Why should you not order to your parents house?

This is a genuine question. I actually want to know why this is considered murder on this sub, especially when some widely agreed quotes from here are stuff like 'hardly anyone gets caught' 'ordering online is really safe' etc.

Also, the consensus seems to be that if your if you select vendors with good stealth packages won't be caught, if it's personal amounts all you'll get is a love letter and IF you get anything more, if your opsec is on point and you have a clean house it's unlikely anything will happen. Not to mention, it's your name on the package and the consequences are on you (especially if you're over 18).

So my questions are - why is it so bad to order small, personal amounts of drugs to your parents home, in your name, assuming you're over 18? What consequences actually could there be for them? And lastly - even if you don't order, would you equally condemn keeping drugs in your parents house?

This really should be a no brainer answer. Yes the chances of getting caught for certain items is low. Yes for small orders a love letter is gonna be the worst case if it gets intercepted. Yes as long as you order from good vendors the package won't even be distinguishable from normal mail.

The fact still remains... It's your parents house. They're allowing you to live there (if you're over 18) and you shouldn't be performing felony activities with their address on the line. People are still going to do it, of course, because they aren't able to live on their own yet.

All I'm saying is that it's not a great idea and I would never recommend someone doing it if they still live at home. They can make their own decisions but I'm not gonna say "yeah it's totally fine to order to your parents." There can always be that ONE time where things go really badly.

Because it's rude to order illegal drugs to someone else's house without their permission whether you get caught or not. This is my opinion, anyways. And to answer your last question I never kept my drugs in my parent's house, always somewhere else like my car or hidden in the woods.

Its a question of moral responsibility I suppose. Its also considered bad form on this sub to order to others' homes without their knowledge. You put them at risk. Assuming you are in the US, drug laws are very punitive here. I guess what comes to mind is civil asset forfeiture. There are horror stories regarding this. While its obviously not going to happen all the time, it has happened. There was a story a few months ago about a guy and drugs (I can't remember the details at the moment, I think they accused him of dealing, although he claimed it was personal use) and the parents home was seized. They are fighting to get it back, but you get the problem.

I guess the bottom line is not to involve innocent people in your activities. Its disrespectful. It puts them at risk. At a minimum, LE can destroy their home if they decide to execute a search warrant.

even if you don't order, would you equally condemn keeping drugs in your parents house?

Good question. I think this is a bit more acceptable. But it depends. If you are holding felony amounts, then its not right. I guess if its a small stash, it might be okay. Bottom line, ideally you have your own place. Obviously keeping drugs in your parents home still puts them at risk. The DNMs add another element though - namely using the postal service which is federal. Keeping smaller amounts is generally not federal and depending on the substance, may be a different "level" of crime.

Its personal responsibility essentially. Also, if your folks do come across a pack of yours, it puts them in a bad position. Some parents have been known to involve LE. We obviously don't know about the others that do go unreported. But regardless, puts them in a bad position should they find it.

Lol I used to order to my parents house but they knew and were throwing in too so I don't think my case really applies to this convo

I used to order to my parents house when I lived with them.

The issue is while I do agree it's generally not too sketchy ordering online, the potential consequences are much more severe. So by ordering to your parents house, yes its unlikely, but you're potentially putting them in danger if the house gets raided or anything like that.

You run the additional risk of your parents noticing a package and opening it and calling the police. Not every parent-child relationship is the same, but there recently was a thread where the vendor put a username instead of a name on the address label and the customers parents opened it and called the cops.

In addition to possible legal trouble, you've now involved your parents which can cause long term damage to your relationship with your parents. I know people who never talked to a parent again after they got arrested, it happens.

I don't know your relationship with your parents, but if you're over 18, consider getting a PO box.

I did it until I was 21 and moved out of the house. Personal amounts with solid OPSEC. Still felt like a scumbag man. They always wondered why I got "packages from California" all the time.

What are your parents stance on drug use? If they are okay with it then do as you do. Be safe. Know that if something does happen it is all on you but most importantly respect your parents.

Worst case, your shipment gets intercepted. You get a CD. Your parents anwser the door and are met with DEA agents and guns. Their house is searched, their electronics, computers, phones ect are siezed.

It's also possible LE can seize their house, making you homeless.

And that's just the troubles from LE. There are also the possibilities something goes funky with the deal and a vendor wants to take some sort of revenge. Now he has your parents address to do who knows what with.

These are all the risks of order from DNM in general. And if you want to take those risks and order thats fine, but by ordering to your parents home you're also putting those risks on your parents. That's not a very nice thing to do to the people who raised you.

If you want to take the risks, that's your call, but don't expose others to it.

If you were my kid and you order fucking internet drugs to my house, I'd beat your ass silly. I doubt I'm alone in that feeling, either.
