Weed websites lead DEA officials to drug users

I imagine this is a touchy subject, but curious as to how the mag handles info requests from govt agencies...? I would have to imagine that the mag has been hit with them before, or at the very least, their host. How often does that happen and what are the procedures for handling? Not passing judgements as the issue is mostly a legal one, meaning the sites response would largely be dictated.
I always wondered whether priceofweed.dot.com was a front for data-mining.

What are you gonna do, stop smoking weed? Fuck the police. Know this......just like agents in the Matrix, they operate on a set of rules and laws. I don't. As long as you know THEIR rules, you can act with damn near impunity, as I do. Cops switch shifts 3x a day....If you pay close attention, you can clearly see the 2 hours a day where there are literally NO cops on the street. Most people don't know that, and the cops use their general "scariness" to cover the fact that for 2 hours a day, there is almost zero police presence. They rely on the same fear of "but what about me and my house and family" to divide us and keep us all under the thumb. Everyone is so afraid of being the one caught, that they don't realize the cops NEVER catch the first person. Look at riots...you never see the guys throwing molotov cocktails in custody, you see the slow running people who brought stupid signs and no gas masks getting the shit kicked out of them by riot police. Dudes with the molotovs were gone at the first whiff of gas. They know what is coming. Dogs, rubber bullets and gas. Once you know what the cops are going to do, its easy to avoid them. The cops/feds are not all powerful, they are reactionary by nature. If you do not alert them, they do not come......
come on guys They just planted acres and acres of Hemp in CO. This is the first Hemp farm since it was made Illegal. If the feds aren't going to go after 100's of acres of Hemp there not going to bother with this. We are about to find out if the DEA destroys these Hemp farms. to much resources needed to have a good case to prosecute. some guy for 10 plants. Now this is not the case in states that don't have MMJ on the books. These states will still bust you anyway they can.
Many farmers in Colorado will be expanding their list of planted crops this Spring after groundbreaking legislation was passed last November that allowed not only for the legalization of marijuana, but hemp as well. Now in case you’re not familiar, hemp is actually a multi-purpose substance that does not produce the high effects of marijuana. In fact, it’s mainly used as a super cheap and highly efficient building material — at least in other nations where ridiculous bans are not enforced on the ‘high-free’ material.
Colorado farmers like Michael Bowman will be planting 100 acres of hemp to be harvested and sold off as not only building material, but a highly nutritious superfood. While marijuana is considerably high in the substance known as THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol), which of course is the compound that produces the ‘high’ effects, it’s also significantly low in what’s known as CDB (cannabidiol). That’s where hemp comes in. Both THC and CDB are known as cannabinoids, but hemp is particularly high in CDB while lacking in THC.
These cannabinoids have actually been promoted by many first hand sources as not only a health optimizing substance, but a serious solution to cancer. One popular documentary titled ‘Run from the Cure’ by Rick Simpson, which is available for free on Youtube, focuses on the use of hemp oil to conquer cancer.
Rich in essential oils, fiber, and a close to complete amino acid profile, hemp contains beneficial ingredients such as:
•Linoleic acid (44% of the weight of hempseed is actually full of edible oils)
•Omega 3 fatty acids (shown time and time again to fight against anxiety, depression, and even inflammation)
•Omega-6
•A ‘complete’ amino profile that surpasses the profile of eggs, milk, soy, and many meats. This includes the 9 essential aminos that the human body cannot produce on its own.
It is for these reasons that hemp is utilized today in many high quality products like protein shakes, energy bars, and many more food products. Two tablespoons of shelled hemp seeds contain about 11 grams of protein and 2 grams of unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids.
Its versatility allows it to be a prime ingredient even in clothing and fabric-based industries. It could transform the entire industry, replacing unsustainable materials with environmentally friendly hemp.
Feds: ‘We Will Come for Your Hemp’
That is if the federal government doesn’t seize it across the nation. The DEA has its sights set on confiscating all hemp planted and grown in the United States through citing the Controlled Substances Act, which doesn’t differentiate between marijuana and hemp. The agents, which will ignore state law and enforce federal law throughout any state, say that they will be going after farmers who plant non-THC hemp as if they were planting marijuana. After all, they say it doesn’t matter what it actually is.
“It really doesn’t matter whether it looks different or it looks the same,” DEA agent Paul Roach told NPR. “If it’s the cannabis plant, it’s in the Controlled Substances Act and, therefore, enforceable under federal drug law.”
In the event that Colorado manages to generate acres of hemp without the federal government raiding the super efficient substance that is classified as a dangerous drug, it will provide a serious industry change that may spread to other states and potentially even federal law. In the more likely scenario of federal agents jailing hemp farmers and raiding their ‘drug’ operations, an intellectual and legal resistance will be in order to attempt to alter the ridiculous laws surrounding the cultivation of hemp

Who cares, your CIA can still dump as much toxic crap where ever it wants to tackle the 'problem' of peasant farmers trying to make a decent living...
You know what I'd really like to see? Some major campaigns to convince people to finally give up on the whole fucking system and vote for an alternative party. This option exists! I'm hoping the Green and Pirate parties start to take off as the older generations finally die off
those farmers care buddy.. WTF does the CIA have to do with anything lol.. Conspiracy theories again....
Im out you guys can discuses.

Tempting fate in a show of bravado?
A dear departed friend said much the same thing in 1976, ended up being sentenced to back to back terms 0f 17 & 20 years respectively, served only 7 on a technical appeal.
If I were engaged in any sort of cannabis enterprise, I probably wouldn't post to this forum or any like it. If I were feeling brave about it all, I'd have followed this advice before I started doing so-

Dunno how much good it would do, but I doubt it would hurt.

Has anyone watched the DEA show on Spike TV? They're all idiots! They couldn't find their ass even if they used both hands. Most if not all of their busts come from snitches. I'm not worried. Fuck the DEA.
I ALWAYS watch that show, just to keep abreast of new tactics/techniques. Its always snitches....getting set up by a snitch/feds is such an easy thing to avoid, I almost laugh when I see people get caught. Stop being greedy and complacent, cutting corners and ASSUMING its all good. I make sure its all good. Simple rules prevent getting busted by the DEA.
if you get caught don't believe a word Leo tells you. don't be a snitch. You got busted you need to take the heat for your misfortune. Don't make problems for those of us that are not busted...
I don't watch any of these shows. This puts Money in there pocket Im not going to help do that.

ICMag has NEVER had a request from any agency anywhere (at least not while I've been here). According to our hosting company (located in the Netherlands) they have never been approached by any agency either. That's because ICMag is not in the US, so stop thinking that the US and DEA have the power over everyone on Earth. They don't!
Also the DEA is NOT INTERESTED in cannabis users. Even Obama has said so. If you're not growing 100+ plants or dealing pounds the DEA doesn't care or have the resources to deal with you.
I will be waiting on my porch smoking a big fat joint LOL they catch the dumbasses
NOPE,its all about the RATS.........

I do have a question, mainly because I'm not internet savvy as it is, but are they, they being the ones that wish to due us harm, able to intercept communications between, say the time what I type leaves my computer and reaches your servers? Just curious about that. I'm thinking they could serve a warrant to my ip, and intercept the communications at that point before being routed to you guys.
ICMag isn't going to sell us out to a government agency.
I can't believe anybody that comes here would think that and still come here.
