Spore Shipments

What has been the argument as far as shipping spores to your residential address where your grow will take place. Does anyone feel that there is substantial risk receieving spores from Canada into the states?
All opinions welcome.

Wrong forum my friend, this would bbe better suited in the Safety and Security Forum.
No, I don't think anything used for microscopy purposes need make you fear. Seeing as how no one does anything illegal here, and we all use the spores for Microscope viewing why worry? As it stands all the grows and such you see here are A)Works of Fiction, B)Heresay type AFOAF stories, or C)Done in a country where the cultivation of active species is legal.
I think you get the idea.

If you're getting spores from Canada, then that means it will most likely be a spore print. Spore prints are mailed in plain envelopes that don't require any type of customs paperwork to send and are never checked by postal workers. Sending a sporeprint is as safe as sending a letter to someone. On top of all that, unless you live in one of only a few states that prohibit it, spores are perfectly legal.

on one side there are the people who say that spores are perfectly legal, and there is nothing to worry about in ordering to your address. spores are a legal product for one's microscopy hobby, nothing to worry about. middle school laboratory projects. no judge is going to sign a warrant based on the fact that someone bought a legal product. who's ever heard of someone getting busted because of a spore order?
on the other side are those that understand that the DEA and state police agencies know full well what these spores are actually used for, and would be surprised if these agencies weren't monitoring the outgoing shipments of spore vendors (something that would be completely within their power, legal authority, and interest to do). it's unwise to have the address of a grow op on such a list. maybe it hasn't yet, but it could lead to raids down the line, and if warrants can't be gotten, surveillance can always be done until they can. there's no reason to red flag your name and address when there are simple steps to securely order spores.
my personal take on it is that the first camp is being incredibly naive, and i definitely side with opinion #2.

I know this is a bit of a old post, but I wonder if the DEA would really care about some one who took those spores and used them illegally for personal use. Really what harm is being done, why waste man power for a small time user, but I'm sure if they noticed a increase of dealings and seizures in the area then maybe they'd go to that length and see who got shipped what, but then that leads you back to if you don't want to be put under a microscope yourself then there is some need to be careful. Personally I'm taking alot of precautions to remain unknown, not because I'm planning illegal activities, but if any thing were to happen in my area then at least I'm not going to have a knock on my door and get hasseled by the man.

Obviously you've never seen how excited johnny law gets over 2 cakes even. Of course the DEA wouldn't involve itself in the most minor of cases, but your local police would be happy to fill those shoes if the address has already been determined.
