Worried about USPS package
    #13162029 - 09/07/10 08:39 PM (13 years, 8 months ago)

Hi, I was the moron who posted a few days back asking if it would be ok to order 2 pounds of MHRB.  Despite my paranoia I went ahead and did it anyways.

They left a notice at my door for me to come pick it up at the post office.  Am I boned? 

Should I just not pick it up?  I'm really REALLY scared.

MHRB is still legal, right?

Maybe they thought it was something valuable due to the weight and didn't want to leave it at your door, or it wouldn't fit in the mailbox or something.

You could always go to the post office and see what's going on. If it looks like the package has been opened/inspected, or if something else seems weird, just leave.

So that's one for pick it up, one for leave it.  What you say in that post does kinda make sense though.

I'd appreciate some more input from other people.  Thanks :frown:

DMT isn't, and legally MHRB is DMT

This is a tough call, but I would err on the side of safety and do nothing personally.

Do you have any context as to the normalcy of them not delivering the package but rather leaving a note?  Does it make sense tat this would be done, or do you not have much experience with package delivery to that location?

Mainly because I just don't care anymore.  My life is shit anyways.

Maybe some time in jail will do me some good.

You think they have a cop sitting in the post office 8 hours a day for the next week waiting for you? If they were going to arrest you for the package they would come back to deliver in person, and then arrest you on the spot.

I think I deserve it at this point.  I've never committed crimes or anything (aside from the obvious things we all do here) but I think I kind of deserve it for the way I treat people.

I'm almost certain I'm going to be arrested :/

Yeah yeah I know.  Jail is better than what I was going to do.  You gotta trust me on that one.

Besides....  Everything I've read leads me to believe I'll be fine to go pick it up.  People are right, cops aren't going to be waiting at the post office for me....

And on the off chance I go and cops pick me up, I can just remain silent.  I mean, why is it illegal for me to make dye out of it anyways?  I'm a huge hippy and naturalist, and they'll see that if they so happen to bust down my door.

I don't grow or do any drugs anyways.

ALRIGHT, NOW I think I'm not going to pick it up.

Checked the tracking a couple hours ago and of course it tells me the notice was left at the door.  I just checked again, and now there's two things that say a notice was left...

Notice Left, September 07, 2010, 6:38 pm,
Notice Left, September 07, 2010, 5:14 pm,

I'm really confused.

ADVICE ANYONE??

Reading says cops won't leave notices.  Paranoia says the police will do whatever they want.  What do I do?

It's not a controlled substance - go pick it up.

Mescaline can be extracted from San Pedro cacti and that is legal, Buffalo toads (or whatever) contain active DMT and those are legal as well if not prepared for consumption, and even the very seeds to grow illegal mushrooms (spores) are largely legal in the U.S. for research.

The only way I would be worried at all, is if I ordered a bunch of stuff online as well (Naptha, Lye) to do extractions, and they held those packages as well.

If it were my MHRB, I would go pick it up - it's every hippies right to make some perfectly legal purple dye for their smelly tie-dye shirts.

I agree with anon #4 and others who said pick it up. Its not a controlled substance, you know what to say if they ask what you are doing with it, right? Don't be a pussy, just pick it up. Cops love to see us living in fear. No one will arrest you and you can ask why it wasn't just left for you. Bring the notice with you and act innocent. The bored clerk will hand it over and that will be the end of it. If they ask what's in it, say rootbark, if they ask what it's for, give a legal reason or tell them it's none of their business. I would do the latter. Examine the package closely to see if it was opened or not. Ask the sender if a sig was required and if so, why?

Pick it up. like the other person said, they don't have cops waiting at the post office. They would have arrested you shortly after delivering it. Its not illegal. When you get to the post office you should punch the lady in the face who gives you package, that way you can go to jail like you wanted AND get your package.

It is a schedule I controlled substance.  Legally it is defined as DMT.


Quote:

Nope, both are legally defined as mesclaine.  Peyote is different in that it is in itself a controlled substance regardless of whether it has mescaline or not.  The cacti's you mention are mescaline, not a controlled substance in-and-of themselves by virtue of their species.  This is the difference.

Quote:

It seems you may be confusing what the definition of a particular criminal act is with what is legal.  The toads are DMT per your facts- preperation doesn't have any affect on the classification of the substance into the various schedules or whether it is or is not such a substance.  The analogue act has provisions which depend on such things as intent to consume et cet in defining the schedule of the substance, perhaps this is what your thinking of.

Additionally, it seems you may be confusing prosecutorial discreation and the factors usually present in convictions/.indictments with what the law is and what the scheduling of things are.

Remember: there is far more than one statute that they can nail you with, and even if a particular conduct is not a criminal offense undera  aprticular statute, this is far from being 'legal'.


As for the people advising him to explain the use of this product to the clerk, this is not wise.  You should not provide them with evidence.  If their asking that means their suspicious and your better off saying nothing.  Justifying it establishes your knowledge of the subject and essentially admits your intent to possess and ship it.  Where that is itself a crime as it is in many drug cases, that's the case- your innocent intentions (though this is obviously false) notwithstanding.

Mimosa Hostilis Root Bark itself is not illegal, however, preparing it for consumption / extraction is when it becomes illegal. A law enforcement agency could argue that if it is pre-powdered, it was being prepared for consumption, but that evidence alone is flimsy at very best. Mimosa hostilis grows wild in several regions of the U.S., there is no attempt made by law enforcement agencies to remove this species from these regions, so I highly doubt that it is 'scheduled'.

The fact that you may get it pre-powdered is suspicious yes, but as Nicholas Cage said in Lord of War, "Thank God, we are living in a world where suspicion alone does not constitute a crime."

If it is scheduled, I am not able to find any such information in my searching of the internet - could you provide a link to this information?

21 USC 812(c) Schedule I (c)

Quote:

Unless specifically excepted or unless listed in another schedule, any material, compound, mixture, or preparation, which contains any quantity of the following hallucinogenic substances, or which contains any of their salts, isomers, and salts of isomers whenever the existence of such salts, isomers, and salts of isomers is possible within the specific chemical designation: [...]
(6) Dimethyltryptamine.




This classifies MHRB with any quantity of DMT as a schedule I substance regardless of knowledge, intent, et cet.  As I said, intent and whatever matters for particular statutes, not for the scheduling of scheduled drugs.

> Mimosa Hostilis Root Bark itself is not illegal

As others have pointed out, it contains an illegal substance and because of that they can charge you.  Will you be found guilty?  Who knows?  Will it cost you, regardless of guilt or innocence?  Absolutely.

> If it is scheduled, I am not able to find any such information in my searching of the internet

http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/21/usc_sec_21_00000802----000-.html:
Quote:

(6) The term “controlled substance” means a drug or other substance, or immediate precursor, included in schedule I, II, III, IV, or V of part B of this subchapter. The term does not include distilled spirits, wine, malt beverages, or tobacco, as those terms are defined or used in subtitle E of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.




Quote:

(23) The term “immediate precursor” means a substance—
(A) which the Attorney General has found to be and by regulation designated as being the principal compound used, or produced primarily for use, in the manufacture of a controlled substance;
(B) which is an immediate chemical intermediary used or likely to be used in the manufacture of such controlled substance; and
(C) the control of which is necessary to prevent, curtail, or limit the manufacture of such controlled substance.




But the real kicker is...

(6) Dimethyltryptamine.

...




If they really wanted to put the screw to you, they would claim that you are planning to manufacture a controlled substance because MHRB is an immediate precursor to n,n-DMT and they also nail you with possession of a controlled substance because MHRB contains n,n-DMT.  What is the jury going to believe you were planning on doing with two pounds of the stuff?

Scheduling does not necessarily imply the legality or lack thereof of possessing said substance, but the distribution of it being regulated by the government. From my understanding of the law, it may be grounds for investigation as to intent, but does not constitute breaking any specific laws by merely possessing it.

If this were the case, plant nurseries across the entire U.S. could be raided for selling San Pedro cacti species, because they contain a trace amount of mescaline.

Also, note the case of bouncing bear botanicals. He was raided, arrested, and an investigation ensued as his business warehoused an alphabet of products containing scheduled substanances - however the charges were dropped as there was no evidence to prove his intent to manufacture a scheduled chemical from said substance. They confiscated his inventory, as per the 'regulation' portion of scheduling act, but from a criminality aspect - he had broken no laws.

If it is scheduled it sure isn't possible to say it's legal, that's the point.

There are many situations in whcih the law provides prohibitions, and many of them will prohibit certain acts with controlled substances. 
Quote:

Intent to do what?

Anyways, I'm not sure what the point here is.  I've not argued contrary to this, and in any case, this is generally not going to be the situation of relevance to members here.

The original poster and those on this website who possess MHRB or order it will be commiting a crime.

I believe that the federal possesion law would provide criminal penalties for simple knowing possession of MHRB or ordering thereof- I think due to the vagueness of the law the defendant should have to be proven to know of the DMT content in MHRB, however; I dont think this is required under the law at all.

In this case, the person who knows they possess some item will be guilty if that item has MHRB in it, and the guy who orders it online will be guilty.


Regardless, the big problem is that people make bad decisions on the basis of these matters of law which are usually irrelevant in the normal course of things.  Regardless of all this there is certainly cause to arrest and charge anyone who possesses MHRB, and since everyone on this site will be breaking the law by possessing it and ordering it, it is wise to not treat it as if it is a legal activity.

In these discussions of law people seem to loose site of reality and forget that they will be convicted not on some matter of law but because they confessed or admitted several elements of the offense allready.

The advice in this very thread to explain some hippy use for the MHRB would establish some of the elements of the offense of possession of DMT (all in my view), and this is agood example of this.

The fact that you claim charges were not brought does not at all mean this is the case and it has even less to say about what the law is.  You refer to the absence of some action and that never establishes law

As they could be, certainly

?  What reguation portion?  I don't know what your referring to.

The power to confiscate is the power to charge in essentially all cases.  That no charges were brought has almost nothing to do with the law and certainly nothing to say about it.  I guarentee you that decision was a matter of fact rather than law.

I agree with almost everything you said there, except this:

Quote:

This was, however, the case. Let me explain:

Quote:


The original poster and those on this website who possess MHRB or order it will be commiting a crime.




If this were true, that would make BBB the biggest commercial psychadelic kingpin ever to be busted, and then shortly after cut loose. I'd have an easier time believing a penguin flew across the Atlantic, than believing that the DEA dropped all charges on BBB, if the scheduling act was considered law rather than regulation.

There was documented sales of materials containing scheduled substances confiscated, there was an abundance of materials containing scheduled substances confiscated, however the federal government did not have a strong enough case to pursue a conviction.

That is a profound statement, considering it was a fairly large scale raid on a commercial company. They found materials, but did not find any evidence worth of a conviction.

Let me repeat that:

They found materials containing scheduled substances, but because they could not prove an illegal intent with those materials, they could not pursue criminal charges.

To ask 'What intent?' is just being coy. As I said, the DEA confiscated the inventory as per the 'regulation' portion of the scheduling act, however this case spells out in black and white - there were NO concrete criminal charges that could be pursued despite the overwhelming amount of 'scheduled' materials.

ALRIGHT, NOW I think I'm not going to pick it up.

Checked the tracking a couple hours ago and of course it tells me the notice was left at the door.  I just checked again, and now there's two things that say a notice was left...

Notice Left, September 07, 2010, 6:38 pm,
Notice Left, September 07, 2010, 5:14 pm,

I'm really confused.

ADVICE ANYONE??

Reading says cops won't leave notices.  Paranoia says the police will do whatever they want.  What do I do?




christ this isn't rocket science, the company you bought it from probably had signature requirement and you weren't there when they knocked or they knocked lightly and just thought you weren't home so they left a note, and you go pick it up at the post office, it's happened to me a million times, don't worry.

if it was confiscated you would either get a note in the mail stating so, or they would simply come arrest you. i wouldn't be worried at all.

Picked it up, everything is fine.  It was exactly the same as picking up a normal package from the post office.

So you can all sleep well tonight knowing I'm not going to be going to jail for wanting to make some dye.:thumbup:

Thanks to everyone who said I had nothing to worry about.  You were right :laugh:

This whole situation gave me alot of time to think.  You know, being prepared to go to jail really changes a person....  I'm changing my life starting today.

Thanks everyone!

Tell some police it's legal.  I guarantee they'll have a different view.

This goes back to the endless arguments about are poppies illegal to grow, are 100+ varieties of cactus which contain some traces of mescaline or other illegal substances illegal to grow or possess? Then there is the star jasmine, a common ornamental which contains ibogaine, a controlled substance. Even poppy seeds contain controlled substances and you can buy them in the grocery store.

When you get to dmt, there are hundreds of varieties of plants that contain some amount of it. And if you want to talk about precursors, there are so many species that contain known or potential precursors that it's amazing. In theory, all of these plants are illegal and can get you many years in jail. In practice and in fact, this is not the case. I'm not going to argue with the usual suspects because it's like debating how many angels dance on the head of a pin. If bbb got off without being convicted, no one is going to be convicted absent evidence of extraction or intent to do so. If you extract dmt, yes you can be charged with a crime. If you extract opium, morphine, mescaline, ibogaine or many other compounds from a plant, you can be charged. Growing or simple possession will not get you into trouble. In theory, medical mj growers or users with state permission can go to jail for many years if obama wants to start the raids again. Don't worry about that either.

I realize a few people will never accept this reasoning and will continue to monger fear uncertainty and doubt. There is no convincing them so don't try. Keep your mouth shut and you are good to go. Failing to exercise your right to remain silent whether in custody or not, has lead to more problems than anything else.

This has nothing to do with whether your "good to go" or any other nonsense in this post (nonsense that's been corrected in the past and for which no citation has ever been provided).

This is about exactly what was said in the post: whether it is a controlled substance and whether certain acts are illegal.  Enforcement and the crap you inexplicably invoke as if it was the issue are quite a seperate matter.
