I would order from a reliable shroomery sponsor if I were you, and knowing how many people order spores I wouldn't worry. I have yet to hear of anyone on here ever say the dea came to their house for ordering spores. If you want to be realy safe, have them sent to a friends house who you trust and pick it up there. Just my two cents.

first off, when you order spores from websites... they arent usually sold as "llegal mushroom spores or even as hallucinagenic mushroom spores... just simply mushroom spores. Thats kinda like buying a random pack of seeds and having the DEA on your ass cause they think your growing some weed or opium or somethin

Don't worry, The DEA would rather mess with the vendors than you. You are small fish. Look what happened to P.F. They busted his ass and now he's out of the spore biz and now he's lookin at serious jail time, and his spores were "the shit". Poor fella!!! Like I always say, pay with cash and don't worry about gettin' ripped off or paper trails. How much are you gonna lose anyway? You're not buying a million dollars worth of spores. And if you're still nervous, you shouldn't be growing and eatin' shrooms. That kind of paranoia will freak you out when you're tripping.

He wasn't busted for selling spores, he was busted for growing mushrooms.

Wrong.
He served several months of house arrest, meaning he wasn't allowed to leave his house.
He did his time and he's now a free man.

OH, thanks for the insight. I'm glad he didn't do serious jail time. When I heard he was busted I was afraid to go back to his site to see what was going on with his trial. I thought they would follow it back to my computer. I thought it was for selling syringes. O.K. now I got the facts. Thanks!!

The reason hes was busted is because he actually sold shrooms over MAIL, kids parents intercepted the packages and alerted the police and the FBI, I read about it awhile back.

To clearify even futher.....
Vendors will NOT tell you how to grow, nor will they send you guides/teks on how to grow.
Selling spores is legal, selling information with spores (as sad as it is) can be looked at as "conspiracy to manufacture".
PF sold spores AND instructions on how to use them. This is another reason why he was watched. And this is why any educated vendor WON'T give you instructions on how to grow.
If you order from a vendor, and they explain to you HOW TO GROW, I would suggest not dealing with them.
Also remember, spores are LEGAL. Practice and exercise the law. The DEA can't bust you for buying spores. Although they can bust you for growing This is why many people suggest getting your spores sent to a PO box or an address that you don't grow at.
Good luck!

ordering spores is safe. growing is where the problem comes in. And if you are growing them then you should do it in secret. even your best friend will blab on you if only to sound big. when the word gets around that is where the trouble starts.

I know it's legal (at least in my state, I'm not CA/ID/GA) but would ordering semi regularly ever be cause to suspect anything other than legal uses? after all, doesn't looking at them under the microscope get boring after a while? my vendor also sells spores/LCs for stuff like Shiitake, so even the feds can't be 100% sure I'm even buying actives spores. does buying stuff like this/other paraphernalia ever give cause for a search?

I know this is an old thread but I’m in CA and I ordered cubensis spores and liquid cultures which arrived unopened and safe. Before, vendors refused to ship to CA, ID, and GA(I think). Now most vendors I see only prohibit shipping to ID and GA. (Correct me if i’m wrong)

I frequently ship out gourmet syringes and never had an issue so if you want to be careful you can disguise it as a gourmet syringe. I don’t think they can tell unless they actually grow it out so most of the time they will just destroy it then send you a message about the destroyed package, if they find it suspicious. I’m pretty sure you don’t have to disguise it though because I got a package full of cubensis-labeled spores, spore syringes, and liquid culture syringes delivered to me in CA.

I don't think any of those spore laws have been enforced recently, if ever. Vendors mostly don't want to ship to those states so they can't get targeted if someone did decide to pay attention.
One reason is that drug laws are generally enforced by testing for the drug, and growing the spores would be really time consuming for a misdemeanor conviction. The crime labs usually have huge backlogs and don't have time for projects that don't yield benefit.
