Freshly Rated Cannabis is a term that refers to buying marijuana online. The process is a lot like shopping for a new sweater or sneakers – you visit a website, browse products, add to cart and check out.

The difference is that when you buy weed, you are buying an illegal substance that violates state and federal laws. The law classifies marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance. Mailing weed, especially across borders and from one legal jurisdiction to another, can result in serious jail time and fines.

Exploring the Benefits of Mail Order Marijuana: Convenience, Quality, and Selection

If you type “mail order weed” into Google, you will find numerous websites that illegally offer marijuana for sale and promise to ship the drugs through Canada Post. Dealers collect payment online, package and mail the drug to their customers, according to the Calgary Herald.

Canadian Post employees are encouraged to contact police if they suspect they are dealing with contraband. However, they do not have the authority to open and search packages in transit. This means that if a package is suspected of containing marijuana, it will be held until local law enforcement officers arrive to take custody.

The good news is that in Pennsylvania, you can legally purchase and receive marijuana through the mail if you are purchasing from a licensed adult-use retail dispensary. Licensed dispensaries are those who have been awarded permits by the state’s Department of Health and Human Services to operate a business that sells recreational marijuana to adults age 21 or older.
