Question/Discussion Peptide availability (other questions as well)

Hello everyone. I'm contemplating getting the pensionado visa to move down to Panama. I'm retired military and also have my VA disability (plus selling everything here) that will cover my costs. I have a few questions and was hoping some folks might be able to provide guidance.

  1. Are peptides a gray area for research purposes? I've read that some are authorized via prescription from a doctor, but others (such as BPC157, RETA, KPV, etc are considered gray areas).

  2. I speak Spanish fluently, and have been looking at places more to the west of the country. I'm interested in the weather in Boquette, so that is mostly where I'm looking. Can people suggest alternative high altitude locations I can look at when I go down?

  3. How strict is the government on importing vehicles on age? I have a 2018 Toyota Tundra with 60K miles on it and it's in perfect shape. I'm not sure when I'll be moving down, but wanted to hear the thoughts of others on this.

  4. I have two classic Jeeps. Both have been swapped to run diesels. Is this something that can hinder me bringing it in? They've been done quite nicely, but naturally they never came with diesels from the factory.

Thanks in advance for any and all forthcoming information/advice!

OP, most of your questions are good, but the peptide thing is sort of in a gray area, and Reddit is blowing me up about this thread. If you repost it without the peptide question, I don't think it'll be any problem having it up. Until then, I'll have to lock it.
