    Ordering seeds online

    I have a friend who is planning on ordering some pot seeds from the UK and having them mailed to her here in the US. She says she doesn't want to buy pot anymore and would rather grow herself a plant instead. I am a bit worried about her getting into legal trouble and would like to stop her from breaking the law if possible.

    She says that it is legal to sell seeds in the UK so the worst that would happen is they might be confiscated in US customs but I am not so sure about that

    Can anyone here help me find some factual information regarding this kind of situation. I don't want to see my friend get in trouble and maybe if I can show her some legal information she will refrain from placing the order.

    Thanks!

    She's right. Only, it's REALLY frequent.

    1st off they'll probably mark the box ORGANIC. Which makes customs look at the label, and the one that U.S. customs will tear off will have a description of the contents inside. This will say Cannabis Seeds, or something truthful. It's all done there, because she'd be buying with intent to grow, and growing weed is illegal in most states. (not 100% sure but my state it is...)

    That's my friend's telling...did this a while ago... wonder how he's doing... can't close his mouth to save his life...

    ALL MY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS comes from a letter that was sent to an old roommate/friend doing this that explained why all his shipments have been held in customs. He bought 4 different orders. :/

    That has to be the stupidest idea I have ever heard of.

    Tell your friend she needs to PUT ... THE ... BONG ... DOWN.

    She will definitely be going on a list in the least.

    Don't buy that shit from the UK.
    Buy from BC.
    Less legal, done more frequently, easier to get away with, better weed.

    Look into it at least.

    Also...to cover her tracks a little, make the address a business mailbox or something...anything that's hard to trace to her. Get her to get a different PO box somewhere...relatively easy to do. <--That's kind of a crucial step.

    Also, you can't just 'grow a plant'. There's like male and female plants, and all sorts of crazy breeding stuff you have to do to get smokeable pot.

    While she may be correct insofar as that being the worst that is likely to happen, she's grossly mistaken about that being the worst that could happen. In a "worst-case scenario" situation, she could find herself being prosecuted for violations of Federal law re controlled substances, customs, etc.

    Personally, however, that wouldn't be my major concern if I were her. Instead, I'd be worried about the possibility of their ID'ing the contents of the package and then allowing it to be delivered to me anyway, without my having any idea it had been identified along the way... 'cause it's not like they don't know how long it takes for seeds to become plants and, when the time comes, they'll already have more than enough for a warrant.

    Just my $.02 but, all things considered, this is a very bad idea.

    "Not that I would know..." but...all legal arguments aside...when is the last time you heard a smoker friend say "oh...man...I got some killer new UK shit.". Answer : Never. Overall, the US Mail is a bad idea, for all the reasons mentioned above and then some.

    Anyone out there have any case law or rulings that I could show her to make her reconsider? I already tried telling her some of the things mentioned in this thread but without some black and white proof she seems to think I am being paranoid.

    Well you're not being paranoid, but is it really your business to convince her what to do? It seems like she's going to do it. Just google the sentences she would face if caught and show her those.

    You are probably correct Pinup Girl. I am just concerned because she seems so naive. I think I will do the Google thing and then leave it up to her to decide. Thanks!

    Ah man - someone is in a deep sense of denial. That show cops every night shows them busting people with a joint. When she comes calling ya for bail, you can say "I told ya so and sorry, call Dog Chapman's wife - maybe she can get ya out."

    Not that I or anyone I know have ever done this or anything like that at all! But if someone already buys pot, they can grow plants from the seeds in the pot they have bought. It's a pretty difficult process and they needs lots of babying.... Plus as someone mentioned, I believe only female plants have smokeable buds and so on. It's also a very expensive hobby, seeds aside. Someone would need a hydroponic set, an area safe of neighbors, lamps, so on and so on...

    K... start with this: http://www.metroactive.com/papers/me...uana-9929.html

    And, after that, take a look at what's been going on in Canada - in sum, at the behest of the US DEA, the RCMP has been going after the seed dealers in Canada and, most importantly, turning their computer records, etc., re orders placed from US over to DEA.

    I had a friend send some pot to my house once ( I dont smoke it ) but he was coming out for a week or so . So without my knowledge he sent me a model plane which I asked him to a few weeks earlier and also sent a jar of peanut butter with a bunch of weed stuffed in it . I didnt think that was very cool of him but it made it without any problems . Its a stupid idea !
