These busts have me thinking.

Now everytime I see a damn USPS truck or pass my local post office I am thinking damn I wonder how much drugs are in there right nowwwww. Then I think shit how long have fuckers been doing that. Has to be decades? When did you first here of drugs being mailed as a normal thing? Has to be 10 or 20 years?

I worked on legal MMJ grows for a few years and all of the old timers I talked to about the modern DNMs were not at all surprised. According to west coast growers I know mailing drugs has been extremely regular since at least the 70s. I'm sure its been going since before that. In fact, one of the earliest online communications (on ArpNet before the internet as we today know it) was a drug deal between Stanford and MIT students in 1972!

Despite what you may think while you gaze upon a USPS truck, the % of mail that contains drugs is actually incredibly miniscule, almost null. There are hundreds of millions of other people who mail things on a regular basis and none of their packages contain drugs.

Society is way bigger than us.

I remember when you could buy LSD (mail order) from the advertisements in the back of "High Times" magasine as early as the mid-80's.

They were probably Dead Heads, allays send a moneyorder to a PO Box somewhere in California and the would send you a sheet of "Clown Stamps", usualy for around 90-120$ a sheet(100 hits). It never explicitly said LSD or acid, but thats what you'd get in the mail a week later. Did it a few times, was allays very good cid.

EDIT: I often pass by a postman and wonder if he's passing along any illicit substances in his travels.

Best irl dealer I had was in college. A dude from the West coast at an East coast party school. This was a few-several years before bitcoin even launched. He was getting it sent in from a friend back home. Pretty sure part of this college plan was the whole selling bud part.

Fantastic bud.

I'm sure it depends on the area, I'd bet every post office in a big city has at least one package containing drugs.

My mom had a friend that shipped weed and acid to prisons back in the 70 & 80s. My guess is that it's been going on in some capacity since the 60s.

I had a dealer pay me to have a package sent to my house. Obviously I used someone else's address so they could be like IDK what this is and really mean it but it was maybe 5 years ago
