I do know that some American patients do go the Europe to use drugs that have not yet been cleared by the US FDA and whose use in the US would not be permitted even as no prosecutor worth his shoes would ever dare to waste his time prosecuting such a case.
I agree that it may be illegal on paper, but I wouldn't expect anyone to actually get arrested for small-time use.
