Peyote from Overseas?

I recently ordered three small peyote plants from a reputable company in England. I have ordered from there before with great results, as have some people I know. Typically, the order takes five days to get from the UK to California. Now, I have been waiting 9 days. How long before I worry that customs grabbed it?

I think they send you a letter saying it was intercepted.

always the chance. cacti are CITES (protected internationally...means more paperwork), and all plants need paperwork. dirt will cause them to automatically quarantine. because peyote is ilelgal in teh states they will probably take it. no idea what sort of legal type stuff could happen, although i wouldnt be too worried about that part.
edit: 9 days is not a long time to wait. id start worrying after 3-4 weeks.

Yes they send you one i have got 2 letters for cactus from overseas.
I had to wait a long time for the packages that did make it from overseas so 9 days is nothing.

always make sure that you have a clean house when ordering illegal substances (peyote) into the US
there has been a recent bust involving a peyote shipped from overseas that resulted in a search warrant of their house and they are currently doing time
just be safe!!

I really wish you didn't tell me that.
Was it a large quantity?

nope, one single specimen.
just always be careful when dealing with scheduled substances in the mail. it's not as "safe" as these companies would like you to think.
I'm not saying you're done for, I'm just saying if you're going to make some risky decisions, best to have a clean house/apartment.

I would like, at this point, to interject that I have a collection of letters from customs. I have got them for numerous marijuana seeds, and a box of mushrooms that I ordered from Amsterdam. All these letters are 2-5 years old. No police contact has ever resulted (for me) from ordering strange stuff online...

Well, they are planted and sitting on my table now. So far, federal agents haven't kicked the door in.
Thans for the advice.
