Got an interesting email from Amazon.com 1

Apparently the DEA has recognized mushroom substrate jars as a schedule 1 substance. I got an email from amazon saying they removed my listing, as seen in the image below. I was selling sterilized BRF substrate jars, nothing else. Just straight BRF and vermiculite mixture. Surprisingly lots of people were buying them and I made some good money off them. I even had a disclosure saying that they were for edible mushrooms only. Very interesting.. But hey if they say it's a schedule 1 substance then that's enough motivation for me to stop selling them and maybe lay low for a while. What do you guys think?

Yeah, ummm, I'd say that does indeed qualify as an "interesting" email, lol.

I'd keep selling them. Jars with rice aren't illegal.

If i were you, I would find somewhere else to sell them..Everyone knows what they are used for, but until then it is just jars and rice.
I got a interesting email from USPS from MY USPS..
"USPS item seized by law enforcement" a little while ago. Guess you gotta love legal states not caring about personal amounts of weed.

Thats dumb as fuck
If thats the case I have absolutely no clue how bongs arent illegal. Bongs can be used to smoke anything, just as sterilized jars can be used to grow anything
Here's my theory. Amazon likes to cover there ass, so even though your jars arent illegal, they're not allowing you to sell them. Just like they pulled almost, if not all, kratom listings

Those bastards! 
Ive seen some jars on eBay, im thinking of buying some just for kicks, hope they dont go illegal there too!
Maybe u need to rename the posting or just sell the jars as if they were empty then include the mixture "for free"

Pretty sure what you are doing isn't illegal, so I don't know how that is possible.
Probably not worth hiring a lawyer over but seems like BS. Also are you sure the email is legit? Did you email back or phone amazon to check in on the matter?
No idea why someone would do that but as another member mentioned it does kinda look fake.

Did they actually remove it? There's nothing illegal or schedule one about sterilized brown rice and vermiculite. Email does look kinda fake. If it was actually amazon and they were actually forcing you to remove your listing because it's "DRUGS" I'd think they would probably fucking do that themselves not say please comply in 48 hours

From what I understand certain items that are technically perfectly legal, such as microgram scales, are heavily watched by the DEA, it's possible they might have added products like these jars to that list of watched items too.

It's possible. But you can still buy Naphtha and Lye and Glass Turkey basters and San Pedro and Mimosa Hostilis and they all show up in related items LOL I would think an official Amazon email would be worded a bit differently than that. Or if it actually violated their terms they would remove it themselves. I could be wrong. But the wording is kind of jacked up. It's most definitely not a schedule 1 controlled substance. Now if they said something about possible manufacturing or something.. If it is Amazon, that's a piss poor template. If it's a spoof... probably some competitor or something.

I'm guessing somebody flagged OP and Amazon sent some kind of warning without bothering to look through the listing. I would try to write an appeal or send an email to the proper channels to get this sorted out. Don't just delete the listing without getting to the bottom of this first.

Ya that could very well be the case. There's nothing illegal about sterilized substrate so I would definitely go through the proper channels if it is real.

So i looked up that link: https://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/21cfr/cfr/1308/1308_11.htm
Looks legit. Has a long list of sch 1 substances including Psilocybin and psilocin. And since mycelium contains both, PF jars can make those amazing chemicals.
Its either this scammer did their homework or it really is from the DEA.

How is it a scammer though? They aren't asking for money or your password or anything, right?

Ah, okay, that kind of scammer. Yeah, could be. Well, a simple email or phone call to Amazon should sort this issue out.

Only noobs buy those premade pf jars. What kind of musbroom grower would want substrate jars that have lost their ideal particle density and consistency from being tossed around in the mail?! Only nubs
