I live in NJ where weed is legal but you can't buy it (legally) so we are sort of in a weird spot. anyway, it makes me really not care about ordering weed on the dark web from CA. if the feds catch it, its an ounce of weed to a residence, they don't care and im not gonna go in front of some federal judge on federal drug crimes. if CA or NJ catch it, its legal there, who cares. but the site I use uses an escrow system where if you don't get the product or if you aren't satisfied you can file a complaint. i've never used it as i always have gotten what i've ordered but it is pretty odd.

  It would be pretty amazing for within the US USPS to not only search but find powdered drugs or pills. It's protected and they need a search warrant. Reasonable cause etc. Maybe if they already had an investigation on you and you were distributing. Customs on the other hand... Though if it's small volume they will often just send you a scary letter in the mail, especially if it's just sketchy looking pills. Or if the scammer is smart they'll just send you the letter and take your money ! Or at least that's what SWIM said from my wasted 20s. LMFAO I miss earlier internet sometimes

    That's how it generally happens from what I understand. A local or isolated investigation is started and during the process they may uncover a reasonably high-level source of the product. Should they be lucky enough to get a warrant to scan an email server that has plaintext business contents, they might come across a trove of tracking numbers. From there the three letter agency will disseminate tips and intel to more local police forces and field offices and innumerable people start getting love letters, visits, surveillance. I also recall hearing that the USPS tracking info page is quite complex under the hood and logs a lot of your device/connection information when you enter a tracking number. No idea how true this is, but it wouldn't surprise me at all and I hope people behave as if it is. Agreed about the wasted 20's on the internet. No doubt I could have better spent my time. But there was some incredible and wild stuff going on out in the wires.

  After medical and recreational weed was legalized, the lost weed company is not really needed. Their prices were pretty high and have stayed that way.

I thought NJ legalized to the level of CA, where you can there are dispensaries and stuff, no?
- klodolph 5y ago
  It takes time from legalization to when businesses appear. Most states, it seems, at least a couple years.
  - andrewxdiamond 5y ago
    That time delay is due to needing to spontaneously build an entire supply chain for weed in-state, as it can’t be moved across state borders. Farms, transportation, financing, retail space, zoning, regulations, and more. Takes a long time for weed to make it to consumers, but it also creates a huge local industry since everyone has to work within the state, at least when dealing directly with the product.
- Cupertino95014 5y ago
  I can't speak for NJ, but in CA it's mostly local opposition that keeps pot stores out. It can be legal at the state level, but if the cities won't give you a permit to open a store, your choices are limited.

I used that and got my money back when a shipping didn't arrive. Also the quality and honesty of the sellers on the quantity they're selling you is great. It's beautiful to see how the market and a reputation system can work wonders, even among strangers with anonymised identities. The street experience equivalent is terrible. A friend of mine (who self medicated in one of the western totalitarian regimes who prohibit weed) got a bag of tea, tissues smelling like weed, he got a knife pulled on him, he got scammed in an elaborate plot which involved him keeping a bag of flour (supposedly coke) while the dealer supposedly went to get his weed for a 50, he had homeless dragging him to a gang of criminals under the pretence of buying weed. Eventually he found someone reliable, a middle aged father with a stable but low paying job and a family - but it's a miracle he's still alive.

  Oh my god. If anything I applaud his willingness to stay on the hunt :) Presumably this was in a larger city, as most of the places I have been have had ad hoc, safe and established distribution networks that weren't too difficult to break into after some time. This is in the US though and I can't quite tell what country you're referring to (though I could see someone referring to the US tongue-in-cheek that way) I'd go even further to make a case that the market and its reputation system works similarly well for the aforementioned ground level networks, if you can find them. Read the room, be a desirable client and behave with everyone's interests in mind and you will likely never have an issue. Good business is good business regardless of whether it happens online or in person I suppose. As an aside I often wonder to what degree the prevalence of onion markets over the past decade have impacted the availability of weed within these offline distribution networks. My anecdotal experience from my legal-weed-desert neck of the US has been a slow growth of offerings and inventory stability and a 20-40% reduction in prices. No idea how much of that is due to the online markets.

Cannabis is still federally illegal, and sending it through the mail is on top of that a federal mail crime. Not too wise, though I'm not at all against using cannabis.
