60 Pounds of Dimethyltryptamine Seized by CBP Officers

Clearly it was 60 pounds of bark not pure DMT. I though bark was legal. I know I use it for dyes, or something. I get the feeling US customs just seizes everything, including legal RCs on the basis most people are too scared to fight it VD
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WYVQ) – A potent hallucinogen bound for the Netherlands from Brazil has been seized by border patrol agents in Louisville.
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection release, agents intercepted almost 60 pounds of dimethyltryptamine (DMT) at the Express Consignment Operations hub on June 23.
CBP officers inspected the parcel based on their knowledge and experience of the shipper and receiver. The shipment was coming from Brazil and heading to an art and crafts business in the Netherlands.
Upon inspection, multiple bags containing reddish-brown material was discovered. Based on prior lab reports, seizures, shipper, and similarities in the material and labeling, the substance was identified as DMT, a schedule I controlled substance, the Border Patrol said.
“Our officers are committed to keeping our country and communities safe from illegal and dangerous drugs,” said Louisville Port Director Thomas Mahn. “I commend our officers for the work they do every day to make the world a safer place.”

If it was being shipped from Brazil to the Netherlands, why/how did it end up in Kentucky?
...and why does US border patrol search packages that are not being shipped to or out of the united states?
I'm obviously not savvy with the logistics of international shipping...but I wouldn't think a package that's going from Brazil to the Netherlands would end up being searched by US border patrol all the way up in Kentucky?
And super lame that once again plain powdered root/bark is considered to be "60 pounds of pure DMT" .

I doubt there is enough mail between Brazil and the Netherlands to justify direct flights. CBP has authority over everything passing through US borders, even if its only in the US for a short time as it passes through an international hub. They obviously didn't need to search it, but they are an active participant in the ridiculous drug war so what do you expect.

You guys live in fucking la la land where 60 lbs of MHRB can be identified and convicted for as if it were 60 lbs of crystalline DMT freebase.
Imagine you have a 1.5lbs squirt bottle of cocksauce Sriracha  Now, cocksauce contains like 2% salt so what they are saying with a completely straight face is: "a 1.5 lbs squirt bottle of salt was found"
Thats so unjust its not even funny.

Someone wrote in a pub thread about a guy supposedly getting jail time for weed seeds based upon the pounds that those seeds would have produced.
I really think having an entire industry dedicated to "criminal justice" is ass backwards, we have millions of people who's primary job every day upon waking up is to work their hardest to put other Americans in prison for the maximum of amount of time possible for any reason they can possibly find. Prosecutors should have to have to work as defenders for half the year, cops should be mandated to work as civilians in rehabs and at-risk or second chance programs some portion of their time, the whole us vs them thing is out of control and becomes a game to those with the power. And they usually win even when they're wrong, which is horrifying from a human rights perspective.

It's like the case of Aaron Camacho, teenager who was charged with possession 180 grams of LSD because of the solution it was dissolved in. Plead guilty to avoid 20 year sentence, received a 9 year sentence(mandatory minimum). Tried to appeal because the law clearly states that the carrier medium should not be counted, but because he plead guilty they denied his appeal...as a guilty plea removes ones right to appeal on such basis.

It’s not “la-la land” it’s a system created by drug enforcement where anything found gets added in order to punish as much as possible.
Like weighing mushroom substrate along with shrooms, which would be like 3x more maybe. And suddenly you paid 40 bucks but you’re working with “a million dollar operation”
None of this is just lack of oversight or a mistake, it’s done on purpose. Makes the case that much harder to fight and might even end up on shroomery front page, which is prolly a win for le
So if MHRB is 1% DMT, it’s actually about 6 lbs, but not extracted. Just natural bark
Remember this is Louisville also. Don’t know how Hunter S Thompson managed to live there I found some of the most fire bud there when I visited actually
And yeah whatever they find they seize. Man I remember getting all my tryps from NL and not even worrying about customs like 10 yrs ago. Seemed like standards for purity and such were higher when it was all tryps and phens vs now when with all the dissos benzos stims. Used to just be a way to get rare psychedelics. Now it’s really about “drugs”. The RC community used to have rules like no opioids and they would not synth lysergamides. Def not fent (not on any market site at least)
Once they crossed that rubicon, rc’s will never be the same and now more associated with carfentanil than just pure 4hos and 2cx
First “K2” and bath salts fucked it all up on the American front
NL > Brazil and it passed fed customs but Kentucky had to open it?

0.6 lbs, and that hinges on being able to extract successfully.
You know, it says it was on its way to an "Arts and Crafts store", I presume that was just a facade...but due to its high tannin content Hostilis root bark is used to make natural pigments, it'd be really ironic if the intent was totally legit(which I'm sure its not). I understand they have a history with the shipper, but how can the possibly discern the intent of the receiver? I guess they just know they won't ever have to defend the decision.

Maybe. If so they can try to fight this cause it’s bullshit. DMT is approved for religious use, Mimosa is not illegal nor is it a precursor of any kind, all kinds of plants contain dmt. I get the feeling if it was just root bark uncrushed these dumbasses wouldn’t be able to just call it “dmt”.
As a powder, they can try to finesse it.
Ugh. Disgusting that this is still happening.

Soma misnomer. Pie in the sky. Mindlessly sober. Perpetually high.
Unethical retributions. Enforced by the unharmed. Perspective dissolutions. Uprisings disarmed.
Hidden shadows. Restricting colours. Awareness gallows. Seperating lovers.
Illumination gifts. Let no law succeed. Time shifts. Do not concede.

My friend is currently going thru this same situation in the states. Charged for every gram of bark but was used in soap n topical salve. Fbi/homeland se unity has court every month original bond $2 million for 25kg of bark no drugs no nothing just a honest business.
They are saying under controlled substance act anything at any % u can be charged for full weight.

In NZ they would try charge for the full 60 lbs as pure DMT rather than the bark
