I've been debating doing the same with my extras. At least for locals and such. If you’re willing to share tips/tools you use I’d love to hear how to make this happen without too much online exposure and personal risk etc

The way I run things is (at least for larger orders) I have the client send me an overnight or 2 day FedEx label to an anon email. After we settle in sats, I pack up their goodies (double vac seal and sealed in bubble mailers), forward their label into the FedEx store I’m dropping at, and ship in a well-taped up FedEx box. The overnight or 2 day labels are expedited and they appreciate those customers. I’ve been doing it for almost a decade and haven’t had any issues. I have the client use a dummy return address obviously. They don’t ask for any id and since the label is already paid for when I go in to drop the package they just print it out and stick it to the box. No KYC at all.

FYI: law enforcement can open fed ex packages without a warrant. If you use UPS, this requires a warrant. Also, email stored on a server like Gmail doesn’t require a warrant either…whenever you use a third party (like a bank or credit card for payments), you have no expectation of privacy under American legal precedent and warrant-less searches are the norm.

Law enforcement doesn’t care about weed. At all. Many tons are being shipped all around this country every single day. The federal authorities put zero resources into stopping cannabis at this point. Especially small packages where they can’t find the shipper. It’s a zero priority. Authorities are completely overwhelmed by hard drugs being trafficked in the US. And even 99% of that shit goes undetected.

IANAL, but intrastate it might not even be illegal. Interstate probably is. All I know is the feds employ too many people in general and depending on the agency and personalities involved, the deeper they scrape in the technically illegal bucket.

The feds do not employ anyone looking for small parcels of cannabis. They just don’t care and it’s not in their mandate period. You must be older, a lot of older people have very unrealistic ideas about law enforcement and cannabis. I’ve been hearing this from older people my entire life as grower and I’ve never had an issue in over a decade. Growing, shipping, hustling. Nothing. The Feds will never dedicated a million+ dollars to investigate, indict and prosecute a person shipping a pound of weed now. Not to mention the cost of imprisoning them for some piddly 6 month sentence. It makes no sense and they simply do not care. Cannabis cultivators and cannabis users have disregarded federal and state laws in an unrelenting and decentralized fashion until we won. It’s a great example for others on how to beat the man. Be ungovernable.

I’m all for civil disobedience against unjust laws, but I’m kinda shocked to learn this hasn’t been viciously prosecuted / persecuted in a while. It’s rare civil disobedience wins, but I suppose if there are many, none stand out to target. This is a positive development for a free and secure state…overreach can only extend so far.

Definitely a win for freedom. Many have paid the price along the way especially in the 90s. But if you know anything about the bureau of prisons and the type of prisoner there I think it makes more sense. There are some vicious hardcore criminals running around out there, the Feds would much rather use resources on them than a bunch of harmless kids shipping $1000 worth of weed. The Feds definitely try to make examples out of harmless people (samurai) but it’s way past that point with cannabis.
