Seed purchase in non med state

Hello-new to the grow scene-thinking I'm getting close to dialed in with my cab. I would like to bring in some real lineage as far as seeds go. Just wondering when in a state where you can't get seeds through a disp. or friend who has a med. permit-do you use seedbay or other online sources? Would love to have a secure non grow addie-don't have one yet- but just curious of other growers thoughts. Thanks-Al

Don't worry at all. Once you get the package in the mail, you'll see why it's rare they get confiscated.

just do it . never had any problem from the boo.i have had them sent to many places that werent medical. even if you are medical its still illegal as the mail and planes are federal. and feds dont care about medical anything.

done it about 20 times over the years. don't sweat it. pay for the extra stealth packaging if they offer it.

so if intercepted is a fine or is a red tape and confiscation?

listen to what habeeb said !!!!!!!

if they came to kick down the door for seeds it would be posted on this site more often than the "how do i pass the piss test?" threads.

relax brother ....... it is easy to stay off the radar, just go about your business as usual. crazier shit than a couple beans goes through the mail every day

thanks for the reassurance-I'm looking for someone to accept them at a non grow house-so no legal issue if it does get intercepted-just red tape and a hand slap?seems too easy to just keeep trying til it get thru. I know some send herbs /oils/other conc. thru and much more illegal items-just noid-thx for the info all!
 
Gypsy's Seedboutique or Seedbay is one of the safest places to order seed! Never lost an order from him or ever had anything confiscated. Best way is to print out the order form, pay with a money order, and order under an alias. Simple, secure, and you get freebies to pass on to others to get them started on their path to freedom. If you can't find what you are looking for on Gypsy's sites, then I recommend Greenman's Seedbankupdate.com. This site rates seed vendors on who is reliable and who is flim flam. (Gypsy's Seedboutique is highly rated there btw, it's how I found it!)

I received my order from the seed boutique in only 5 days, 3 business days. I placed two orders at the attitude bank; one arrived and the other was stolen by the mailman. It still took three weeks for my first order to arrive. I don't understand why most seed banks don't replace stolen, or lost parcels. Americans pay over $100 for some 10 packs of seed that costs only a few dollars to produce.

I found this link on seed bank reviews. http://www.seedbankupdate.com

if sent to my addie wouldn't an alias cause a poss. flag to fly up?-my mail person has been on this route for yrs-he knows my neighbors better than I

alpha you are overthinking this. you are right about the alias and the mail carrier that has been in the area a long time...... your package may not get to you.

FWIW i have payed for seeds with both money order and a debit card. i have done this at more than one seed bank over the years and never had problems (my bank did call to confirm that it was me making a payment on something in europe the first time i did it). i had it delivered to myself at my house every time and it always gets here. i have payed extra for stealth packaging every time but that was my own choice

i do remember the major pucker factor the first time, so i know where you are coming from. relax man ....... look at the seedbank update, find a well rated company that does what you need them do do and place your order ..........

after that the only challenge is keeping yourself from checking the mailbox 8 times a day:) tracking numbers help with that

where you live should influence your strategy
hard core anti MJ state? safe address becomes more important
really rural? a seed order could be big doings in podunk/barney fief country
for most locations, more risk in involving another in the enterprise
nothing wrong with being careful, keep reading until you hit your comfort zone

is the seedbank update here on ic-plz link if poss
Yeah I know-better to be too noid than not enuf. I live in empire state-not too against, not too for.-i think .
 
I was 1 for 3 when ordering from Gypsy. Twice I received the green tape and confiscation letter with no impact other than losing a few hundred dollars each order and my "safe address." Many swear by Gypsy's packaging, but I don't like it. The majority receive their beans, but know going into it that if you lose your package(s) and even if you can show proof of such you will not get any kind of consideration, including a freebie pack of donated beans. IMO, that's not cool! I agree that replacing an expensive order in kind is not the best business move, but Gypsy also doesn't believe in sending out a freebie or two as a goodwill gesture in cases of lost orders.

On the other hand, Gypsy has a good selection and competitive prices. You can also be assured that your order will ship. Unfortunately, that's where his service stops.

I now only choose to shop with vendors that go the extra mile if a problem occurs and can be substantiated. They're out there, but you will have to look for them.

If you have the misfortune of losing your order, be nice, don't panic, and remember it's not the end of the world. Carry on normally and hope for better luck next time or go with a vendor who has a replacement policy.

just don't think of them getting found anyways... sending out bad vibes only creates for bad things..

I've ordered about 25 times for seeds. used my debit card every time, and to my house. done it in 3 different states, and even use to order grow equipment to my house.. multiple multiple times.. never one thing ever...

it's all about keeping your mouth shut I say


if your paranoid, give up now.. just think when you start growing and have to leave your house, and you see a cop car drive by... or when they start smelling.. or when you've got a closet full of plants, you got plants drying, have jars stacked up and your smoking in your house and you get all bugged out... growing while being paranoid is far worse then growing at all.. stressing about growing makes growing no fun at all, growing is about having fun.. any stress from growing makes growing pointless, as the whole point of growing is to relax.......


your on your own now, I've laid it all on the table.. up to you now

OP don't sweat a seed purchase, especially not if it is from www.SeedBoutique.com

However NEVER have seeds shipped to your/a growing address!


On another note: You'd be surprised what else is being shipped through the mail AND gets through. ;)
