I usually buy Bic 5 packs at wally world, was lazy this morning and almost paid a huge price, the local tobacco store gives them away, I will be going in the morning to show the manager pictures and talk them out of handing out fire hazards. I was out in the backyard for an hour and heard the smoke alarm, I don’t know what happened exactly, but it was spontaneous. The lighter was only used three times. Iwas able to put the fire out by blowing on it; this was today in the grow room.
I am sorry to hear about your friend tatonka, burns are awful.

Thanks all.
If you can get the make and manufacturer out of them that would be worth a PSA.

No one should ever try to open a po box at the post office. Fucking stupid. You go to a UPS store or other place that doesn't ask for every fuckin document known to man to prove who you are. I tried to do a PO box at a post office a few years ago and the shit they asked for to open one up was ridiculous. Had a po box in 5 min at a UPS store and I don't even think they asked for a license. Post office was worse than getting your driver's license.

I guess being in a legal state has made some of us soft.... I worry far more about the threat of individuals knowing my grow business than I would worry about any government agency bothering to bust me for my 5x9 tent. lol
very wise statement. And in the US, with the PO, I think they would be more worried bout bean suppliers using their services than trying to locate a pkg addy out of a 100 and get other agencies involved, and not sure what they will find. Maybe a safe addy. Just like the old custom letter days, many folks were growing at same addy, freaked out on the form letter, tore down. posted about it, and then nothing ever happened. From what they stated on the boards. If a person already has a po box established, I don't think its a problem

Whoa, I was one of the ones who had their order seized. Are you telling me that he knew he was putting me at risk and he went ahead and send it that way anyway? What is this about his PO box and him being warned? I'd really like to know. You're beginning to win me over
The admin came in a good long while ago and asked people to stop posting the seedbanks address. https://www.rollitup.org/t/greenpoint-seeds.852731/page-401#post-13996386


What happened was inevitable.
I don't believe Gu was warned until after the packages were seized and when they did warn him, he held everyone's order while he worked it out.

Seizures are nothing new. Its just a stateside thing now rather than Custom Agents. (Feds)

If you've never received a package with green tape you're lucky.

I live in border town. Anything I order from overseas or Canada goes through customs. I've had 2 packages seized from the Tude. It was yrs ago before all these stateside banks opened.

My state is med and rec legal and those fuckers harass people constantly for cannabis. They park outside the dispos and follow folks. If they stop to toke, the agent siezes whatever they have for product/paraphernalia. Custom agents and border patrol are federal agents and are required to uphold federal law.:roll:

Edited to add. I don't know of any other stateside banks that have encountered probs with USPS yet but they also don't advertise like GP or have a thread with a million plus views.

yea, you said stateside, lol, that's what i wanted to know, since many are in MI, OR, CA, CO, and parts unknown. This is the first I ever heard of it happening, and I never heard of the PO slapping someone on the wrist with a warning, etc. Not saying anything, just makes a man wonder. In all honesty, if you are in US and order across the border, you get what you get. With the terrorism crap excuse, you are just taking a chance with em gettin your gear, imo. And yes, some of the other seedbanks are bigger, are advertising everywhere and in legal states. And I, like you, have never heard of it happening elsewhere. I guess if you know somebody at the PO, maybe you can get a slap on the wrist or a warning, lol, but I never heard of that before.

Yeah, my comment wasn't all that clear when I said its just a stateside thing now rather than customs.
