If you read the Marc Emery ‘news’ from 2005, the DEA nailed him as he was a high profile activist and they said at the time that busting him was a BIG STEP in thwarting the global Cannabis legalization movement. Keep in mind that the Republicans were in the Oval Office then, and the DEA was obviously under pressure coming from the top down.
As long as Mj remains a schedule 1 narcotic in the US, we are all outside of federal law in the 8 legal rec states and DC, and in the 29 legal medical Mj states. Last I looked, 29/50 states is a majority, and as such the federal government is no longer representing our majority interest. Nothing new there of course, Trump ‘won’ with a minority vote. So did GW Bush over Al Gore.
IMO, if you are worried about getting busted for shipping a few seeds within, into or out of the US? Methinks there are far larger targets for the DEA to go after. I mean look at the sheer scale of this place in Massachusetts. 1 MILLION square feet of Cannabis business park. A very large slow moving target here.
Now that said, if the DEA has some reason to come after you, they certainly can and will. In Colorado there have been some big DEA Mj busts, but mainly for growers there that are not licensed. Like this one back in July of this year, dubbed “Operation Toker Poker,” :
