Its really a shame to see fellow farmers so terrified of such petty things.
My buddy was shipping pounds thru USPS from northern cali to Florida, Chicago, Arizona, etc.
Dudes own dad signed for a package back in Chicago and got busted by undercover cops. He was white ,with money and a good lawyer. Got probation.
I know a lot of the old timers grew up in a waaaaay different life than us younger kids did , where a joint was life in prison ,but things are hella diff these days. Don't forget, this is capitalist america, you can buy any freedoms you so chose. (As long as you're white. Sorry . not racist however I'm not ignorant to the way this country treats certain people)
The way I got cuts was plastic baggy around the roots with moist paper towel, inside a PVC tube with airholes and a small battery powered LED. Usually shipped next day air
