Hi, first time US buyer here; So I've been trying to get this order going for quite some time now (all I'm looking to get at first is a sample of MDMA) and when I first started looking into SR I took little to no precaution. I downloaded Tor browser, GPA, and all the jazz onto my laptop instead of a USB. Also, I created my MtGox account while on my desktop and xferred my bit coins to SR. Now I'm not sure how bad this one is but when I went to the bank for the InstaBit bank deposit to get my bit coins, they had me fill out a deposit slip which I stupidly filled out with my real info thinking they were going to ask for an ID of some sorts. Since there's only about $70 invested into this would it be a much better idea to, say, start over and do it right? $70 is still money so if anyone thinks I'll be fine ordering just 1g of MDMA from Canada to the US anyways then I will probably do it. Thanks for taking the time if anyone decides to help.

yo i screwed up too and went to bank and already xferred a bunch of money to lib reserve! fortunately i haven't got coins yet so i don't have to worry i can hopefully just xfer the money back.

I wouldn't worry. How can the feds track you to SR? Also the feds arn't interested in small fish....

agreed, but i feel like some people are uber paranoid even alot of small buyers on here so it starts making me feel that way

bitcoins are legal so you're good

Yeah, not the best way, but really, no big deal.
LE does not care about you. Really, they would be wasting vast amounts of resources just to track you down.
More importantly, even though there was an address associated with you in RL, after your first transfer there is only circumstantial evidence connecting you with further transfers. "Oh, that was $100 I spent on <insert anything you want.> I have no idea who that person was, but they told me to send the money to that address." Any lawyer at all will get you off if it comes to that. (I want to emphasize that you should not tell LE anything if they talk to you. Nothing at all. Period. The only way you will get convicted of anything is if you talk to the police.)
There is nothing special about your SR address; there is no way to tell that it is associated with SR. (At least a priori.) However, if you are still feeling paranoid, just transfer your funds out of your SR address to a laundry like TorWallet. (No idea if they are trustworthy. I've sent a few hundred through them with no problem though.) Then back to SR.
Note: this is advice for a small-time end-user. Vendors should be a bit more paranoid.

Thanks so much for the advice, you've given me the courage to go through with it. Peace and pot to all..

The amount you have ordered will more than likely be sent as letter mail and has a very high chance of making it to you, but in the event that it doesn't make it to you, and ends up in somebody Else's hands, nothing will happen, probably just be destroyed. But even if something does come from it and you get a knock on the door, just deny it, anyone, can send anyone, anything in the mail. I often send out grams of mdma to random addresses <_<
