And lets just be clear, I have said that I replaced my use of cannabis and prescription medication with Kratom and other herbs.   
I no longer live in a MMJ state, but we do sell legal hemp oil (infused with CBD) in our store.  It's not medical marijuana per se, but it is cannabis, and it does have the medical properties found in CBD's.

As for SR,  look up on Youtube where News Reporters have demonstrated logging in and using SR.     
No more illegal than a person in a non-MMJ state looking up a cannabis dispensary in California.

But buying cannabis as a medical marijuana patient while in California, from another California person is not illegal.   
Cannabis patients have the right under Prop 215 and SB 420 to legally attain, possess and use cannabis as recommended by a doctor.


Also here is information about cannabis that is legal in ALL 50 states;

Scientific information on hemp and cannabis, as well as legal information to follow.

Cannabidiol’s legal status in the United States:  (from Wikipedia)

    While the DEA Drug Schedule classifies THC (Tetrahydrocannabinols) and marijuana as Schedule I, cannabidiol is not found on the list.[55] Other synthetic cannabinoids such as JWH-019,073,081,122,200,203,250,398 are also listed in Schedule I, but cannabidiol is absent.[55]

    Marijuana is defined by 21 U.S.C. §802(16), which is part of the Controlled Substances Act. The mature stalks and seeds of the Cannabis sativa L. plant, as well as products derived from the mature stalks and seeds are explicitly exempt from classification as marijuana.[56][57][58] Under this exception, what are known as industrial hemp-finished products are legally imported into the United States each year.[59] Hemp finished products, including hemp oil high in cannabidiol, are legal in the United States for this reason.

    Some cannabidiol oil is derived from marijuana and is therefore high in THC.[60] This type of cannabidiol oil would be considered a Schedule I as a result. However, cannabidiol derived from industrial hemp is legal and unscheduled itself.[60] In other words, cannabidiol’s legal status depends on where it is derived from, as cannabidiol itself is not scheduled.[56]

    On February 6, 2004 the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a unanimous decision in favor of the HIA in which Judge Betty Fletcher wrote, “[T]hey (DEA) cannot regulate naturally-occurring THC not contained within or derived from marijuana-i.e. non-psychoactive hemp is not included in Schedule I. The DEA has no authority to regulate drugs that are not scheduled, and it has not followed procedures required to schedule a substance. The DEA’s definition of “THC” contravenes the unambiguously expressed intent of Congress in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and cannot be upheld”. On September 28, 2004 the HIA claimed victory after DEA declined to appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States the ruling from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals protecting the sale of hemp-containing foods. Industrial hemp remains legal for import and sale in the U.S., but U.S. farmers still are not permitted to grow it.

    The summary “Agency Issues Legislative Rule in Violation of Administrative Procedures Act” by Harrison M. Pittman of the National Agricultural Law Center is an excellent overview of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision in HIA v. DEA.

The video presentation and a few other details will be completed soon.   I don't have a built in camera on my current lappy.   So Im going to get that verified tomorrow with my work computer.

Anyway, that token is good for awhile, so refer to that if you want to know anything more about my identity.  

I think that this store is a very good thing for bitcoin.  With our bitcoin point of sale through coinbase  (soon to upgrade to Coinkite) and our Project Skyhook Bitcoin ATM, it will help raise awareness in this area and beyond to bitcoin.

We hope to put together a bitcoin conference for January.

I saw a link to this company on this thread earlier;  https://ardeva.com

I checked them out, and they require a video of the person, holding the ID card, and a security code written on paper.
I think that makes a lot of sense.  The other thing that https://ardeva.com does that BTCJam doesn't do, is allow a person to verify a credit card, which I did.  Then it asked to verify the Code from the transaction on the credit card statement, which of course was easy for me to do.   But between the credit card link, that bears my name, and the ID verification, and the credit and employment verification.   I think it is a pretty credible system.

I just started the process there today, so my stuff is not yet verified.  But it's currently getting verified. 


When glennmatthew posted this;



So I started the verification process there too.   Seems like a good place to centralize verifications and they go to extra levels of verifying someone that places like BTCJam don't.

This is my token.   https://ardeva.com/verify/A5432223F02A1C1A15960774


My account is very new, so nothing is verified yet.   But it will be soon.

Could be computer graphic imaging that put some guy that looks like the guy on my ID, in that business, and opening the door with that key, and offering up sensitive information about all details.   Could be a lot of things I suppose.

Like I said, invest or not.   

I am legally able to possess medical cannabis in three states.    In California, I could buy from anyone in the state, it didn't have to be from a dispensary.   Nothing in either Proposition 215 or Senate Bill 420 forbid a patient from buying from the black market that I am aware of.
I mean, I assumed anyone selling me medicine was in a legitimate business, I had no requirement by law to make sure that they were.

When I referred to what was sketchy about SR, is giving up sensitive information to potential threats, like violent criminals or something.

But I saw nothing illegal about a legal patient recognized by state law, attaining or possessing cannabis.   

At my 9-5 job, I had fully admitted to my boss before getting hired that I was an MMJ patient, and I told him about my condition and he told me "as long as it doesn't effect your job, it doesn't bother me".   April was my 6th Anniversary with that company. 

I don't know if you read the newspaper that I wrote, and posted a link to here?   But one of my articles is "not all marijuana is illegal".   It may be of interest if you are interested in the subject.

Or it means that the identity is not actually his. I don't think it would be all that difficult to buy a fake ID plus facebook account, ect

lol probably not something you wouldn't want to openly admit, seeing how your real ID is now tied to your forum account. Sure you might have ways to legally get weed now, but back then it was still illegal to get it from silk road. Wouldn't want to see you get Shrem'ed before your business becomes a success.

I've never really understood the extreme need for anonymity, either. I have posted my name, address, and profession (life&health insurance sales) on the forum and have never had anybody come to my house bothering me.
Though, anybody wanting to buy life or health insurance from a fellow crypto friend, I am licensed in most mid-western states! 

LOL, sounds good.   I may list a bunch of stuff tonight.  I have a decked out Chevy Tahoe that I am thinking of selling too.  I just upgraded to a Cadillac Escalade.    I can accept coin for everything, because I don't ever get banks involved.  If I don't have cash, I don't buy it usually.

Hmmm, no thanks then.  

Seriously, post in the Goods section - chances of a buyer reading your message in this thread are very slim.

Speaking of miners, I have an A2 Terminator 60 MH/s miner that I am thinking about selling.    Bought it for $8700 in May, I think it only worth like $3000 now.   But if anyone wants to buy it, send me an offer.  I can meet in person, and escrow is accepted if need be.
I am heading back to Maine from Idaho for a doctors appointment around October 15th.  So I could potentially meet someone, somewhere in between (very public place, day time, no weird shit).

I stayed anonymous for a year or so with Bitcoin, because I was using SR to get weed.  I lived in California, and I was a patient, but I lived hella far from a dispensary, so I was being very hush hush, because I was getting small amounts of cannabis in a potentially vulnerable way.   I have replaced cannabis and prescriptions now with Kratom and other herbs.   So Im not worried about being anonymous any more.
Another thing that changed my mind about being anonymous, is that I wanted to tie my retail store, to my bitcoin sales on Bitmit.net to add credibility as I offered a returns policy for merchandise and such.   So since about 2012 I have been completely transparent with my identity.   I didn't post on these forums, because with so many hackers it seemed sort of sketchy to sign up on forums.   
But I have been here since I got heavily in to mining.    I've bought and sold a few miners based on leads at this forum over the years.
If you look through my past posts, I've sold several miners here, or to people who contacted me on here, and then I tied the transaction to Ebay for security and assurance.   

Anyway, Im just another bitcoin enthusiast, this community as well as my reputation mean a lot to me. 

Back in 2008 I had created my own online currency/economy.  We initially called it "Cannapoints" but it later became "Cannabits".  It was based on wordpress plugins, and merchandise that could be bought with points from our retail store.   I have a lot invested in crypto-currency.

I don't see the big deal about being anonymous.  I'm a scam buster so a lot of scammers (like dank) hate my guts.  Those that have money could easily come to Canada and find me.   But I'm not worried.

I mean if someone doesn't get paid by me, they could potentially send Guido out to my business and beat it out of me.
I have left my self very vulnerable.   It's sort of disenchanting how much verification BTCJam needs.   But I went through that process anyway.   Ive resisted signing up anywhere else, because I really hate giving so much information, to do it more than once would really freak me out.    If I don't get funded on BTCJam, I may just turn back to traditional bank (ugh).   Either way ya know..  Whatever works,

Actually on BTCjam, it looks like I haven't gotten burned yet.  Because the people haven't defaulted yet.   But the notion was that they were going to be paying back "instantly", and never did. 

So I suspect I'll get burned on those coins.
 
But the money that I have made from other investments almost covered those losses.   So no biggy.  Like I say, we win some and we lose some.

But I risked a lot by opening up my identity.  Most of these scammers never give any information.   So I feel like I have a leg up on the credibility scale based on how much I have revealed. 

I got burned a little with the whole MCXNOW scam too.   I lost about 6 coins, when BTC was worth $1040.

That's cool.  I have lent coin too.  It was my first order of business when I got on BTCjam.     I've already gotten burned twice now totally about $210. 

We win some and we lose some. 

I doubt anyone has filed a bankruptcy for $5000. 

But it's all good.  Im not depending on this money to eat.

As I have demonstrated, I have plenty of assets, and plenty of business.   Im not worried.

Yes, I have lent coins.  I "police" the lending forum because I want to prevent scams to keep the btc price high.  This is also why I haven't been as active lately, as right now scams are not going to hurt the price any more than it is.
