When applying for a P.O. Box, do they take down your present address when you show them the 2 forms of I.D. ? And if they do, doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of getting an P.O. Box in the first place ? Might seem like a stupid question but it keeps rearing it's ugly head in the back of my mind. By the way, Great post Lana, Thanks.

Just a suggestion - I try to keep a couple of ID's with old addresses on them for things like this. My PO Box is registered to an address that I haven't been to in years. Also, before I move I like to get my drivers license renewed with the old address so I have longer before it expires. That is also pretty useful during traffic stops. The less they know the better.

Hey Lana, just want to say THANK YOU! for writing this up, it has answered many of my questions. I just have one about the P.O. Box though. I plan on ordering marijuana seeds, which of course are illegal in the US, and was wondering, I am putting myself at a greater risk by ordering them to a government building then to my own place? I mean, ordering something illegal to have a government agency hold it for me? That makes me a little nervous. I originally was going to order everything to there, but ordering a bong to the post office ...I don't think so I think I'll just order that to my place, but about those seeds? Also, it says you need to have two forms of identification, and that one of them must have a picture I.D. - Well, I good with that (license) but then it says that a birth certificate is unacceptable. Now, were they saying it was unacceptable to that fact that you can't just bring that, you need picture I.D. or that it is an unacceptable form of identification and they won't count that towards the 2 pieces that you need.

I remember when they used to sell psilocybe mushroom growing kits complete with spores at head shops in the early 80's in the USA. After paraphernalia became illegal, the head shops disappeared.

Hey so I thought I'd add a trip report.
I ordered a pipe from an online company (easybongs.com) whose main contact address is in Amsterdam of all places. Shipping was relatively cheap compared to other co.uk sites. I had to order internal because I couldn't find this particular pipe (Agent Blue) anywhere in the US. So yeah, they send it double wrapped in a discrete brown envelope from France. Good job on their part, though within the second envelope they through in some free blunts and screens which would have likely reduced the effectiveness of the claims made of non drug-related contents.
Anyhow, it came in fine. I was all worried it'd get grabbed, but I got it. I ordered it a week before Christmas, it came the following week.

Quick question. I've read so much today about this great hobby. I'm about to place my first order for spores and wondered if it is indeed a terrible idea to have this delivered to my home. I would open a PO Box but if this is just a one time or even a few times a year thing would that even raise concern? I have no intentions to share this hobby with anyone other than myself and my lifestyle is very clean cut so there is no chance anyone would ever need to visit my home. Thanks again for the great write up. I was just wondering if this was for everyone or just the heavy hitters.

afoaf I know had them shipped directly to his home and didn't have any problems. But that was awhile ago, and it could depend on how the police prioritize things in your area. I would recommend having a friend order them on your behalf, but you'll probably be fine.

This is great and all but there are two very important security measures missing.
1. ID if you use your own info can be traced.
2. This forum logs IP's which can be traced to your home or where you log on.
My sugestions:
1. Nov ID
2. Proxies atleast.
best of luck.

What is a Nov ID?
-------------------- The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate -Noam Chomsky

So if the Po Po find a ton of jars, lids with holes, filters, perlite, vermiculite, an incubator, Pressure cooker, and spores, will they arrest me? None of it is being used but has been used in the past. Everything is clean so there's no sign of any mycelium.
