Does anyone know what happened with this case? Seemed to just disappear.

He must be in prison, or he'd have let us know....??

One more positive (?) possibility is that he was able to plea for probation. If so, it wouldn't be unusual for one of the conditions of the probation to be avoiding websites like this.

I wonder what's the problem with the australians and the kiwi's. They seem to be afraid of the plants. Just read about some legal issues they are making up there. Crazy people...

--Yup, they want to keep their people "living in the bubble of their brainwashed activities they call life", they don't want people to awake and realise that 75% of what they do is meaningless, wrong, and not for their own good and spiritual development. They like their "slaves". And they prefer them blind. They're a lot easier to control when it's like that!

Well this is the case in many places... Just the government's sickos at work. But who would want people who think outside the box as their "slaves"? As long as the politicians are gaining from it, they'll do anything against the peoples wishes.
Just look at the ban on industrial hemp due to the fact that you can make diesel out of it. Doesn't that explain why in the US it's illegal even to grow pot that doesn't have THC in it? Etc etc. But I don't want to start.

If he got jail I'd imagine their would of been a news report about it, with it just disappearing I'm wondering if police/customs realised there mistake and wanted it swept under the rug. On the other game can take years to get to court in these cases.

Or maybe they made him disappear...

Bumping this old thread.
Anyone know what happend to this case?

I believe the most important lesson from all this, is to avoid importation.........

Don't let a few dollars difference, expose you to the escalated levels of scrutiny...........

And just maybe, 40lb's was not very smart..........just sayin.......

IMHO

What a shity world we have to live in. 40 pounds or 4 what does it matter ? The fact is that you get arrested and go to prison for having a PLANT in you possession. I am fed up with this stupid world. Really fed up. Fuck this.

I hope On_Bail is ok not in prison and just trying to avoid this place while on probation.

I think a lot of people have no choice. I'm in the UK and I don't believe there are any UK suppliers of powdered MHRB. I was impressed with ****. They shipped the MHRB as leather dye/tanning product but I would imagine most suppliers do this.

I agree however that 18kg was excessive and I'm not surprised it was flagged. I've imported many things that would be considered a bit dodgy and I've learned that the smaller the package, the better. Large packages attract attention.

zedwings, please refrain from mentioning suppliers outside the supplier subforum.

actually, it does matter.
purchasing bulk anything makes it seem like an individual is running a business, and uncle sam's minions reserve the right to investigate.

Only update I've seen about this case for those that may be interested link.

Thats not what I meant Benzyme. I was not talking about quantity , maybe if you read my post again you may understand.

yeah, I read it; the retort still stands. buying bulk anything is suspect. you'll have agencies like FDA snooping into what you're up to.

This is exactly the problem in my estimation. The folks behind the curtain so to speak just want automatons. They want people just smart enough to run the machinery and do the paperwork of businesses, but dumbed down enough so that they are not capable of critical thought. They sure as hell don't want us taking substances that open our view up to see other realms and that make us less controllable to their whims.

Those in authority have been imprisoning folks like us for a long time, but it seems especially since the turn of the last century have they been putting people in jails over the mere possession of plants. Up until 1970 it was legal to possess many drugs too... such as LSD for example. We in the USA have guys like Ted Kennedy and Art Linkletter to blame for these laws being passed near the end of the 1960's

You are absolutely right about that. But that was not what I was trying to say we all know that.

What I was talking about was the fact that you actually get arrested for possession of harmless plant.Its unbelievable. This is evil world we live in right now. Soon we wont be allowed to grow our own fruit and veg. and I am not joking.
