Not if you are prescribed obv. fwiw I've flown around a bunch all over world and U.S. with about 10-15 pills ( not prescribed) just mixed in with tylenol or advil etc. As long as you don't have mass amounts you should be fine. Also, they don't have adderall in Mexico, but they do have ritalin if you are interested in that.

I dont see how you are paying so much. I stayed in a 2 story condo 2 blocks from 5th and walmart and ran the A/C like 2-3 hours a day and only paid 1400 pesos for the 2 months. Also had fans on 24/7, computerand TV on a lot. We also cooked a lot too.

Two dives next weekend. Tortuga and a second dive site, both are in the area of 50-60 feet. Gave the dive masters the weekend block so sat-sunday early both work for anyone interested in joining. you can get me at jstock224@hotmail.com

Also, I know most of the information on playa skimps on the dating/night life so I'll give you the quick rundown. Clubs are open late; some till 8am. Beach clubs like Mamitas and Indigo are the best places to meet people during the day. Plus, you can't beat $18 massages. Check with your hotel/apt complex when booking, you may be entitled to free access to a beach club or two depending on where you stay.

8 out of 10 women you see down here are drop dead and eager. they have no shame or fear in their approach. if you're single and split between playa and someplace like costa rica, playa is the clear choice.

So when I'm here I have no access to my account there what so ever. I tried to wire money from my Rosarito account to here,but you have to be in person :/.
is this true for all Mexican banks? seems crazy

I'm looking to move here in the next couple weeks. I've started emailing realtors and have found a couple condos by the beach and center for reasonable prices. If anyone is interested in getting a house send me a message. I'm wanting to do month-month rent and go from there so 1 month to start. Or if anyone already has a place and needs a roomate let me know as well. Thx guys hope to see yall down there soon!

problem with house rental is you have to live in playacar which is just farther from everything you want to be near

I am interested in ritalin, but I haven't had any luck with pharmacies yet. Do you have any info on how I could go about getting it? Thank you in advance for any advice.

Thinking about moving to Playa this summer after the series. For those who've lived there how easy is the banking? ie setting up an account and receiving five figure wires from pokersites? Is it easy to transfer from a Mexican account to a US one? Any advice would be appreciated.

Easy. If you go to Bancomer, they have an English speaker who will set up your account for you, as well as show you how to use the online banking (which is all in spanish, but there is even an English guide on their website that walks you through all the bells and whistles in the online banking) and tell you everything you need to know about wires and deposits, etc. Bank wires in and out are not a problem.

Also it's paradise.
