I think this is basically most non-merkin's criticism of their ways isn't it
freedom and democracy for all so long as you're a white merkin and do everything you're told, beyond that you're scum and may be shot.
That and their insistance on policing the planet to their rules and 'liberating' you whether you want it or not.
As an example Visa are currently having a hissy fit over their cards being used to purchase legal highs over here which are illegal where they're based in California, and refusing to allow their UK card users and our government to choose for themselves what we can spend our own money on, Paypal have done the same and Alertpay are being forced by the card companies to withdraw too, strangely I don't feel I need their 'guidance' on these matters when it's based purely on their own moral laws over there, I think I and my government should be able to make such decisions ourselves and I certainly don't think it's up to some big dollar obsessed posturing merkin company to make that decision for me, but there you go, that's typical, its wrong for them so it's wrong for all, or else.

My guess is that they could be prosecuted if they break U.S laws abroad.
Being a credit card they're actually the ones making the purchase not you.
I know here if a citizen breaks the law of the U.K even if it's abroad and legal in that country they could be prosecuted. So maybe there's something similar happening here.
On a side note, be careful with the ol' ethno botanicals mate. You sound like you are but you need to do your research on them before taking. Some are great, but you get others like Salvia then can really screw you up.
