Notice the cactus seedlings growing in his window, poor kid might have been a board member.

Feel free to delete this if its a repost I didn't see it yet.

Quote:

A Greenville man is locked up after deputies say he was shipping psychedelic mushrooms through the mail.

Christopher Benefield, 27, is charged with three counts of possession with intent to sell and deliver a Schedule 4 narcotic, maintaining a dwelling for drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia, and manufacturing with intent to sell and deliver a Schedule 1 narcotic.

Yesterday, deputies, with the help of DMV, the Department of Homeland Security, and the U.S. Postal Service, searched the man's apartment on Maplewood Court. Inside they found a mushroom grow operation, and 1,000 Valium pills, with a value of over $10,000.

Deputies say more charges are pending against Benefield, who is jailed on a $350,000 secured bond

It means that if this were his private home, it would be subject to forfeiture, in which case the state could confiscate the house on the presumption it was purchased with "drug money."

I wonder what mistake led to all of this. Aside from the fact that he was shipping drugs through the mail.

LOL...

The news caster called them potentially toxic if given enough. What is the LD50 of shrooms again 64lbs dry?

Perhaps ordering 1,000 valiums. Would be interesting if we knew all the info

But he was sending shrooms through the mail. Possibly in large quantities. Im betting they found one of the packages

If he was shipping it's 99% likelihood that he was on the darknet markets.

If they knew he was shipping them, then they probably didn't intercept the Valium, unless they somehow found the valium in the mail and then linked it to the outgoing mail he was sending.  Doubtful.  The point being, that with both state and federal agencies involved, they had to have been backtracing this guy for a while. 

If you're really curious, look into some of the reports about how they caught people in the first wave of silkroad busts several years ago.  Although most people have fake return addresses, it's still an issue because if the RECIPIENT puts a fake address and the package gets returned, guess what, your postman has a package with a fake delivery and return address.  Sure looks fishy.

Anyway, I think what happened with some of the big SR heroin dealers is that they were basically able to narrow down the metro area that they were shipping from, and then times of day, similar packaging, etc.  Eventually they figure out xyz vehicle is dropping off 20 packages (see DMV involvement in this case), figure out where the guy lives, bam.

I know in several DNM busts, they would find a package, nail someone receiving it, and then have them place a new order as part of a sting, so that they could try and trace the package through the whole postal system or bust the guy when he's dropping it off. 

The other top possibility is that he told one too many people about it, or worse, told someone that he was shipping mushrooms.  Imagine being some college kid (greenville is a college town) getting busted for some shit, and then squealing that your dealer has an operation shipping across state borders.  That's some serious fucking cooperation and info trading, and I'm sure the DA would loooooove to cut you some slack in exchange. 

How did he get that WBS to colonize in old pickle and salsa jars?  I thought you needed a good seal!

Where'd you heard you need a good seal? See those micropore tapes on top of the lids? It has holes underneath so the colony could breath, or for GAS EXCHANGE.

:lol: I just declined that shit right away. I don't deal drugs anyways so even if I felt like it wasn't a setup (which I most definitely felt like it was) I still wouldn't have done it. It's just an eye opener that things like that are happening in the shadows on these forums. Watch out for the :cop:
