UK starting to crack down on Mail-order dealers
What are your thoughts on this?

I've seen the supposedly "huge" crack down on the imports from Thailand, Iraq, etc. Do you think sites like LB will start to dwindle in the face of this? Or do you think this will only push it into a more popular space? Do you think it'll only affect those that are buying in large quantities?

I know they're talking about going after in-house growers next but I don't see that happening for many years (However hypocritical it is considering we have a huge legal production of cannabis for export).

Its possible they do something but I dont see it worth the time or money when reality is we have legal weed in the uk on private medical prescription so it is only a matter of time before full legalisation and no politician is going to go against weed with modern attitudes so positive about it. It's be political disaster. 35% of adults in the UK supposedly use it recreationally or medically so it'd be disaster for government and the police. As for regulating royal mail its a private company now so its much more complicated than it used to be. I reckon it would simply cause more outrage, cost and problems than just leaving us to it.

It’s just not worth it for personal use by post, but sure they’ll continue to go after volume…

If they want to police domestic postal services it will cost millions upon millions in operational costs and we (the UK) just can’t afford it on a nationwide scale. It is easier and more cost effective to catch international imports due to the airports already being equipped to deal with catching restricted items.

Yeah and Royal Mail is privatley owned now isnt it? So if they only target RM I can imagine the owner will probably launch legal action to prevent losing business. Or are they going to spend the literal billions it would cost to investigate every single delivery and courier service?

Ironically it seems capitalism comes to our rescue lol

And while every bobby in the land is rifling through Aunt Janice's birthday cards whos stopping the all time high number of knife crimes? The predators? Whos going to stop Man City from cheating?

To be honest im not sure how much will there actually is to dump money onto the war on drugs.
Its certainly not an election winning move in the current polictical climate, nore will it offer much return on investment.

Id imagine as usual if anything theyd do an "operation" draw alot of attention to it with ideall a few high profile busts" then move onto a different part of the black market again.

They know alot of people smoke weed, personally i believe these days its more about ensuring theres enough pressure on people that they less inclined to pickup the habit / people continue in general to be discreet.

Its luck of the draw really i suppose.
But times are slowly changing it may not be legal but it does feel like they dont really care unless they see you as creating a problem.

Obviously if someone gets hurt off a product on here it would obviously paint a target on the site as it would anywhere.

More likely to draw the ire of the taxman than the police id of thought xD

A quick search finds the only recent mention of a "crack down on mail order [drug] dealers", is a Home Office press release (25 Apr) in relation to Thailand.

No mention of Iraq, which is a hub for amphetamines, not weed.

They claim to have reduced busts from 15 tonnes to 1.5, over the first 3 months of this year. Meanwhile, overall seizures were up 52% to 119 tonnes, between Apr 23 and May 24.

NB This is what they find, not what gets through.

I don't know, but I doubt Thai weed is more than 30% of what's sold on here (guessing 30/30/30 domestic/US&CAN/ROW).

I can't find anything about "going after in-house growers".

Wowee wasn't expecting the response that this has generated! Thank-you all for the insightful discussion.

I have to say I do generally agree with everyone, the local dealers and RM will be a much harder gamble for any party to tackle (if they would even bother). It has been discussed in the Houses of Parliament when they get asked about certain criteria though the dates and specific questions are lost to my memory at present.

Like Polly, I think general consumers will be fine as long as you're not ordering multiple grands or tens of grands worth of stock.

Thailand was the main focus of this years crackdown, whereas last year around November 2024, they published an article detailing the cracking down on smuggling gangs of all nature in partnership with Iraq. This would include people smuggling, drugs etc. From the gov.uk website on this "So far this year, Border Force have also made over 18,000 individual seizures of herbal cannabis, equalling 41 tonnes." Though this likely includes all imports and not just Iraq

Just an interesting topic for me with the current climate, definitely something to keep an eye on as time goes

I feel like the gov allow LB running legally. It is a safest way for trading rather than do that on street . LB long life
