Legal Risks
Posted: Fri Apr 09, 2021 1:44 pm
Hey guys,
I was wondering what are the legal risks of using an MOM service if you buy more than 1 ounce of flower (legal limit)? Is there a chance of being charged with trafficking/distribution? I know this rarely happens but what on the off chance that you get a real prick cop/judge and they decide to make an example out of you? Could you do time for this? End up with a criminal record? I have looked all over the internet and cannot find anyone that has ever suffered legal consequences from using an MOM.
From what I understand, weed is not usually seized unless there is a leak/hole in the packaging. If a package is seized it goes to Scarborough, Ontario and is destroyed by RCMP and you will get a letter. However, I have also heard that they document the information of the sender and receiver before it is destroyed which means your address could be flagged and you may have trouble in the future receiving packages. Has anyone ever heard of the RCMP following up on these packages if there were large amounts in them? At what size does a package become of interest to them? 4 ounces? 8? 16? Could they subpoena your bank records and prove that you ordered it?
I know a lot of people who buy in bulk and have never had an issue. Also, would you be deemed guilty if you signed for the package? Is it better to leave the signature required option unchecked when ordering for this reason?
Cheers
