Really dude?

You’d be amazed by how many people message me through myspace asking if we sell herb. Ummm, no. That’s illegal. (not to mention totally retarded) I have no idea what gives these people the impression that we would be selling anything other than jars or scopes. Maybe I need to include a disclaimer in all the photos - “jars come empty” - but really? Buying something that’s illegal over the internet? I tried to rationalize what these individuals might thinking…maybe I’m just really well informed and some people actually think that you can buy weed online? Needless to say I try to be cordial to these misinformed stoners. Maybe they just got into the lifestyle. Maybe they’re only 16 and don’t know a bong from a steamroller. I remember when I started smoking. I was so eager to learn everything I could about cannabis. So I try to give then a break and reply back (mostly) with a kind email pointing out that selling and possessing cannabis is illegal in the US. Maybe I need to come up with some canned response to these emails. Something helpful and productive. Something that can inform people that trying to purchase illegal substances over the internet is probably not the best idea. I guess in the end I should just have a little laugh (and pity) over these emails. There’s always going to be people that ask misinformed questions. I suppose it’s my duty as a so called “pot expert” (I do own 420 Science after all) to help these people that are in our tribe. Yes, I just called you a tribe. Get used to it.
