Weed websites lead DEA officials to drug users
Some pot users are heading online and getting more brazen about their use.

Websites for weed will let drug users compare prices of weed around the country. While users think they are anonymous on the site. Police can still track them down. And DEA officials say they are keeping watch.
"We have several investigations into various websites, it's like you have those drug dealers now who used to work in back alleys are now coming into American homes behind these computer screens," said DEA Special Agent Ramona Sanchez.
The DEA says if you're providing information on the web, then you've probably just admitted to breaking the law and agents say they're on top of it so post at your own risk.

I highly doubt we hear about the majority of busts. Shit, regular members dont exactly advertise their issues, even tho some certainly exist.

nonetheless, doubt id b putting on a half mil dollar show, or the like.

The DEA just knows their days are numbered, every time I see one of those idiots I think of Mr. Smith in the Matrix. Good luck looking into every person that posts a plant picture on the internet, just an excuse to get more money.

Surely they can't get everyone, BUT, what will happen to your family and home if your one the ones they do get?

I'm scared they may try and go down with a fight. The typical reaction of prohibitionists seems to be to spout as much bullshit as possible and point to it as evidence for the harms of cannabis. Just a few days ago there was an article in a fairly popular (amongst some people...) newspaper claiming that cannabis and cannabis addiction are leading to 30,000 deaths a year in Britain (unsubstantiated of course -_-).

The problem is that as these voices become louder and louder, they might drown out the truth. Just look at cannabis classification in the UK, it's a frickin' roller-coaster ride.

Also check out the NSA Utah data storage center :) I think, if it's for what a lot of people are suggesting it's for, that easy personal privacy on the internet might now be with us for too much longer...
 
they should not be underestimated for sure. i am encrypting more and more of my everyday electronic comm. if for no other reason than to make em work to get it. imagine if everybody just routinely encrypted EVERYTHING! at least it would tie up their resources.

No digital communications are secure. - Former FBI Counterterrorism agent Tim Clemente.

NSA+AT&T+FISA just to give an example of how the above statement is true.

Carry on.

In this day, it is very easy to hide connections to websites if you're worried. They might get turned on (hypothetically) to a huge grower in a non-legal country/state, but that's all, using it as evidence is fraught with legal problems. Just be safe.


very unlikely since 2 states are now legal. This site is not located in the USA..

Heh, as long as it isn't Canada, I remember Overgrow was "we're in Canada! It's safe!" ... I think the RCMP took their servers :(
