you can have symptomless diseases, like covid.
Secondly, I did cartilage damage at 30 that didn't prevent me from walking until I grew old enough for it to matter. At 38. It was a night and day difference, that I would not have had to ever deal with had my aging paused at 30.
Thirdly, I absolutely think of aging as a disease, as do the world health organization, and some PHD researchers. Not trying an appeal to authority, just stating what I've read.
As I said, I think it is learned helplessness that makes us view aging as natural and ok. We all age, so how can aging be a disease? Because is causes death and reduced ability of every kind, increased sickness.
That seems pretty darn diseased to me.
I hope to stop aging one day, and I am not the only one. If aging causes reduced ability of every kind, and death, that would strike me a disease and I suppose that is my primary but not only reason.
But of course, we are free to disagree, and that's ok.
By the way, love ND, I have made about dozens of buys there. Best company ever.

Sure, but everyone ages. Everyone starts having things give them problems as they get older. That doesn't mean the disease is aging itself. It just means diseases and disorders become more likely as you age. Some people age and don't have any issues. Some people are healthy as a horse till they day they die. If we define aging as a disease, those people are then diseased as well? The problem with your stance is that diseases are treated with drugs. That's the FDA's position on it. If it is a disease, you have to treat it with a drug. There are no other options. Supplements to help with aging? Nope, that's banned now. This is why defining aging as a disease is a bad thing. Also, a disease is a disorder of the structure or function of the human body. I would argue that a natural life process that every human being goes through can't be defined as a disorder. It's by its very definition the order of things. This is how our life cycle works. It's how everyone's life cycle works. How can that be defined as a disease?
Thanks for the support! I am glad you are happy with everything, and we certainly don't have to agree on everything. That's what makes life interesting!
