parcel question
    #12311278 - 04/01/10 10:58 AM (14 years, 1 month ago)

A package was delivered to our home. It was wrapped it cellophane with a green sticker on it from a spill team and the reason as marked "poppy seeds".

It was sent priority.

Do we have anything to worry about? Wondering exactly what this is. I'm not opening it.

Does it have your name on it?

We're you expecting anything?

I don't see what the problem would be in opening it?

Maybe it's a present :smile:

Floral arrangements. Happen to have seeds in them on occasion...

Still a little worried.

I don't get what the problem is, if there's a label saying there was a spill, and it says 'Poppy Seeds', and you were expecting flowers, that may have seeds in them.

Just maybe, some of the seeds spilled out, so they attached a note, saying so?





Are you worried it might explode or something when you look inside?

Worried that if there are poppy pods inside that there's reasonable suspicion to obtain a warrant and what I should do.

Ordering poppy pods will not cause them to get a warrant.  They are illegal but the law isn't enforced much unless there are other drugs in there too.

wouldn't worry too much unless there was something else in there too,  keep in mind you can buy poppy seeds at any grocery store and pods are in floral arrangements all the time

What difference does it make if you open it?

Are you worried that they might come round tomorrow, and find them?

I'm not so sure that just because they are in a parcel that you aren't liable for them. Otherwise, one could just stuff packages full of whatever, and claim "I haven't opened it, idk what it is, not mine", right?

Opening the parcel won't trigger a police raid. If there is something in there you weren't expecting, that is illegal, and you're worried, dump it in the trash?

It's already been inspected by customs, if they were going to do something about it, a controlled delivery would have been attempted and you would have already been arrested.

If you're really worried about it, write "RETURN TO SENDER" on it and hold onto it for a month until you feel safe opening it. That way, if "they" come in, the package is still unopened and you can even claim (and show) that you intended to send it back. It would be really hard on a prosecutor to go very far with that.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Poppy seeds are legal. So no worries there. Growing opium poppies is illegal, however the current stance despite the law is that unless there is clear evidence of multiple cuts or a very clear indication of opium production or etc items to show intent to grow them and produce drugs from said growing, the law wont bother you.

Literature on using poppies to produce opium or etc is enough for intent if a search were conducted.

Overall Id say you have nothing to worry about.

And yes if they were going to do anything about it, agents would have hand delivered the package and conducted a search and/or made arrests. So again nothing to worry about.
