I've used the darknet a bunch but never had stuff sent to Russia, and now I'm considering ordering some weed (small amount for personal use, like 5 grams) from Agora and shipping it there.
I'm assuming it's riskier for the recipient than somewhere like the US and that plausible deniablility wouldn't really get you anywhere. On other other hand maybe Russian postal service doesn't have their shit together and no one cares.
Any thoughts?
Don't to this. They open a lot of foreign packages at customs and most likely will open yours. Felony starts after 6 grams of weed in Russia but in reality the police could sneak in one more gram into your case and then will racket you. Also very likely you will be beaten to near death by the police.
Can you read russian? Go to RAMP, you can buy there or use one of the instant marketplaces where you transfer money to some bitcoin address and get the address and the description where the package is hidden. They have it for most major cities.
