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 agree with NS1
and no hes not talking about crock butter


butter + bubble hash = win brownies

The question is why did the dude even open the package? Isn't it illegal to do that if it doesn't have your name on it? Or only if it doesn't have your address?

That was my question.

what if he was expecting a 37" TV?

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.

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....

Do they really? That seems like an incredible waste of manpower.. I mean seriously.

The chances of catching the 0.0001% of rogue boxes seems so incredibly slim, just given the sheer volume.. I kinda doubt this is true. Maybe in some super anal states that happen to have a hub, or something..

It seems like a better idea to just x-ray every box. But that would probably slow things down considerably. The whole idea just doesn't seem very feasable.

SHENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"He was expecting tools that he had ordered from Sears,? Grelle said. ?He opened it up and thought, ?Oh my.? He loaded it up and brought it to the police department.?

He is bullshitting! When I sent it to my bud it was like 55 pounds. :|

Then I had to pay another $40 to have it 2nd day aired to me again.

Idiots.

They are idiots because you shipped it to the incorrect address?

Only the person that sends a package can have it rerouted and I'm pretty sure it costs a bit to do that.

Chicago has a team and catches people all the time.
