I think police used overgrow.com to bust growers. You never know who is readin your posts. afterall anyone can. ''Paranoia is the highest form of awareness'' - John Lennon
ah, I get the rope reference now! when I was in the navy they mentioned how the captains had to tar the ropes to keep the sailors from smoking the lines. Maybe hes an old dude, and doesn't know where he lives? Haha! HF is too clever for that! and most people are hesitant about new people, especially when the first question asked is so, personal. we don't even know if this person is cool, makes good conversation, has clever ideas, all we know is he put hook up in quotes. its a pot forum, we know what a hook up is. don't insult our intelligence.
I have a pretty strong suspicion the O.P. was not a cop but possibly signed onto another member's computer and made a new account to do some fun trolling.
its 3 pages long! awesome! Most of the people here are not dumb enough to trust someone they don't know/ trust. Those who are that dumb are taking a risk. My mom told me not to accept candy from strangers. As it turns out, I am strange. So I suppose the question is: Who is, in fact, stranger?
That is a very interesting point you brought up mothers love. I find myself asking that to myself when-ever I eat out. We are all told not to accept candy from strangers but we go to restaraunts where we dont know anyone and take all the food we can afford. Its funny how society works.
but if the waiters were coming up to you in the street, offering tasty lobster and steak for free from a plate they were carrying.. wouldn't you be a little suspicious? so back to the point. I find it highly unlikely that police come on hipforums trying to score a connect so they could bust them. I'm sure they wouldn't be able to get a conviction that way, entrapment and intent and all sorts of legal mumbo jumbo. I do find it quite funny to read the replies of "I smell bacon" and "fuck you pig" though. seriously, if a cop has nothing more productive to do than to come on here and try to bust some kids for smoking weed, then he deserves sympathy, not mockery.
1st off the cops arent here tryin to bust ya for smoking, theyre trying to find whos dealling.. there is the question of jurisdiction though, so wouldnt be local cops doin it, but perhaps dea might i can pretty much guarantee that both those posters wont go beyond the 2 and 3 posts they got now, because they were cops fishing for a bite..unfortunately the only ones they'll be able to bust is some 14 or 15 year old wannabe dealler who just thinks its so cool to be deallin they take all sortsa stupid risks we've had a few of them already, and some are dumb enough to reply to these idiots even after dozens of warnings
I guess I just have a hard time believing cops are that stupid. might as well say something like "hello fellow drug addicts, I am looking to acquire some illegal marijuana cigarettes. do you have any to sell me? I assure you, I am a drug addict, just like you." it just seems like such a waste of police resources. you'd think they'd want to go after something bigger than kids dealing weed. doesn't this sort of thing fall under entrapment as well? I suppose if someone's dumb enough to fall for this sort of sham, they're going to get busted sooner or later anyway.
But remember the pork like to trap the user and trade up to the dealer and hope to trade again for the supplier.
you find it hard to believe a cop would waste theyre time trying to bust yas for selling weed?dont ya know what cops do for a living? enforce laws, selling weed wether on the streeet or onlines illegal still so theyre being paid to do exactly that, bust kids smoking and selling weed maybe your so stoned all the time u cant imagine ppl actualy doing theyre jobs just to get paid, but it happens... entrapment isnt entrapment unless it fits certain criteria, dont you see deallers getting busted every day for selling to undercovers? if your dumb enough to sell or buy from anyone ya dont know personaly then ya desserve to get busted..
I doubt that this has anything to do with the long arm of the law. I suspect that it's just a kid having some trolling fun. I've been wrong before though...
heh. scouring the internet for people selling weed and making posts trying to buy weed online is hopeful at best. in case it went over your head - maybe you were too stoned to fully comprehend - my point was what is bolded. my initial thought was what stinkfoot suggested, or maybe someone honestly trying to score (doubtful, especially now that the OP has vanished) on the off chance that the OP was actually a cop, this is a good question. I'd guess if it's a cop, he's doing this on his own time because he's desperate to increase his arrest quota because he's a shitty cop in the first place, which leads back to the stupidity of trying to set up deals online.
