Some yuppie gets paid to read /r/darknetmarkets and write articles on threads. Vice is trash.

I'm just gonna put this out there but I ALSO HAVE NO PROBLEM ACCEPTING MONEY FROM DARK WEB DRUG DEALERS


[18 Points] None:

I agree. Vice just seems like some mainstream wanna-be pop star attention fiends. They don't know the first thing about taking money from vendors on the DNMs.

The only thing I've seen that involved Vice was their documentary on scopolamine. They didn't even try the shit. They bought like a g and just flushed it. Bunch of pussies if you ask me.

Why would weed smugglers donate to norml?

If Norml legalizs weed then illegal pot smugglers would go out of business.


[4 Points] Vendor_BBMC:

Motherboard are idiots. NORML isn't a charity, its a lobbying group like the tobacco lobby, so they will be mostly-funded by weed dealers.

NORML isn't trying to close the criminal market. It just wants the worry gone.

now that all eyes are on you, you should exit scam, then come back apologizing profusely and offering reships. then send out fentanyl cartridges. call it "The Ol' One Two Punch", you'd be immortalized in darknet lore

on the real though, if your opsec isn't already tippy top notch, nows the time to ramp it up. we all see your donations as harmless, but federal government certainly won't.

also think it was kinda dumb of NORML to publicly acknowledge that they're okay with receiving the proceeds of crime. rico not so suave.

“Be them illegal or taxed 'cannabusinesses', NORML welcomes their financial and in-kind donations to aid in the organization's 45-year-old public advocacy campaign to end cannabis prohibition, and replace with a tax-n-regulate policy similar to alcohol products,” Allen St. Pierre, executive director of NORML, told Motherboard in an email.

Indeed, NORML has previously received donations from criminals in the past, and in a quite public fashion too. St. Pierre recalled that in 1976, the founder of NORML received “a pile of $20 bills equaling $10,000, donated from a group of cannabis smugglers, exhorting NORML to succeed in its stated mission to legalize the noble herb.”

So basically just what I was saying and getting down voted for. No one gives a fuck if the donations are coming from the DNMs.

By the way Canna-Juice this is sorta unrelated but I was checked out your products recently and a couple things turned me off from ordering. The biggest issue I have is that you have a recommended voltage to vape your product at, but it's a completely arbitrary and useless number. It would make more sense to recommend a wattage considering you have no idea what resistance coil your customers are using. Kinda makes it seem like you don't really understand e-liquid.

Also wondering if these are flavored or all. There's no mention of flavoring at all and that's kind of a common thing in e-liquids.

Also kinda put off by some 1 star ratings that said the e-liquid had no effect and tasted bad.

Not complaining or anything but you may want to clear some of this up if you want to sell more product since these things kinda made me question the whole thing.

Honestly this doesn't surprise me, anytime I've met people from local NORML chapters they are a bunch of shady fucking people. Pro-tip, if you're the president of a local branch you shouldn't be openly talking about how you're on probation for selling pills.

Also, anyone remember what it was like when Vice was actually worth reading? When they wrote about gritty stuff and their do's and don'ts were consistently hilarious? It's a shame it's turned into a post feminist rag where a bunch of 20-something cunts from the suburbs write about all the perceived injustices they've faced in their priviledged existence. 10-12 years ago I'd read an issue cover to cover and enjoy it thoroughly. Now I'm lucky if I can make it 1/2 way through an article without thinking about punching Gavin right in the cock.

good concluding quote, Canna :)


[1 Points] shitterplug:

This is fucking NORML. Run by people who want to keep marijuana on the medical status because a lot of the upper members own dispensaries and don't want competition.


[1 Points] Molly-Serious:

Who can trust a organization who intentionally misspells there name? Think about it guys its not Norml....
