Only from the USPS which is Government regulated...

He was expecting some tools or something and probably didn't notice the wrong address till afterward.

How hard is it to look at the name on the package? Even when I'm expecting a delivery I do this.

Why the hell would he return that?!

Would UPS have any idea where a package was delivered to? Even if they did, its not like the sender could figure it out.

All you people badmouthing schwag.. It's like you never cooked with cannabutter.

I know from experience that a 1/4lb of the cheapest bud cooked in 1lb of butter leads to AMAZING edibles.

30lbs of buds means 120lbs of butter!! That's enough for a whole year! most cookie/brownie recipes only call for 1/4lb of butter.

I know for a FACT that that butter is absolute shit.

My butter would blow your mind. And I mean that in the dirtiest way possible.

I gotta say, I'm offended here.

Was it the TCCwiki recipe? Because I didn't write that and I don't follow that. I only provided it as a reference. I'm sorry, I'm terribly curious at just wtf you two are objecting to because I know for a fact that I make awesome butter.

That just illustrates how important it is to get the address right.

Or maybe they intentionally put the wrong address on it thinking that UPS would fail to deliver it, and then some other guy could use the tracking info to pick it up at the Dallas UPS facility. That way there is no identifying information that could tie the recipient to the drugs.

There is probably someone working at the Dallas distribution center who was supposed to intercept the package from the pool of undeliverable packages. Unfortunately for that person, a competent employee saw the package first and noticed that the address would be valid in Denton.

As far as the person being brave to drive the package to the police, the article doesn't go into much detail there. It's possible that the recipient first called the police before bringing it in.

WOW. What a dipshit...

Remember the mayor of a town had some pot put at his door by police. When he took the package inside, not his package by the way, they busted in and threw him and his mother in law to the floor and shot his dogs.

If it was me i call the police right after opening it.

what ever became of that

Last I read/heard was the Police cleard themself of killing the dogs. Mind you they did not talk to the mayor or his MiL. They also did not examine the dogs either.

After that i think the mayor asked the FBI to come in. I can;t seem to find anything new since.

Back in the mid-80's, I was on a job in Pocatello Idaho. One of the foremen was from Arkansas and used UPS for his pot shipments. Can you imagine his surprise when the cops showed up? UPS often has drug-sniffing dogs in their facilities because it's well known that they're supposed to be a safer method of transport.

He was charged by the State of Idaho with some kind of drug transportation conspiracy, but by the feds with drug laws, interstate flight to avoid prosecution, (warrant in ark.) as well as a myriad of other federal charges.

AFAIK, a LONG time. IIRC, the state offered him 10 years for a guilty plea and the feds offered him a bit more to cop a plea.
How much he actually served I don't know, nor if he was ever able to negotiate any probation instead of jail time.

Damn, that sucks. Boneheaded move on his part to begin with, but still.

I seriously doubt UPS has any drug sniffing dogs in their facilities. There's no way that they are going to stop the miles of conveyor because the dog points its nose at a box.

Not to mention that there are probably almost literally eleventy billion boxes going through UPS hubs at any one moment. I bet even getting the dogs close enough to the boxes would be hard.

Yeah, there's no way. They rely on pure luck and/or idiots to catch people.. Wrong address, box breaking open, etc.

I will admit that I've shipped "questionable" things via UPS. That's all I'll say. 😉

I've pulled many a trailer from UPS distribution/sorting centers and they don't have dogs sniffing anything. That's not to say UPS doesn't have a team that travels to their different locations around the country randomly and check for drugs, and who's to say the government could also randomly check fedex/ups distribution centers. But UPS isn't.

The police have teams set up randomly sniffing packages at ups/fedex....

But..... common sense would tell you that whoever sent the package would eventually figure out that it went to the wrong address. Who wants someone at their door w/ a gun threatening you b/c you stole their goods right? Smart move calling the police.

More importantly who the fuck wants to smoke 30 pounds of swag?

this. though, at least you don't have to worry about expiration 😉
