Nervous about friend's request to receive package...
#22194493 - 09/05/15 08:47 PM (8 years, 4 months ago) |

So my buddy is offering me a couple hundred bucks to receive a package of god knows what in the mail (most likely x, k, or cid).
I'm thinking I should probably decline this offer. I mean, it would be nice to have the extra chunk of change. But a seasoned drug-dealing friend of mine warned me that, as the receiver of illicit substances, I could still be held liable for prosecution even if I didn't open the package.
I wanna play it smart, so unless I'm in the clear on the receiving end, I'm gonna pass on this one. Thanks in advance for any educated legal advice - I'm all ears people!
XOXO to my fellow Shroomers

Couple hundred bucks? That's a really big incentive to receive a package.. I'm thinking the value of the package will be much higher so if anything does happen, you will be held responsible. Bad idea.

he's offering u a couple-hundred bux to do that? LOL WTF, he must be picking up in BULK
i wouldnt do some shit like that
normally the standard thing people do is if they get somethin for their friend, they can just have a few doses of it. but a couple hundred? sounds like ur friend wants a kilo of meth sent to ur house

You're taking a risk and it's not one I'd take for a couple hundred bucks. If he's so nervous about having it delivered to himself, that says a lot about the potential shit you might find yourself in.
If you do, do it. Do NOT sign for it. That won't keep you from prosecution, but it could go a long way in a defense later on. If you take the package, throw it on a table or something and just walk away. If cops bust in, keep your mouth shut. Don't even mention it's your friends.

Thank you all for the advice. Yeah... he moves a fair amount of product. And I certainly don't have the money for a lawyer. Sounds like this one is definitely a no. *sigh* No such thing as a free lunch!

Did he tell you what country the package might be coming from?
EDIT: nevermind. Whatever he's buying, he's buying a lot of it. Tell him no fucking way.

As long as your buddies connect knows how to make a pack right and vacuum seals it, I wouldn't worry too much.
So many people use USPS.

Use your brain man! He is paying you a couple of hundred to pick up a package? What could possibly be worth paying someone that much just to pick something up?
Dont do it, it could be a setup. you could get busted, shot. Who the fuck knows.
Not worth it. But maybe im just a pussy

I don't know where the package is coming from- probably from within the US though. It's not weed, I know that much. Probably not coke either. But yeah, I think the money all and all isn't worth the risk.

I guessing you would have to show id matching the name on the package so I don't know how you would be able to pick it up anyway.

We can also rule out acid. No sense in putting acid in a package when you can stuff it in an envelope. It's probably a sketchy powdery substance that will surely get you on a terrorist watch list

It's as simple as this. Any one/normal person can send you any thing in the mail. You can not control who sends you postage with out a specific intervening by contacting your local postal service. If you do not have him have the sender put your name on it I would only assume that you should be fine(you should search this - seek legal advice). Even if you did have your name on it, usually what happens is if its found they will ask you to come to the post office to sign for it. If that happened absolutely do not sign for it because that is claiming possession.
Your number one real concern would be the drug dealer having your address. That's what would concern me. I would be more concerned about that than the actual drugs it's self. If you did receive it for him obviously do not open it. I have heard some where that police are not allowed to open your mail. Plus you could say "Idk what this is, it just came in the mail." Just some ideas.. I would search the legal means of the situation of what could happen if you are sent something illegal in the mail and you do not open the package.
If you ever do this.. make sure you get your address off the box when your buddy gets to you place to pick it up.

Clearly as everyone has previously stated, don't do it.

It was kinda stupid from the beginning lol..
The dude doesn't want to receive his own package. That's a huge red flag. That's some pretty shady shit and more so I'd really question if he was a friend to begin with. It's almost like "I want to get these drugs but if anyone goes to jail over them, it should be you."

Man, that's what work's all about. Risk = Reward. Do you need money? If so, the answer is simple.

I think its more like risk versus reward. Is the reward worth the potential risk? Considering he doesnt know what the risk is, I would immediately issume a worst case scenerio, because you never know what the fuck his "friend" may be up to. What if he is recieving a human head in the mail? 
But seriously, You never know what kinda shit you may end up in if you do stuff like this. He sure as hell wouldnt pay him a few hundred to pick up a package full of hard candy.
