Yeah that's just not a risk I'm willing to take. Your just as likely to get them intercepted from me as you are through a retailer. The only difference is the companies operate in places where the industry is legal and don't really have to worry much about being prosecuted by our federal government. There's a lot of affordable seeds out there and I have never had a problem ordering from all the dozen or so sites I've used. Check out sanniesshop.com and I'm sure you'll be satisfied w/ their product, prices and especially their service.
