  6. I sure hope it won't change things because compared to a lot of cannabis forums, this one is pretty active. Good on them for working so hard to get to an acquisition though.
     
  7. So the cops are gonna bust down my door now? Do they just use this app to bust people?
    I can’t make sense of this article.

    The BMW: G20 is currently under development, so don’t expect to see it without camouflage any time soon.
    Expect it as a 2019 model, with the possibility of it debuting in late 2018.
     
  9. This is true who would have thought the 'shop' here at GC be worth $500.000 pa

    thats a lot of Rizlas and bongs shooting out the door

    back in the day you became a 'Gold Member' had you donated or spent at the shop

    so any perks for them hard donating 'Gold Members' ?

    I never understood how 99% of the membership is from "merica?

  15. Theirs a joke in here someplace ....lol

    We made $7.Mil and you ain't getting poop

    thank you for your service ....lol


    Now if you Mods would lean a little left ...more :

    thats it and see the site as a CO=Op (not commune)

    all members and their operators would be entitled to a cut of that shiny $7.0 mil

    Cooperative - Wikipedia
     
  16. Kinda the reason why I dont donate or help any charity that has highly paid executives. "help us for free so we can pay ourselves 100k a year before any more goes to x/y/z".

  17. Bit melodramatic, it's not as like the new owners are going to give @jmick a knuckle duster and @Lizard King a feather duster then make them fight to the death with the winner claiming a dinner date with @RMJL
