Do you think it's currently safe to receive drugs in the domestic mail

The use of the mail for dealing drugs has recently been highly publicized via drug documentaries such as Drugs Inc. and news reports about the Silk Road. In light of this, I ask this question.

Depends on where they came from and how they are packaged.
It is not 100% safe.
If they came from within the country and re packaged well, it is 99.9% safe.
If they come from outside of the country...well...It really depends on what drug and how much of it there is and how well packaged it is. They usually do not bust people for small amounts unless they get bored.

I was wondering about domestic (within the same country) and I changed the thread title to convey that.

As long as the package does not meet the suspicious package criteria, you'll be fine.

If it is a large, very light box coming from Humboldt County, California, I might worry a bit.

I'd say I generally agree with this as correct, except that I disagree with your percentage for well-packaged mail.
I'd say it's probably that high a success rate for well-packed mail only if the mail:
1- Is not singled out randomly, sniffed by a dog, etc
2- Is something that is not easily smelled by a dog, or something they are not trained to "hit" on.
3- Is packaged in such a way that all smell is 100% contained, and no residue was left on the outside of the packaging. Not sure how hard this is to pull off, but I'd think that for drugs like marijuana, cocaine, and heroin it could be difficult. I'd guess you'd need at least a few different packaging locations, separated by a change of clothing , or shower, or disinfection, or something, not to mention excellent packing materials, and/or multiple layers, etc etc.
I'd say your big risks right, aside from potential profiling as a "suspicious package" would be mail getting searched / checked randomly (via dogs), or ordering from someone who is being watched because of all the SR nonsense. Or maybe if you were an SR customer, and you ever sent your addy unencrypted to a vendor, or if some unscrupulous vendor kept your name unencrypted somewhere, or began cooperating after they got caught, and they kept a list as a bargaining chip (it seems this may have happened already) and cops are therefore keeping an eye on your mail....
That's my assessment.

If your stuff is a small quantity of whatever packed in multiple layers of mylar, it will be fine.
Larger quantities of stuff will sometimes still get a hit from a dog, due to the increased drug/surface area ratio of the package.

It's not 100% safe, but IMO it's safer than buying drugs in person. If you're buying drugs in person, your physical identity can be linked, there will be records on your phone, and your telecommunications provider.
If you're receiving drugs in the mail, chances are you are using something like Tor, PGP, and a fake receiving name, all this combine to give you plausible deniability even if the package is intercepted.

Of course it depends on the product. Lucy, being just a slip of paper, will be more difficult to detect than herb, which takes up more volume and stinks to high heaven.

I learned from the following episode of "To Catch a Smuggler" that x-rays are quite capable of detecting even a thin layer of powder heroin: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showthreaded.php/Number/18986520/vc/1
