Thanks for the warning, I guess...however, how does buying drugs not fall into the category of the "marketing of drugs"? Don't think I'm a douche who only likes to argue by me bringing this up, just know that I am and always will be. Sorry for the slip though...

My question: If drugs are bought in the woods and the person selling them is spoken of in the 3rd person, does this still count as participation in the marketing of drugs?

I mean, in order for there to be a buyer there must be a seller, correct?

Doesn't look like it has anything to do with buying, does it?

Yes, but what has that got to do with the issue at hand?

You can talk about buying marijuana, you just can't talk about selling. There's a very find legal line that the forum skirts. When the forum skirts along the lines of "medical use," "recreational use," and "borderline illegal," the last thing you want to have being talked about is "felony drug deals." The owner of the forum does live in the USA, I believe (or Canada... I forget).

Buzzby, buying has much to due with marketing...the buyers are the "marketees". People in this post also spoke openly of their relationships with their dealers...and that's why I figured it was alright to speak openly of my relationship with myself (but not in the masturbatory sense...hopefully that is a given though).

This infraction will not happen again unless I have a brain fart, but for the record, I am always more than willing to donate to a legal defense fund for Marijuana.com if the need ever arises...

Trocisp

Are you willing to pay the owner for his time and effort and possibly months of prolonged legal battles? How much could you possibly donate to make it worth all that effort?

Well, by donating would hope I to not be the only one in that smoker's circle, Trocisp.

But to answer your question, yes, I am willing to donate time and money (money being the more valuable of the two in this case) to what would definitely be months and months of legal battles (it would be best to assume the worst). I probably could donate a generous sum of money (by my standards) that would end up equally roughly 1/10th of 1% of the total legal costs...and possibly more if I step in front of a UPS truck "by accident".

Trocisp

Great. We'll be party to another of your felonies.

I wonder, would anyone with common sense post this online if they were truly doing this?

Trocisp, that comment was in jest...perhaps an lack of "haha" or "lol" threw you off, but there was no need to negatively rep me for it. Surely my attempt at humor was not reprehensible enough to warrant that response...

I wanna step in here with some of my opinions.......

Tro....

There is no "double standard" as far as the police are concerned. A reverse sting is common in big cities. That is where the police actually sell drugs to users. We recently had a case where the "product" was sold by the police and bought back by a different police agency. The seller was busted for both deals. In my opinion, and apparently the law's too, both parties are equally guilty, even though there is no law against participation in a drug felony. It is against the law, though, to posses it......

In my opinion, any discussion of weighing is a "drug deal" conversation....Any discussion of "Did I get screwed" is a drug deal conversation.

There is a very fine line that we try to dance here. Sometimes we are succesful and sometimes not. I try to think of the interpretation of the rule here as pro-active. It gives us a way to use our own feelings to say whether a post is directly related to "drug dealing" or if it is walking that fine line......

Jack....

I think it has a lot to do with first person. Like I said before, the law has no problem locking up buyers and sellers, so we need to skirt that line. For us to say to a non-smoker that is undecided about herb that buying isn't as bad as selling is ludicrous. You can't do one without the other! I don't think we need to sponsor someone, though, by telling them the in's and out's of the biz.......

"Weights and Prices", "Do You Always Weigh", "Did I Get Ripped Off", these are all threads that you could say deal with "dealing", but we must allow some of these to keep from stifling the flow of "useful" information.

Let's be real honest....We all have or would sell a joint to a friend in their hour of need, right? That would be one of those questions that don't need an answer.......

I have never weighed but I was just ripped off by my best friend's boyfriend and am considering it. I've stopped buying from him but you can't trust anyone these days.He knows I haven't been smoking for very long so I think he took that as me being a dumbass. If any of you guys would've caught eye of this eighth, you would've realized it was pure stupidity and un-coolness on his part. It was evident that it was only a dub but he swore on everything that it was weighed in correctly as an eighth. Needless to say, thanks to him, it's made me realize you can't really trust anyone these days. I should invest in a small scale of somesort now.
