indeed, and as long as you can talk about whats bad and not.
Its nice to know who has the real deal and who is spreading shwag...
Clones, Seeds, or flowers... its not like the people that were trading clones were ready to drop 200+ for some Hermi seeds.
Amen brother! I've been broke for the last X amount of months, just trying to put food on my table. I don't have $$$$ to blow on beans at the moment. I have about a $2,000 wishlist for beans that I will get to eventually, but due to recent events, it probably won't be spent at SB or SD, and it DEFINITELY won't be spent on Rez's gear!
They labelled us all as thieves like we are trying to make money off their site. I'm sure there were a few spammers and dispensaries trying to promote themselves, but I think 95% of us just wanted to trade some cuts so we can have the DANK! Not monetarily motivated. I have never mailed or received clones, nor have I paid or charged for clones from any trade or meet up. I stayed within the confines of my medical state and abided by the local MMJ laws. I didn't take any business from anyone as most of the cuts traded are elites anyway and not available as seed!
The usual meet up was always somewhere public, was always friendly, often times included an exchange of sample nugs, and sometimes a little toke session. I've met some great friends this way....it turns out you have much more in common with each other than the other 99% of society!
The way I see it, we are all scientists in our little home-built labs. We share data and samples, and we do our best to recreate and improve on each other's experiments and results! Where would science be without the open trading of data and samples? The pharmaceutical industry of patents, law suits, and secrecy, thats where!
Where would we be today if Sam the Skunkman, Neville, Shanti, Reeferman, Breeder Steve, Soma, OJD, DJ Short, etc. all didn't share genetics with each other?
Breeders are supposed to do all the hard work of selecting phenos and stabilizing lines. When they just sell us F1 crosses of elite cuts from our own backyard (that hermi like a bitch anyway), of course we aren't going to give them our money! They gotta put the work in to deserve my hard grown cash!
