I looked for a thread on this question, but didn't find one. Of course, I am referring to the medication prescribed by Ecuadorian doctors on special government authorized blue pads to poor sleepers among others.

sorry about the extra "from" in the title. I was up against the 70 character limit.

I guess not, although they recommend that you have your prescription with you.

Clonazepam. While I will have a doctor's note with me to aid me in obtaining a subscription in Colombia, I thought I would bring on the flight 15 2mg tablets which would last me 30 nights.

I read an article in 2022 about the drug scene in Medell铆n where my medicine was mentioned. It probably increases my chances of dementia some day, but so does lack of sleep I have read

Twenty-four hours a day, vendors call out the names of their wares: "blones" (marijuana joints), "rocks" (cocaine), ecstasy or "wheels" as they call Clonazepam pills, a psychiatric medicine with sedative effects.
