Not all sellers of mail-order weed are scammers. It is perfectly possible to buy reasonably-priced, good-quality weed through the mail, but you need to use some common sense and do some research. First, you should stay away from unsolicited emails offering to sell you bud through the mail, unless they are willing to supply product up front, at least for the first buy. Second, stay away from websites which are easy to find via Google and other search engines. When you find someone you think may be legit, check the scam list first. Do your research! Check message boards like this one to see what people are saying about them. Most of the legit mail-order bud people get new customers by word of mouth. Ask around in weed-oriented chatrooms - get to know people, and soon you'll have a few names you can check up on. When you think you've found a supplier you want to buy from, ask them plenty of questions. See how quickly they respond to emails, and what kind of details they supply to answer your questions. If they take a long time to get back to you, and/or they're answers are noncommittal or dodgy, you probably should avoid them. Most places that are legit either take cash only or payments through an anonymous service, like e-gold. Sending cash through the mail seems risky, and in some ways it is, but the honest places will generally not screw you over: they WANT repeat business, and their success depends strongly on their reputation. And most important of all: NEVER spend more than you can afford to lose. Even with the best sellers, shipments do occasionally get seized or lost in transit. The better suppliers will generally replace a seized shipment, if you provide them a copy of the Customs Notice of Seizure, but lost shipments are usually a write-off. As far as getting busted for buying via mail, it's very rare. The amounts are generally to small to make prosecution worth the effort, and proving your intent to receive contraband is extremely difficult, if you use some common sense. Don't open the package immediately. When you get it, write "Return to Sender" on it, and set it aside for a few hours, or even 'til the next day. This gives you plausible deniability in the event law enforcement tries to make a bust. And if questioned: remember the three Ds" Deny, Deny and Deny. They can't prove anything, unless you've been stupid enough to leave a paper trail.
