If the person's whose name is on the package never receives it, then there are no repercussions. If the person receives it, then there is a possibility of a charge of possession of the contents. If they open the package, there is no question about possession.
When such packages go through the mail or other delivery services, many times law enforcement officials will allow the delivery and then immediately execute a search warrant to see if the package has been opened.
I would NEVER allow someone to use my name.
