Title: Buying Drug Paraphernalia with CC Online...Stupid?
Post by: slimcharles on December 06, 2012, 08:25 pm
Perhaps this question might sound ungodly paranoid but would it be incredibly stupid (or just not recommended) for a SR user to buy drug paraphernalia (bong, stash jar, paper, vaporizer, etc) online for delivery to their home?

Of course, the purchase itself would be legal but could this come back to possibly bite me later on?

I already feel like an ass posing this question at all.

Never a dumb question. Personally, I'd order without hesitation. Have you thought of just going to your local smartshop and buing a piece in person? I know it is usually 2x as expensive though.

If your mail with drugs get stopped there may be an investigation where they look at your bank statement.  Im not sure how much is needed before they look at it anyway, but I was asked by the police to give this up, I denied though.
Also, altho it sounds nice and most think its true, youre not really 'innocent until otherwise proven', atleast not where I am (in Scandinavia), its more like the opposite. If it seems likely enough that youre guilty, even with no solid evidence, you get prosecuted for it. I'd think drug paraphernalia may be such a trigger in some cases.. especcialy if youre otherwise clean and have no connection to drugs.
Better buy in person with cash, or maybe some untraceable shipment from SR you could deny knowledge of anyway, even tho the chanse of it being a problem is prolly very small..

I agree, cash purchase would be ideal. However, if they (the fuzz) are  looking a financial records, the extra paraphenalia charge is the least of my worries.

Laws are different place to place but, its only drug paraphanalia after its been used.

Thanks so much for the responses.  I thought I was losing my mind for even hesitating about the purchase.

I guess I'll try harder to find it locally.

Thanks, again!

I think it's fine. It's not like you're buying used stuff right? I mean you can always just say it's for tobacco.
