    This made me laugh: "He's been in operation for quite awhile. He has had some packages seized at the border but he has a resend policy." and convinced me it's a scam.
    Re-send your order if it's seized?
    Man, not even dealers who know you won't replace the weed they sold you if you get busted or otherwise ripped off.
    And if it were true, most people who got their shipment would contact him and say "dude I never got it." so they could get more for free.

    Common sense should tell you it's a crock of shit.

    Find a home-town dealer or better yet grow your own for a few bux per ounce.

    if your package is seized by customs, they will send you a letter explaining your package was seized. i bet if you showed that letter to zippybud, they would do a resend, to keep your business. i know that most Research Chemical vendors have a similar policy.

    Do you honestly believe that if you scored some weed off your dealer and on the way home got busted and your weed taken, that all you'd have to do is go back to your dealer, show him the arrest report and he'd replace your weed?

    Ain't gonna happen.
    I was in the weed selliong business for 30 years; I know a lot about it.
    zippybud is a scam. Neither our gov't nor the Canadian gov't would allow it to happen/continue. Shipments would be easy to trace to their source.

    all I'm saying is that i know of on-line companies that ship both illegal and semi-legal substances, that will replace your order if it is confiscated by customs.

    Zippybud is NOT a scam (sorry but I have had dealings with several of these types of people, so I speak from experience), but a little bird tells me he is not currently operational. It has nothing to do with the government; these companies are compassionate med clubs.

    Personally, I can see a huge upsurge in MOM usage in the next few years, what with all the contaminants etc.

    Well ranger, if it makes you happy, i think there will be ALOT more growing going on soon too :)

    Personally i feel that a MOM service is just as safe as buying locally, its safer for the sender than the receiver obviously. You can put fake addy's on packages, go to different post offices etc. Hell i dunno about canada, but you can print postage in the USA for small items. One could go to to a library or something and print out postage, leech off a free wireless (i can drive anywhere in a suburban area and piggyback a wireless signal).

    Anyhow, GROW is where its at. And hopefully in a few weeks i'll never buy weed again.

    Zippybud--compassionate med-MJ club?
    Hardly.
    In legal med-MJ states, you MUST have a med-MJ card that you must get from a Dr. I've read instances where they let people in without a card and were shut down.
    And in states like OK, possession is still a serious crime (a felony).

    Possesion/consumption of marijuana is illegal in all of the U.S. (without a Dr's recommendation) and Canada, indeed most of the world. It's even still illegal in Holland; the authorities just "look the other way." Importation is a more serious crime.

    There were a few cannibus clubs in CA. that would, if you were a member and they had photocopies of your papers, sell you weed via the mail, but they got harrassed by the feds; it's against the law to ship marijuana via U.S. mail, even in legal-MJ states, because it's against federal law.

    Somebody I met ordered various goods through the mail from the Netherlands without any difficulties. Ordering drugs through the mail internationally may seem stupid, illogical, risky, etc. but that does not mean that people don't do it. It is unlikely that customs is going to prosecute somebody for ordering a small quantity of a soft-drug like pot because of the expense, but I'm sure they'd be a little more proactive if they intercepted a kilo of coke. It is a different story if the man finds the mail order service and attempts to bust the dealer, but even then, it is unlikely that the buyer would face any consequences in my opinion. The feds aren't smalltown police and have priorities that go beyond busting every person trying to order a quarter of pot over the internet.

    Some people must be from the planet Retardo if they think that the federal gov't doesn't care about international drug trafficking. They call it narco-terrorism.
    Look, this is not a couple of 15 year olds dealing a nickle bag behind the local 7-11.
    This is drug smuggling across internation borders. That's a serious crime.
    Does some get through? Sure, a small pct. There's no way that the gov't could get it all.
    Some muderers get away with it, that doesn't make murder legal.

    The feds have almost unlimited resources.
    And if they "don't care" as some people think, then ask yourself this--why isn't everybody doing it?

    People send each other dope all the time via the mail and UPS. But these are private transactions, conducted secretly, not business that advertise internationally (the internet).

    Is it really that hard to find a dealer?
    If you have a e-gold acc't your prob an adult. Then why the fuck aren't you growing your own? A small closet-sized grow can kick out up to 60 oz. per year and will cost you less than $300 to set-up. Outside is wayyyy cheaper.
    In many parts of the US the local p.d. (NOT the feds) doesn't sweat small personal grow. It CA, even wthout a script, they don't proecute small personal grows. They'll take your plants & light, that's it. In many other area's it's a slap on the wrist if they catch you. You're not facing federal time. And there's very little chance of getting caught if you're an adult and know how to keep your mouth shut.

    I'm not making this stuff up. I was involved in the commercial weed business for decades, I have a close friend who was a federal cop most of his life (we're both retired) and I used to work alongside other federal leo's. So I know what I'm talking about.

    Rest assured if the gov't seizes your weed shipment, no one will be replacing it, you just lost $$ and you'll feel sooooo stupid. And the gov't will keep your name will be on a list somewhere as a possible smuggler, terrorist or dope dealer, maybe inform the local heat to keep an eye on you. And that's if your lucky.
    They could charge you with international drug trafficking if they're in a pissy mood.
    And if they feel like making an example of you, your life will be permantly fucked over.

    Yes, yes, I understand that; what I meant was, he operates the same way as a med club, but without the need for a card.

    As for customs prosecuting people for recieving drugs in the mail; this does not happen. If customs think there is something iffy in the parcel, they may open it, then send you a letter informing you of what they have found. If you ignore the letter (i.e. don't claim ownership of the parcel) they have you for precisely nothing.

    Selling MJ to people without a card is illegal, same as selling it to someone in an alley.
    And if you think trafficking in drugs is not a crime (as in recieving dope in the mail), you're mistaken.
    With seeds from a country where seed sales are legal, or small amt's of MJ that doesn't cross borders, customs usually doesn't hassle people. But commercial transactions across international borders will AT LEAST get you investigated.
    Count on it.
    Again, if it were legal, everybody would be doing it.
    No dealer is going to replace weed that was seized. And if a weed shipment WAS intercepted, and you tell the cops "I didn't order any I don't know what you're talking about" and you recieve another shipment, the "I don't know nothin" routine ain't gonna cut it the 2nd time.

    I'll assume the DEA is more likely to extradite them, anyway, if it's serious, but the first three letters in assume are...

    Do you have 40 years of knowledge in the commercial aspects of marijuana?
    Thought so.
    I cordially invite you to eat shit and die.

    The best part is when older folks don't display their age. :D
