I don’t see how he was “huffin n puffin” at all… perhaps you were triggered by something he said. If long winded replies bother you, simply skip over them. We all have different levels of paranoia, different backgrounds, i.e. we are all diverse.
Re: Domestic shipments:
Depending on the area, mail gets stolen all the time. My wifes parents live in a city where crime is rampant, they get their mail stolen all the time and the postal service refuses to do a damn thing about it. They resorted to getting a camera system with one camera specifically pointed at the mailbox, have turned in footage to the local authorities, and yet, still nothing is done to prevent this. I’m sorry but you can’t make a blanket statement like
Your area may have perfect delivery and no mail thefts, USPS must be a well oiled machine where you are, but in many areas it would be easier to pull teeth than have a package arrive in a safe and timely manner. Look at @MadScientist and the months delay he has to go through to get stuff out, there’s always a holdup or loss to consider for him.
The other thing, everyone has opinions, they may not apply to everyone, but when someone shares, who are we to call them out simply for sharing. A lot of old timers have lived through the dark era of growing, they have every right to be cautious and paranoid.
In no way am I trying to ruffle your feathers, just sharing my opinion lol. The fact remains that federally sending cannabis seeds is still illegal in the USA because they contain “trace amounts of THC” So, perceived safety is up to the individual.
