Some where here on RollItUp I made a post talking of this risk as you all call it.
I have been buying seeds on line for as far back as I can just about remember.
You all know Marc Emery? I purchased my seeds from him for years with out a hitch. Then He got busted for selling seeds. Then I moved over to HighGrade- Seeds.com. I have also used buydutchseeds.com, and PlanetSkunk.com, and the DEA never came knocking on my door, ever! I have purchased every single time under my real name and my real home address.
So here is the scoope on buying seeds online using a credit card, cash, or money orders. The DEA knows we all are buying seeds online, the problems that they have, is they have a tough time getting your info from these seed banks mainly because seeds banks are out of country (usa) and the seed banks destroy all info pertaining to your order. Thus the reason they are busting up the seed banks, which isn't an easy thing to do.
If you start using fake names and addresses customs might get suspeciuos and come after you. And if they do, so what, all you have to do is lie and say you never ordered the seeds and it must be some kind of mistake on their part (never take a lie detector test - you don't have to, it's your legal right).
We have laws here in the USA that protect us from these kind of things. The problem is we can or anyone can order stuff like this and have it shipped to your address without your knowledge, thus the reason for the laws we have that protect us from things like this. It is when you start to get scared and start doing stupid stuff that'll get you busted. Order the seeds just like you would anything else. If you use a credit card and they come knocking on your door, lie and claim that your credit card must have been stolen. Once again we have laws that protect us in that area as well. Never ever allow a lie detector test to take place.... It's your legal right not to take one!
~Don't be stupid, do as you always do when shopping online. Oh and if they do come knocking get rid of your hard drive - Destroy it! ~ They must have your permission to enter your property. You say no, then they have to get a search warrant. That'll give you just enough time to destroy evidence (hard drives, pot plants). Although they could get a no knock search warrant and show up unannounced, but they must have suffiecent evidence to do so. Once again don't do anything stupid that'll give them a reason, like telling people about your grow, or letting the neighborhood stink like pot! And never, ever put the remains of your plants in your garbage can.
Instead bag it all up take a drive during the day and dump it in a dumpster far from your home, use gloves so your finger prints don't show up on the bags. Never do it at night because most cities are dead at night and you just might stick out like a sore thumb!
