Legal Question in Product Liability in District of Columbia

Marijuana in the Mail

Hi,

I was just wondering what would happen if customs (or some other equivalent organization) found and therefore confiscated a package with said illicit material in it. If my name was who it was addressed to, would I be liable? What if it was shipped to another name, but my address?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Dan

If such an event were to occur, you could quickly become what law enforcement often refers to as a person of interest, then, perhaps, a suspect, and, after that, possibly, even a person indicted.

Re: Marijuana in the Mail

you would get caught and prosecuted for possession and probably intent to sell; use of the mail would make it a Federal crime.
