Dulles CBP Weed Seizures Crush Brits 420 Day Kush
- 2 years ago
There were likely a lot of upset #Brits who were unable to properly partake in the #420 Day observance after #US #Customs and Border Protection officers intercepted a crazy amount of #London-bound wacky #weed at #Washington Dulles International #Airport.
While conducting routine outbound mail inspections, #CBP officers seized 62 parcels of #marijuana on that weighed nearly 99 combined pounds and seized another 38 parcels on that #Sunday that collectively weighed a little more than 51 #pounds. All 100 parcels and 150 pounds were destined to London.
Residents across #California were the busiest bud shippers. CBP officers intercepted 80 parcels of Golden State ganja, 15 parcels of Las #Vegas reefer, and five parcels of sinsemilla from #Seattle. Though some states have taken measures to decriminalize the possession of personal use amounts of marijuana, bulk smuggling remains illegal. Additionally, marijuana possession and #distribution of any amount violates federal law. “The internet has essentially created a singular #marketplace where #consumers can buy anything from anywhere across the globe; however, Customs and Border Protection reminds consumers and vendors that those transactions and commodities must still comply with applicable U.S. laws,” said Daniel #Escobedo, Area Port Director for CBP’s Area Port of Washington, #DC
