Sending seeds from legal state to legal state

I'm hoping forum members can chime in on this: I am wondering would USPS confiscate seeds sent from a legal state to another legal state? I ask because I was expecting a bunch of F1s and F2s from someone, yet they never arrived.

I've speculated that a neighbor could have snatched them, or even the mailman. Driving me a bit insane not knowing what happened.

Please feel free to post here.

Seed were sent from Colorado to Massachusetts.

Alright peace.

The USPS falls under federal jurisdiction, and follow federal law. Since cannabis is still illegal at the federal level, sending anything cannabis through USPS is illegal. Whether they confiscate or attempt to prosecute, I have no idea.

By the looks of things, the 2018 Farm Bill has allowed hemp producers to ship hemp products with a 0.03% or less THC content (including seeds) via the mail, but it requires a special business license to do so.

Thanks for that. Still wondering how they would know that seeds were in the package/envelope?

Seeds and any other parts of the Cannabis plant that do not contain 0.3% THC or more are considered hemp by the US federal government and not covered by the controlled substances act anymore.

How did they package them? First class letters go through high speed rollers and sorting equipment and if they have anything sharp or irregularly shaped, they can rip open and be damaged.

Damaged letters may not be processed further and end up as a dead letter.

In my experience you get a phone call from the postal inspector and asked something like"your letter smells like weed,it is under our weight guideline for prosecution.Did you mail your homie a joint? "
I said "no it is seeds,he said no,no,no you cannot do these things. "
Then he thanked me for not making him get a warrant to open and destroy the package.
I thanked him for not getting said warrant and that was that.
The seeds,pollen and kieff(I fibbed a bit on the contents)never did get delivered.
I was placed on a watch list and my outgoing mail is monitored.
That was 2013 on April fools day.
