Then AFTER they arrest you and take you in to the cop shop, they will search your house. If they find that you seem to be "Joe Citizen" who doesn't even have any pipes or bongs in the house, no weed, no "crop" and the interrogation that you go through with one of the cops threatening you and your family shows that you really don't have any idea about it, and your telephone records don't show contact with known druggy numbers, then they will apologize and let you go back home.
That's how it happens in real life. The pigs are not your friend. They are not on the lookout for your happiness or welfare. They are in business to bust what they consider to be bad guys. Period.
If they pop a box full of weed for some reason, or like Hamster Lewis said, it your box is one of the THOUSANDS that get banged up or torn, they will open it to re-wrap the stuff in it. If that stuff is weed, you're at the mercy of the system at that point. They will put you under a microscope and look at you and your life. Like Hick said, prisons are full of people who claimed it "wasn't mine".
4u seemed to think for some reason that I am against sending things to people using the mail, UPS, FEDEX or whatever. I don't know how he invented that line of reasoning, as I never said anything even vaguely about being against it, but I'm really not.
Had a friend NOT sent my Pre98 Bubba Kush clones to me via the mail, I wouldn't have just harvested my most recent crop. I'm ALL for it!!!!
My entire point was to let the group know that, (contrary to what 4U had posted), it IS illegal to receive anything that is illegal and sent using any delivery system in the USA. If they prove it's yours, or the evidence will stand up in court that shows it must be yours, they will put your butt in a prison if you're caught.
I hope this point has been taken and will be considered by anyone thinking of doing so, and prompt them to do so wisely.
1. Make the box innocent looking, but BULLET PROOF. Wrap at least three complete times and put the return address and delivery address on each of the three layers EXACTLY THE SAME. If the top one is torn, they will compare it to the next layer and if it's the same, they will just tape it and keep in on route.
2. Vacuum pack the weed two or even four times with coffee in the second, third and forth layers of vacuum packing. Then put it into a box full of other stuff like plastic bottles of seasonings that are "specialty" items, not available everywhere. This will make anyone looking at it thing you're sending a friend some cool cooking stuff. Chances are, if they do open it, they won't see anything but the obvious and wrap it back up to continue on it's way to you.
3. USE A FAKE RETURN ADDRESS
4. Buy yourself a second level mail box. Nothing is ever delivered to your house that way. If they catch you, it won't matter much, as they WILL get a search warrant for your house anyway, but it makes me feel better to have the box. I feel like I have a little control on the situation.
5. Try not to use delivery systems too much. Each time you do it, the odds of you becoming a victim of the system increases.
