The situation becomes even more complicated when they discover that the recipient of the package has a reputation for drugs. What would you do in this situation?

Refusing to smuggle a ‘sensitive’ package for a friend
When a friend asked a Reddit user to smuggle a ‘sensitive’ package internationally, they refused to do so without checking. Despite trusting their friend, the user asked to open the package, but their friend became offended and started yelling at them. Later, the friend texted the user, calling them selfish and saying they didn’t want to talk anymore. The user is worried about being responsible for any illegal content in the package, especially since their friend cultivates weed and stores it in spice jars. The person the package was supposed to be delivered to also has a reputation involving drugs. While the user feels bad about the situation, they don’t want to take any unneeded risks. The mutual friend later found the box that was supposed to be shipped in the trash in front of their house, so the package won’t be shipped anymore. The user is hoping the package only contained weed and not anything more dangerous. Stay tuned for updates on whether the friend and user reconcile and if there are any further developments in the package mystery.
