Cannabis and Facebook

I know this is not directly about growing our favorite plants but I hope this is an acceptable place to post this.
I subscribed to Seedsmans newsletters some time ago because I could no longer rely on facebook or youtube to not censor sites associated with Cannabis.
This whole thing about defunding, un-publishing or shadow-banning is not only very sad but in my opinion should be a wakeup call.
I have found several large sites about cannabis that have completely disappeared over the years. When I found a way to contact some of them they expressed the same sentiments as Seedsman and were simply the victim of seemingly arbitrary decisions by the tech giants to ban them and again in my opinion hurt the whole industry and negatively affect many lives.
Have a read if you like and see what you think.

Something we don't talk much here in Canada well in my part of Canada on CC... As for Seedsman I stopped a few years back from ordering from them.

Facebook is a piece of shit. People are stupid for using it even tho we all know doesn’t care about people. Only about money. “Cancel culture” started with good intentions but one thing is to “mee too” some old creep in power and a very different thing is to shape public perception censoring according to comercial interest. I rarely dump my opinions in here but I really don’t like the data industry
 
ITs a link to the seed man websites blog. They talk about their Facebook page being closed. Along with many other cannabis related accounts.
 
I only keep FB for my rare disease groups. I prefer Twitter. IG is so commercialized = Zuckerberg, plus his algorithms suck.
 
I think the same about guns. Humanity has outsmarted the need for killing machines inside society (outside warfare) I understand there’s millions of factors in place and guns do exist for a reason but I think there is always a smarter way to achieve the same results without the concept of taking lives. Like if you need guns to protect yourself you are living in a bad place. And you could move to a safer place. Won’t be easier and it’s for sure the long way but human life is worth it.

Also just like you said. A white person with a gun is a citizen but a black/latino/cannabis enthusiast with a gun is a criminal
 
Huh? No...not what I said/meant. Can't own firearms if you use cannabis. Putting yourself on stage on social media is a risk that should be thought of carefully. No purpose to all that crap anyway but to generate money for facebook. I meant dump Facebook to protect your privacy and potential liabilities. We can still be friends though, because we are adults having a conversation. ;)
 
Yeah no worries. I misunderstood. Anyway. I don’t mind most American like guns. You are all clustered In one country and don’t pose a risk to my way of life. And I imagine being in a place where everyone has guns and uses them to kill other people I would get guns to create the sense of safety. We all want to survive 🙃 in Mexico there’s only one government run gun store. Still there are tons of ilegal guns. But only criminals use them. Regular people don’t mess with them. So if you are not in conflict with cops or criminals there’s really no need for them.
 
No worries! I was coming from a US viewpoint....so that's why we talk. One government run gun store???

Them things gotta be expensive as hell I'd imagine. ;)
 
I said Fk FB years ago because all the advertising was driving me nuts, and Zuckerberg was becoming more and more suspicious in my view. I'm glad I left when I did, as they now won't even let you look around on FB if you don't have an account. That's proof that something fked up is going on.
 
YEp. In theory you could try get a license to hunt for example. And buy a licensed shotgun. Permit. Everything you need to go and hunt. It’s just not common. Private security firms buy guns in wholesale just like the police and army
 
Being in the field I figured out big techs goal long before they started doing the bullshit they do. This is as close to social media as I get. Sorry but I don’t give a crap what you had for breakfast or what you’re wearing today 🤷🏻‍♂️ Just isn’t on my radar

As far as the legalization of cannabis goes, anyone who believes it’s a good thing is kidding themselves. Criminally yes but like anything else, once the government gets involved and sees how much money can be made prices will skyrocket. Eventually homegrown will be illegal again because they will need to be able to control the potency of the product for safety reasons. Find you some strains you really like snd learn how to keep a mom and clone. Otherwise get ready to pay big bucks in the not so distant future.
 
I made the mistake of asking a cashier at a dispensary if they were thinking of trying to grow their own now that its legal here. You know, just for fun if anything, not even expecting a massive yield. The dude looked at me like I was the spawn of Satan and had just threatened to bite the head off his first born and said "We don't talk about homegrown here." That was my moment of realization that the money grubbers will band together to make homegrown illegal again at some point. Then later that day I saw a local news story about a weed growing landscaper of sorts, the company comes out builds you an enclosed garden plants up to 12 seeds of your choice and then comes back once or twice a week to care for them. That shit had me crying laughing, just imagining that cashier at the dispensary turning into The Punisher over this "weedscaping" company lmao
