Hey there I was wondering if anyone had some info about the security measures taken by the government to make sure stuff like buds/shrooms arent mailed around within the US? Has anyone done this successfuly/unsuccessfuly? Also what would be the safest method, overnight, ground, standard, USPS, UPS, FedEx? AFOAF wants to know because he will be going on a road trip soon and would like to mail us back some presents. Thanks!

Probaly standard mail would be the safest. I'm not sure if they can look through your mail to see if anything is illegal (I don't think they can), but even if they can they don't do it on an often basis (unless there is probable cause, like a box that reeks of reefer). I say use standard mail because that is the way that things are least looked at, because there's so damn much of it.
I wish I had a Kryptonite cross, because then I could keep both Dracula AND Superman away.

Try FedEx ...hahaaha....j/k Lana http://www.apbnews.com/newscenter/breakingnews/2000/04/14/fedex0414_01.html Feds Finger FedEx Drivers in 121 Ton Marijuana Scheme 45 Arrested; Weapons and Cash Seized April 14, 2000 WASHINGTON (AP) -- Making dozens of arrests, federal drug agents on Thursday broke up a Jamaican-led narcotics ring that employed bribed FedEx drivers in a scheme to distribute 121 tons of Mexican marijuana to East Coast markets. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) said Memphis, Tenn.-based FedEx's top officials fully cooperated with the 18-month investigation, which has led to the arrests of 101 people since it began. The latest arrests began shortly after midnight Thursday, and by late afternoon there had been 45 arrests, 22 of them FedEx employees, DEA agents said at a news conference. Rod Benson, assistant special agent of the DEA's special operations branch said he expected an additional 10 or 15 arrests. Boxes sprinkled with detergents Agents said the arresting officers also seized two tons of marijuana in West Coast warehouses, one under control of the Mexican group and another controlled by the Jamaican traffickers. They also seized 18 firearms and more than $4 million in cash and assets. Related Story: Agents: Drug Ring, FedEx Workers Shipped Marijuana Donnie R. Marshall, acting DEA administrator, said that the operation marks the first time that marijuana smugglers have used a single, private, overnight-express delivery service as a distribution network. Marshall said the smuggled marijuana was shipped in more than 4,000 cartons and boxes, some of them sprinkled with household detergents to try to mask the smell of the plastic-wrapped marijuana from drug-sniffing dogs. $140 million retail value

Mushrooms are fairly safe to send in a regular envelope if theyre powdered, if not i'd get a larger envelope just make sure it looks discreet...With pot you have to be VERY careful though because of the smell. The people i've known that have done this wrap it in many bags and i've heard a bag then vaseline then another bag covers the smell..you could even go as far as to put it in a stuffed animal, then youre not so much at risk. If you do get caught for SOME reason, just deny all knowledge of the package and say its some sort of threat, and they can't do anything unless you've already opened it
