| This is why we need to find better sponsors. Sponsors that want weed to be legal. If weed is legal, no one would buy their shitty fake grass and they'd be out of business unless they started selling real weed like every other person in the country would start doing... Anyways "legal herb" is fake stuff and not weed at all. the ywill say it gets you high because they'll say anything to make money.

Legal Bud Combo Deals - Herbal Smoke Shop Go ahead, I'll wait. ![]() I can understand if somebody is naive enough to think the herbs are a substitute for (and has the same effects as) cannabis, that they would get their panties in a bunch and bad mouth the company. I personally would be very quiet from embarrassment myself. ![]() If you use the herbs for other reasons than "gee, I'd like to get high without breaking the law...I know! I'll buy these legal buds and catch a buzz just like smoking weed!", for instance to help quit smoking cigs, then amazingly....They aren't such a "rip off". Smoking herbs has been around for thousands of years, just as smoking cannabis has. Interestingly, Erowid has a write up about Wild Dagga (an herb sold by our sponsor) that shows there are effects to some herbs. Whether that effect is a mood enhancer or aphrodisiac or whatever. Bottom line is the legal herbs aren't the same as cannabis. But that doesn't make them useless, either. ![]()

| Ok plains, you've successfully defended them. Yet you and I both know their main goal is to trick kids that read High Times into thinking they can buy weed out of the magazine. Kids have no idea they'd be better off smoking lawn clippings from their front lawn instead of that "herb" that god knows what kinda of chemicals and other addictive shit has been sprayed on them to get you to come back for more, just like cigarettes. and yes wild dagga and drinks like yerba mate do work well yet they're nowhere near to cannabis and my MAIN point was that these companies do not wish to further the legalization movement. If weed is legal who would buy their product? Nobody. |

| Not only do I not presume to claim any understanding on what you know, I don't claim to have any insight on what their "main goal" is. I would hazard a guess that making a profit is in the top 5, though. ![]() If I were running this particular business that advertises with us, I would have different advertising for different demographics. At a potsite it would be different than say at a stop smoking cigs site where I would advertise it as a substitute for tobacco. An organic site, the natural aspects and history of herbs...Haven't really obsessed enough about it to check out their advertising elsewhere, so can't say for sure this is what they do though. ![]() Quote:
Money is needed to pay for the site to be up and running. This particular company is willing to exchange money for advertising their wares. Seems to me they are supporting legalization right there. ![]() They are helping to make possible a venue for individuals (whether it is here, cannabis.com, high times or where ever) to interact with other individuals concerning cannabis, the war on drugs, etc. I understand you disagree. ![]() Again, I wouldn't presume to speak for everybody that smokes herbs. I bet there are folks that do it for other reasons than to try to get "high". Just as there are cannabis smokers that don't smoke cannabis for the "high". Big world out there. Lots of unique individuals. ![]() Last edited by Plainsman1963 : 10-10-2007 at 06:44 PM. | |

| I have to shamefully admit I have tried this. The curiosity was too much so I purchased some. The product I bought (Hawaiian Gold Bud) kind of looked like marijuana. It most certainly did NOT smell or taste like it. Needles to say, it didn't do for my head what I wanted it to. Bottom line, while it might LOOK like some tasty bud, it most definatly is not anywhere close to the real thing. |

| It's not Marijuana. Legal bud is... Legal bud. If it was like Marijuana, do you think any of us would be risking our lively hoods and lives for Marijuana when there was a perfectly legal alternative? Yes, it gets you high. No it's not like marijuana. |

| I'm just curious if anybody has picked this up from local smoke shops or ordered some online? If so what did you guys think? A buddy of mine from back home said he ordered some and was amazed with the results. So I decided to drop a few bucks and give it a try. I do have to say that I am impressed myself. I also ordered this stuff called Salvia Divinorum. That stuff is an absolute trip. I've never tripped that hard in my life. It was sorta exciting...haha...was needing something to spice the day up. It's crazy to me considering all this stuff is completely legal. Just some herbs mixed up to create different effects. It's pretty cool. If you haven't tried this stuff and are interested. Check this site out, they are very professional and I received my order insanely quick. They also have alot of other interesting exotic stuff on the site. Lemme know what you guys think. herbalaffiliateprogram.com/herbalsmokeshop/aff_manager/newaff/redirect.cfm/i/2007104788/LinkID/345/CampaignID/13407 [mod note - Do not post commercial links.

| Yeah, it sounds good.. but it's not weed. I haven't personally tried any, but I've done some reading online, and read that they were shit. To me they seem overpriced and like a total rip off . |
