Even if they did, won’t they get a lot of false positives because of a large amount of it being sprayed hemp buds that are legal as hemp? Also, I know a lot of dispensaries get their stock like vape pens and such delivered this way already. How does that all work?
For USPS they have a list of verified hemp vendors, they tried a couple years ago to open packages suspected of marijuana without a warrant. The outcome was it doesn’t matter if they suspect it, you still have to get a warrant. So now if a vendor is a certified hemp vendor they can’t touch it. Now UPS and FedEx are private companies so they can do pretty much whatever they want, that’s why almost all hemp shipments go through USPS. I’m paraphrasing a lot but that’s the gist of it. USPS is currently and has been the largest drug dealer in the country, even with omitting hemp because with the volume they process you could never catch them all and every other drug doesn’t have a pungent smell like weed.
Like Mitch Hedberg used to say “I love the mail guy, he’s a drug dealer and he doesn’t even know it!”
An escalator can never break down. It can only become stairs. The sign says “Escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience.”

A broken elevator is also like stairs when you’re on drugs
Escalator. An elevator becomes a room when broken.

Well, if you’re stupid enough to mail some weed or any other controlled substance via USPS Media Mail, they don’t need a warrant or even Postal Inspectors to open it. As long as it is clear that the item is not media of some kind, it can be opened and documented to charge the correct postage.
Saw this before when some ding-dongs tried dumping mushroom growing kits (not exactly illegal) in the blue box at my old office. The only reason they opened them is because the fertilizer inside was causing a noticable amount of steam to come from the box (it was winter as well). All they really did was return it for proper postage because it was the wrong type.
Why would you mark your weed media mail? Mine shows up as regular first class mail. Never had an issue. It’s legal in most of the US.

They can just delay your package until the warrant comes through. It doesn’t take that long.
And “we got a hit by a dog/swab” is usually accepted probable cause for opening it up
They can also alert law enforcement in the shipper/receivers area to bust you when sending or collecting the package. I recall a few years ago someone sent a weed shipment and used the address of the mayor of some city in Maryland as the recipient and the police raided his house and shot his dogs.
and shot his dogs.
bastards. It’d be funny otherwise.
Babe, wake up, someone found a new way to sic cops on people.
If it weren’t for the dogs it would be funny.
A friend of mine used to ship pounds at a time through FedEx. He would ship about 20 packages every fall, half of them made it to their destination, but he and the recipients were never contacted about it. His thinking was that if someone at FedEx noticed, they would just keep it, while someone at USPS would probably get the wheels turning for prosecution.
Knowing someone working for one of the three services you named…. They don’t really care. The people at the counter can’t accuse you of anything unless you are dumb enough to say you are shipping weed. After that, I would assume shipping is laxed due to your mentioned reasons.
Yeah I know people that have sent a lot of weed through the mail and as long as it doesn’t obviously reek of weed, they really don’t care.
maybe things have changed but years ago it was generally understood that a little bit once would be ignored but a huge amount or too often wouldn’t be ignored. best to double ziplock your ganja and stuff it into a half full shampoo bottle for travels, like an adult.
I just moved from Southern NJ to Miami, Florida and I just put 3 8ths in with all my other junk and let the movers transport it for me 🤣
Never heard of the shampoo thing and am an adult, please elaborate on what the procedure is and why you would do this
I recently learned that its pretty normal to order weed online to have it delivered in Canada. Lucky bastards…
It used to be more normal before legalization, now it’s mainly for people who buy in bulk. Local dispensaries are more convenient and actually pay their taxes
The absolute best is flying with weed inside Canada. Accidentally bought too much on your trip? Not a worry
I still hate that you can buy weed in Ontario and you can buy weed in New York, but bringing it across the border gets you arrested.
It’s totally normal in the US. I get a monthly subscription delivered along with other occasional orders. Former president cheeto signed the 2018 farm bill essentially making it federally legal. A few states have banned it, but most places it’s fine.
Holy shit, he actually managed to stumble into doing something good?
Right?! He either didn’t know or kept it quiet.
Just seal it well and they won’t have a reason to inspect it in the first place.
Regardless of whether they care or not shipping something across state lines that is illegally federally would give me pause.
I do wonder about how dispensaries are stocked now that you mention it.
The lady at the local dispensary said that most of the product is grown in state to ensure it’s not a felony to cross state lines with it. She did say that in the earlier days there was shady practices in driving things up from Cali but now it’s all in state.
It’s very closely regulated in most states and everything in a dispensary is labeled, accounted for and on camera at all times. It’s really a bit absurd.
and on camera at all times
Reminds me of the time cops raided a pot collective, tore out what they thought were all the cameras, and proceeded to make themselves at home.
Tore out all the cameras they did not. They were caught on camera eating the pot merch, playing darts, and joking about kicking an amputee in her “nub”.
Cops doing cop things…
