drugs dogs can hit on shrooms,
that is a fact.
of course not every dog is trained to hunt drugs,
but the post office does have access to dogs
that can do it.

"Dogs can sense odors at concentrations nearly 100 million times lower than humans can. They can detect one drop of blood in five quarts of water! Sniffing the bare sidewalk may seem crazy, but it yields a wealth of information to your dog, whether it's the scent of the poodle next door or a whiff of the bacon sandwich someone dropped last week."

Dogs practically see their smelly world one molecule at a time. Real progress is being made in making hybrid integrated circuits that will be able to detect smells at the one molecule level of sensitivity. This will make is possible for a car to be passively sniffed while a cop is shaking you down for a traffic violation.

They can smell absolutely anything their trained to, They can smell cancer cells!!! If they can smell a single cell of cancer, I think they could even smell spores!! Crazyy

Truffle dogs are trained by feeding them truffles as puppies. I don't think that will work for magic though.

well bro, Im not sure if all of them are. but about 4 years ago, I went to a festival, and one of the dudes I know that was bringing a couple lbs of mushies, got stopped, dogs sniffed his shit, found his shrooms and his bud, both in different parts of the car, So Id have to say, that most likely they are trained to smell them.

Way Way stupider than using USPS. Domestic mail order operations who distribute steroids and pharmaceuticals almost always use USPS, so do their foreign counterparts. US mail is protected (at least somewhat) by your civil rights. Your mail can only be opened by a post master, which is usually not goona happen. Still, it is difficut to let things into the hands of others, especially when they work for big brother.

damn that sucks for your friend. maybe the pot smell got on the shrooms or if he handled the weed then the shrooms the scent could have crossed over. did he get much time for a couple of lbs thats a big bust for mushies

i was watching something on discovery and it said that the dogs are trained to smell certain things.. but are also "encouraged" to hit on anything that is "out of the ordinary", such as the smell of large amounts of coffee or soap. Why a dog couldn't distinguish shrooms from mushrooms you get at the store i don't understand.. b/c i sure can, and my nose isn't anywhere near as good as a dogs.

Prolly wouldnt have been so bad if he hadnt had the shroomie bagged up in 1/8 . 1/4's and Oz's. Along with the herb bagged up in halfs and O's. What a dumbass eh?

Ohh, heres a cool lil story for yas~~~ 2 years ago at a woodstock reunion festival, (drum circles) I had picked up about 40 grams of some cubes. On the way home I got stopped for a tail light out and I was still a little off in the head. I had like 5 ppl and a dog with me. dickhead in the back seat ( only one with a pipe not hidden) decided he wanted to hide it while I was talkin to the cop (real slick right) , lawdog saw and got sketched , make a long story short........ He searched us because of dickhead in the back, took his pipe, a bong, while he was finding this he asked if I had anything he was gon find, so I said yeah, I got a chillum and about 4 grams of herb. He tells me to get it, get this.... so I open my backpack, start digging for my pouch containing chillum and herb, and shit, wouldnt you know; theres the frikkin shrooms sittin right under a pair of socks, There was no hiding it, and the cop says, " Ohh, nice mushrooms!" , "shit man, wtf am I gonna do?" All I could think of was, "yeah those are my shitakes, Im a vegetarian" he asked for waht and I said to make soup for everyone at the festival, good health food, he says, ohh very nice. Takes my weed, pipe, the other paraphenalia, and sure shit, we left there and I still had all my friggin mushrooms!!!!!!!!!!! fuggin crazy man. Bless, Ras
