anyone do it before? I can't imaginge it being all that risky. a friend of mine can't seem to find any where she lives and I figured I would help her out since I have them falling out my ass. i was thinking to just take a quarter and kinda press it together abit, wrap it with a little foil, then some saran wrap, and then tape it up. think that would work? i know dogs can't smell shrooms but I was worried about the x-rays, I don't know what they would see if I did that. I know syringes make it no problem (from state to state, not internationally) and I would think they would check what looks like a syringe before they check a big light lump of something, maybe if it was heavy they would suspect it but 7g? I doubt it. I'm just looking for reassurance, advice, or a way you (or afoaf) have sent them before.

or you can put the mushies in a couple of ziplock bags and stuff them into a shampoo bottle, guarantees no chance of smell and even x-rays wouldn't know wtf is going on inside that bottle. oh and send me some! What I would do to have shrooms falling out of my ass like you. Very nice of you to help your friend out

I think you would be fine. How could an X-ray tell what species of mushroom it is, or that they are even mushrooms? And I doubt they would have any reason to X-ray you package. Just don't put a return address on it and relax .

I'll put one more vote in for capping it. It's the least suspicious form, especially if you put them in a bottle thats supposed to contain some gelcapped herb like echinacea, like someone else suggested. Include in the package a little note that says "Sweetie, I'm worried about you being away from home for the first time and getting the flu, it's a really bad one this year and I'm not around to take care of you! Take these echinacea caps I've enclosed and get plenty of rest! Love Mom"
They probably wouldn't open it, or be suspicious of it, the note is just a little extra cover.

you're forgetting what season this is...well if you live in any christian country such as the US...it's christmas!!!!!!! the packages that are going through the postal services right now are incredible...large and small...weird and normal...you think they have time to stop the packages and look at it? pffft. nothing special need be done...i'd send her more than 1/4 and stick it in a box...no one will think any different of it. if they ask you what it is...just say a present :P

chocolate = weight = more money to ship
llamaboy easied my worries, I would cap it but 1- I'm lazy and don't want to spend the time packing like 28 caps (decided to send a 1/2) 2- I don't want to spend the money nor waste gelcaps by sending them in a bottle full of other very useful caps.
I got a real tough padded envelope and I'm just gonna squish the half in a plastic baggie and stuff in it the envelope and put it in one of those other priorty envelopes. If I'm not around in a couple days at least you guys will know how not to do it

do you really think they're going to put every letter through some x-ray thing?
I've mailed mushies, but that was in Europe and it worked good. just in a ziplock or other plastic baggie and make sure the envelope is flat so maybe you'll have to crush them a little.
good luck

I've sent 1/8 of shrooms from California to Missouri once in one of those yellow envelopes, and it didn't have any problems reaching its destination. Just put the proper postage on it and you'll be fine.

I had a friend send me 30 grams of fresh cow field mushrooms a few months ago. All he did was put it all in a ziploc bag and put it in a box. They came a little bruised, but they made my friend and I trip incredibly well.
What I would do is just put dried shrooms in a plastic bag and put it in a padded envelope. Fold up about 20 sheets of computer paper and place the bag in the fold so that it looks like the envelope contains a stack of papers. Use an address from a local business as to not arouse suspicion and ship it via USPS First Class mail. First Class mail travels on trucks only instead of planes so it is subjected to MUCH less scrutiny.
I have used this method to send up to a half ounce of marijuana at a time and have never once gotten a package seized. I got all of this info from a family friend who has worked at various post offices and sorting facilities for the past 30 years. He also uses the same method to ship shrooms and marijuana, but uses a vacuum sealer for the weed. That isn't required for mushrooms though because there is no recognizable odor.
Good luck!

SWIM mailed some chocolates, an eighth of dried shrooms, and a half oz of trainwreck to a friend. came through a day late but it did get there. USPS overnight is the way to go.

Mailing illegal drugs in the US is not a good idea, plain and simple. Sure it can work most of the time, but it's risky business. Be careful.

don't worry.. send it priority mail and nothing will happen.. hell send, weed, speed, heroin.. anything priority mail and it will get there.. They don't have time to have a dog sniff all packages and even if they did drug dogs won't sent out shrooms.. NOTHING EVER GETS CHECKED UBLESS THE PACKAGE IS SUSPICIOSE...
Don't worry be happy!
