And if you call, I think they would especially have reason to secure a warrant.

You should tack the letter on your wall, frame it maybe and don't respond.
Its important at this point to SHUT UP and don't say anything.
You have the right to remain silent, anything you say may be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to consult with an attorney and to have that attorney present during questioning.
Not responding / saying nothing will not look bad at all if it does end up in court.

Salvia, I think And I have a strong feeling the usda contacted him only because they like to whine about potentially invasive species and all that But I could be wrong

I talked to the usda guy and you didn't do anything, don't worry about it
I guess now k9's can smell either alive plants or salvia 
But yeah, he said when the inspected it they found no prohibited items so everything is fine and nothing is going to happen 
You're all good, homie

Yeah, I did, but not before usps/usda fucked it up when they opened my box with their search warrant

My guess is him being not part of continental US and having live plants shipped in and getting a dog to hit on it was just bad luck. Hope the plants are ok.

I think its BS that dogs pick up on plants and dirt. The sheer volume of plants, dirt, etc that is shipped around the US makes this an overwhelming tasks for the postal police. Not only that, but a dog hitting on dirt or plants couldn't possibly be enough to get a warrant. Thats not solid at all.
My feeling is that someone ratted you out and the cops used dome BS story.
I can't find anything on the net saying that dogs hit on plants or dirt btw. Also, plants and dirt are everywhere. It like getting a dog to hit on oxygen.

Regardless, it was Salvia, so it's okay, but yeah, I thought it was pretty damn odd that they found the box being sent to me. There really was no just cause written on the warrant at all either.

Thats really weird. I would want to know specifics of the warrant, but why piss them off? You got away with it (although you didn't do anything wrong).
