I don't know if there is any Irish on here but if there is you probably know by now that there is a huge crackdown on the sale of drugs online especially from Canada and Holland. There is some speculation on what caused this but we believe that this is due to a report by the ncadd about the sale of "HEADSHOP" drugs online. The majority of packages coming from Canada have been seized , does anyone know if this is just a problem with Canadian suppliers or with USA and EU suppliers aswell? I have been using the same Canadian suppler for about 3 years now for big business and this has put me out of a job!! does anyone have anymore information on this ?

quote from the irishtimes
************To date in 2011, the Customs service has made 23 seizures of psychoactive substances and 35 detentions of suspect materials where products are being analysed, according to a Revenue spokesman.***********
thats a pittyful statistic....thats all they have seized in 6 months???????????thats like 1 seizure every 4 days.... i think you're fine mate...i wonder why they having a panick attack over such a pittance,i reckon if you put all the drugs together it wouldn't even match a standard size home grown potato
according to this news article(could only find this one dated in 2009), 'an post' delivers 900million pieces of mail a year(3.5 million per day),thats a crazy amount for such a small country..would never have thought that much...i reckon thats why they are so slack with seizing international goods is cause they have there hands full to the top.

I have alot more information than just this article. My supplier and he has told me than none of his packages made it through
Irish customs which resulted in at least 1 raid by controlled delivery(I know the guy who got raided). i have also checked some MOM forums very few packs are making through they are checking everything. This is a real problem i am not just paranoid

This happens every year during the summertime and usually goes away after a month or two. Just like probably around X-mas time packs going across the water are going to take a lot longer than people are used to.
