So about receiving personal use quantities of weed in the mail(USA)...

I'm a newb, been spending the past couple weeks just reading every possible thing I can, on this sub as well as other sites. Still very much on the fence about whether or not I am ever actually going to order anything. I am looking for reassurance, yes, but I am also genuinely curious. I noticed r/darknetmarketnoobs seems to be more full of people asking technical advice, so I thought maybe I should just ask here.

I just want to be able to order enough weed to smoke by myself. I'm sure this a pretty common goal. I'm not greedy(for money), don't even plan on hooking my friends up if/when I have it. According to this article in 2012 USPS seized 7,600 parcels containing 42,000 pounds, which means the average parcel seized contained 5.5 lbs.

Now obviously it's silly to ask something like "How likely are the cops to bust down my door if I get caught receiving an ounce." But I think a more concrete question that would probably be of interest to a lot of people, is what is the smallest amount that anyone is aware of anyone being arrested/searched for? Are there any KNOWN instances of someone being prosecuted for less than say a qp, regardless of locale? What about less than a half oz? Even word of mouth stories would be of some interest here.

Dude, just do it and don't worry about it.

You'll be fine. Just go with a reputable vendor. I use modernlove on agora for personal amounts.

Stick with a good vendor. CannaXpress000, GrowerLove, Modernlove. one ounce and under should be next to no worry man. Esp. if ur not in a full prohibition state

The only instance that comes to mind is the poor guy who at vendor's fault accidentally, yet successfully, received 4lbs. He was only caught after trying to question the situation, and the vendor turning into a pure fire asshole calling the guy's local PD to rat him out.

It all comes down to a vendor's stealth to whether or not I'm getting my package. An ounce of weed quadruple vacuum sealed with 8 layers of mylar and 6 visual barriers doesn't do much if for shits and grins the vendor decides to write "WEED INSIDE" on the front of the package. Ordering a gram or an ounce is the same risk.

That being said, personal quantities from reputable vendors really aren't anything to sweat. I've had nothing but successful and smooth transactions. It sounds like you're doing your research, which is key. Best of luck buddy.

The smallest amount I'm personally aware of (domestic USPS shipping ONLY) was around a pound that was seized because the smell leaked, this was 3 years ago when my friend worked at USPS. If your vendor vacuum-seals/MBB you should be totally fine. I order ounces every now and then, never even came close to getting caught

Meh.

If you care, get a secure drop that isn't attached to your name or address. Most people have been fine.

That said, fucking terrible mistakes like your package being opened by mail equipment do happen, so this isn't like ordering from Amazon.

Also keep in mind if you give your vendor your real name and address, and you don't get it, they can always use that to Doxx you...


[2 Points] nsgiad:

Make sure you choose a vendor that has great stealth and you'll be fine. This is the one product you want to make sure no smells are leaking out!

I too was on the fence for awhile about ordering. Then I took the plunge, and jackpot! Check out my review for some vendors to order from, and feel free to PM me :)

Unfortunatly I cant answer that, don't even know where to begin to guess. I can say you seem to have done your homework and arent an idiot like a majority of those I see here. I've ordered an ounce ~30times within my DNM days(going back to sr1), and maybe 95% of the time It came without hiccups. Make sure you do your homework (like u seem to be doing, reddit, forums, blah blah for real user reviews) and pull the trigger.

Op here. thanks for the responses but I decided not to. You all have convinced me that it's safe but being the type of person that I am, I just don't think I can deal with the stress of waiting for the package! I think I'm just gonna have to keep buying it the old fashioned way, at least until I move to a place that isn't so strict with it's laws.

Having thought about it a while, I am quite certain there are those within higher up law enforcement who strongly believe that every single person who participates in this, no matter how small the degree, deserves to be punished severely, and are doing everything they can to bring that about. Whether or not they succeed is another matter, but I'm just not willing to paint a target on myself that federal agents are trying to aim for.

Fuck the police! I just want to smoke some weed for Pete's sake! "hurr durr durr butt the law is the law! We have to law the law! durrf." that is probably what they sound like in person.

I don't think anyone realizes how much "contraband" goes through the mail.


[1 Points] mynamebazac:

What you need to be doing is looking for vendors who are constantly being spoken of in a good light. They will have been doing this for a while so know the ropes. Also if possible get a po box. It helps me to not ship to my house
