It's federal because the Constitution says so (see Section 8; Powers of Congress).
Items sent via USPS can be seized with a warrant. Items sent by other carriers do not need a warrant, just a suspicion.
- KiranRao0 5y agoDoes this apply to other non-federal carriers (UPS/Fedex)?
- olliej 5y agoThe warrant requirement only applies to USPS. UPS, etc only need suspicion to provide parcels to law enforcement
- CoastalCoder 5y agoI'm curious though if states in which purchase/use is illegal (by state law) can successfully have the sellers extradited for trial and/or seize their in-state assets.

- Bud 5y agoExcept the Constitution doesn't say so. Not anymore. Not with the current 6 right-wing votes on SCOTUS. From here on out, the Constitution says whatever Judicial Watch and the Federalist Society say that it says.
