[GeneralQuestions] Legal products for sale on DNMs?

Obviously most drugs are legal somewhere in the world. But if a vendor is offering a product for sale which is legal in his jurisdiction and in most jurisdictions, is he safe from the tentacles of LE?

Or will they grab him and cage him given half the chance, simply for being involved with a DNM, like samesamebutdifferent, who IIRC was simply a forum mod?

These included herbal highs, flavored rolling papers, pipes, and general drugs paraphernalia. He also sold cannabis seeds, which are legal in the UK as long as they are unfertilised. - full Vice article here

Pete was subsequently released and attempted to sue the FBI to reclaim nearly 100 BTC of his that was seized when SR was, but not surprisingly that seems to have gone nowhere.
