There is a book called: Marijuana Law, by Richard Glen Boire, that covers mailing marijuana in detail.
I attempted to find the exact wording in the USPS regulations, but there are hundreds of pages and references that I'm just not going to search through.
I know it's illegal to recieve marijuana using the mail, and it's illegal to order it to be sent using the mail. Anyone who disagrees can call their local Post office and ask if they like.
Here's a few examples of people being arrested for it. Most cases like this involve LARGE amounts, but the law doesn't mention any amounts. Just marijuana. It could also be 10 grams.
It's true, that they probably wouldn't bother with prosecuting someone for a couple of plants or an ounce of weed, but it gives them allowence to search your house and use whatever they find against you. For us with grows, that would be very, very bad.
This argument has gone beyond stupid. I'm out of it.
4U, think what you please man. I couldn't care less.

Authorities arrested Albuindaa Wadea Hall, 34, and Equanda Schenita Chambers, 30, Monday after the United States Postal Inspection Service contacted the Dothan Police Department.
The USPS said the police department should be on the lookout for a package en route from Texas that was carrying marijuana.
The weed ended it's journey through the postal system at an address on East Selma Street and officers set up surveillance on the residence.
A short time after the postman was gone, a Ford Explorer driven by Hall arrived and picked up the package. Narcotics officers pulled the vehicle over a short time later.
Both suspects were charged with Trafficking in Marijuana and are being held on $60,000 bond each.
The suspects will be transferred to the Houston County Jail later Tuesday.

WILLMAR Two Willmar women made their first court appearances Friday on drug charges for allegedly receiving more than 10 pounds of marijuana in the mail.
Ana Patricia Gutierrez, 27, and Vanessa Marie Garza, 19, both face fifth-degree drug sale and possession charges. Unconditional bail was set at $20,000 for each. Conditional was allowed for $10,000. Both make their next appearance on Oct. 5.
According to the complaint, a CEE-VI Drug Task Force agent received information Wednesday from a U.S. Postal Service inspector that two suspicious packages, addressed to two Willmar residences, were suspected of containing slightly more than 10 pounds of marijuana.
The postal inspector delivered the first package to a home where Gutierrez signed for one and put it into a vehicle in the driveway. Later, she and Garza drove and were stopped by the Willmar police. A search of Gutierrezs purse revealed receipts for money orders for $450 and $700 and a slip of paper containing the Express Mail tracking numbers for the packages. The second package was also delivered to another address.
Search warrants were served on both homes. At the second address, a woman said that Garza had called about receiving the package, which was located in a bedroom. At the first address, officers located another money order receipt for $250.
Both women were arrested and taken to the Law Enforcement Center. Garza allegedly admitted she knew the package of marijuana was sent to her and that Gutierrez was also receiving a package. She also allegedly admitted to sending the money orders and knowing they were payments for the pot.
