Why are online retailers allowed to ship red yeast rice to every state in the U.S., except California?
95482
Product contains a chemical known by the state of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Red Yeast Rice and Horny Goat Weed cannot be shipped to California for similar reasons as outlined under Proposition 65. Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, was enacted as a ballot initiative in November 1986. The Proposition was intended by its authors to protect California citizens and the State's drinking water sources from chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and to inform citizens about exposures to such chemicals. \nProposition 65 requires the Governor to publish, at least annually, a list of chemicals known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.

Yes, you can purchase stuff online in the states.  LSD and Shrooms are schedule 1 drugs, so if you find them online, don't order.  Ordering a schedule 1 drug = hardtime.  \nHowever chemicals like synthetic triptamines are available, although you are only supposed to be using them for scientific research.  There have been no studies as to the long term side-effects, and they are perceived to be dangerous.\nOne can find schedule 1 drugs online, the safest place to look would be in the underground, or internet blackmarket.\nCraigslist maybe.

Well I'm from the peoples republic of California and we don't enjoy such right to carry laws here...so I have a hard time relating.  I don't understand why a state like Texas tolerates an illegal resident period....I would think a good ole boy state like Texas would be rounding up anyone without a green card and shipping them south....

1. Have you posted an appropriate policy? Not having a Web site privacy policy can raise red flags. You may be subject to specific laws, including broadly interpreted state consumer protection statutes, in the United States or elsewhere, that require you to provide such notice.\n\nThe Online Privacy Protection Act of 2003, effective July 1, 2004, made California the first state to expressly require those who collect "personally identifiable information" (such as name, address, e- mail address, phone number) from California residents through a commercial Web site to post a privacy policy, including types of information collected, third-party sharing, processes for reviewing collected data and notifying users of material policy changes as well as the policy’s effective date. The act requires "conspicuous posting" and provides guidelines for location, font treatment and word content.\n\nThe new law is expected to have far-reaching implications, as many Web sites do not know Californians from other residents, or do not want to treat California visitors differently from other visitors. Because California often influences other states’ privacy legislation, it may only be a matter of time before similar laws emerge elsewhere.\n\nCustomers, government enforcers, consumer advocates and reporters will assume the worst if no policy is posted, even where no law requires it. Yet the days of including a few lines about privacy issues in a legal notice are long gone. Companies need a stand-alone policy that covers:\n\n    *\n      who is collecting information;\n    *\n      what and how is information collected;\n    *\n      how is information used and disclosed;\n    *\n      access and other data subject rights;\n    *\n      security measures;\n    *\n      effective date and how policy changes will be handled;\n    *\n      enforcement; and\n    *\n      contact information.\n\nPlace a conspicuous link to the policy on your home page (not buried in a tiny font amid other links at the bottom of the page) and on each page where information is first collected. Yet, do not post a policy merely to ensure that the site has one. Having a policy that does not reflect your site’s actual practices can be worse than having no policy at all (see No. 10 below).\n\n2. Have you appropriately limited the scope of your policy? In racing to post a privacy policy, some companies fail to clearly limit its scope, thereby unleashing a Pandora’s box of problems. For example, if the policy is not limited to Web site information practices, many (including the FTC, as a December 2001 announcement made clear) will assume that the policy governs all corporate information practices — whether online or offline, customer or employee — imposing compliance obligations that the company is ill-equipped to handle.\n\nLikewise, not limiting the scope of the Web site and corresponding privacy policy to U.S. residents might lead to unwanted assertion of jurisdiction by a foreign data-protection official whose local laws are more restrictive. Some sites also err when defining the age of the target audience, thereby creating potential minefields related to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) (see No. 7 below).\n\nBeyond this, however, it is important to distinguish when the policy applies (to www.company.com) and when it does not (to other sites to which you link, even if the sites belong to affiliates) because you do not want to be held accountable for another site’s practices. To limit confusion, include a linking disclaimer in the privacy policy and, as appropriate, at the point of linking. Avoid "framing" (putting your border around a third-party site) when linking; the visitor may not realize he is leaving your site, and framing could raise other problems.\n\n3. Are you using third parties to run banner ads or collect information, or are you sharing information with third parties? You may be judged by the com

In the US, most manufacturing firms are strictly regulated by law and do not have much choice where they are placed.  The trend in all manufacturing is toward decentralization.  This is due to shipping costs, and also to security concerns.\n\nIt is simply safer and cheaper to be scattered near the supplier, and user.

Having worked in a strict environment, the store I worked, had a special stock rack in storage.  When there were enough of a similar item, it was repackaged and sent back to the manufacturer, for either a replacement or a refund.  That is why you see a lot of RA #'s (Return Authorization Numbers) on a lot of packages shipped through UPS and Federal Express.  No store that has good ethics will resell a product, that is even in suspect condition, they will always send it back....

If delivered outside of CA, probably not. If in CA, yes if the product(s) are not exempt. You can read more by following the link below

The price of most things is more expensive in Alaska, namely because it costs so much to get things shipped there.  For the Lower 48, the interstate highway system creates an economy of scale transportation network that makes shipping cheaper, which is not the case in Alaska.  If you want further proof, the next time you watch a commercial for a fast-food restraunt and they say something like "Buy 2 Mega Burgers for 99 Cents" watch the screen closely and you'll see that it says "Prices higher in Alaska and Hawaii" on the screen in little letters towards the bottom.

China once had a strict policy of self sufficiency in terms of consuming grain grown domestically vs. importing from outside sources.  \n\nTrade of grain happens throughout the world and is imported/daily on may exchanges (i.e. Chicago Board of Trade CBOT).  The only limitations are from organizations such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) limiting and/or regulating world trade, agreements between certain countries (i.e. NAFTA agreement), or government agencies that have strict quality control guidelines for foodstuff (i.e. Food and Drug Administration FDA).

that's called free enterprise and capitalism at its finest. alcohol, tobacco, and firearms are 3 things you could get busted for selling across state lines because of the tax and registration implications.

Not everyone is very good at using a search engine. It does take a little bit of familiarity and skill to find what you're looking for. I've seen people type into a search engine something like: "Where can I find plant food in New Jersey?" .... obviously not a good search. You and I know that '"plant food" "new jersey" store' would be a much better search.  Using google is easy to you and I and many other people but consider this: Think about the intelligence of the average person you know. Consider how dumb they are, then realise that half the people in the world are dumber than that.
