ship with usps, they have to obtain a search warrant to open packages. split the shipment up in separate packages, don't just send the 8 oz. all at once in a giant box. triple vac seal your herb and put that in a moisture barrier bag. of-course do your best to disguise the package as another item (by splitting up the herb into multiple packages this becomes easier).
also, make sure your hands are clean before you handle the packaging. by this i mean don't go take 3 bong rips then pack up your bud, not a good idea. wipe down the bag o' buds to rid the outside of your packaging of all smell. with the amount of time it takes for your package to arrive in Hawaii a triple vac sealed bag should not become permeable, but if you've already got smell on the outside then...you see lol.
I will waste my time, You should not do this. if your sending it to a friend, they are not your friend asking you to take such risks for pot, Tell them to get a connection in state. if your doing it for profit, (8 ozs x $350 or so an oz= not enough money for risk of jailtime/courtcosts etc).
of course everything I say here is just to sound cool I would never have done this
about 20 years ago I might have done this but with much less to send, don't know how that ass convinced me to do it, but I risked jail for some asshole to get high, he had just moved and could not find anyone for awhile in new state to get it from.
as for the quote above, I'm not sure if your aware of the current state of the country. But the guberment does not seem to pay attention to laws themselves and makes rules as they go along. How many times in the past 2 decades have you seen the office of the president declare executive privilege when told by a court to hand over information. Torturing people is not only against international law but morally wrong. Oh and to the torture supporters, I know I know they aren't being tortured, waterboarding is only forced drinking of water really fast, or whatever dumb shit you have to say. I don't trust this government at all. and I wouldn't trust my freedom on the idea they need a search warrant to open your letters. Seems with the current state of things they would just claim they thought they saw Arabic letters on the package so to prevent the terrorists from winning we had to violate your freedoms.
don't expect you to listen, see you in 24 months. peace
