I disagree you clearly put your email after saying needed help getting rid of things

That is very much obvious to me what the intent was I don’t disagree you may have been joking harmlessly but they won’t see it like that
That is not true at all
We have this rule you can search support it was well in place before me

As per advertising they are companies who supply seeds under the pretense no ones popping them
They also have business licenses
Rules are rules, but I always question them when a) they don't make sense and b) they are applied differently depending on who you are. I was didn't tell anyone to pop seeds either and I was wasn't selling anything. Clearly I offended your advertisers, or you thought I did. Fair enough, but do act like I risked having RIU shut down for my post. That's ridiculous given that seeds are clearly for sale directly above my post.In your words "That is very much obvious to me what the intent was"
It's sad when helping fellow patients with nothing in return expected or accepted would be considered wrong, but throw in a few dollars and suddenly the sins disappear. Incredibly sad.

That is not true at all that user just has it out to try to be like because people have issues following basic rules to keep our website running he has numerous warnings prior basically in short he will argue against anything I do
We have this rule you can search support it was well in place before me I have no personal basis to sit here and argue all day long about how horrible I am
Really think I personally went after you ? For what purpose ?

As per advertising they are companies who supply seeds under the pretense no ones popping them
They also have business licenses
Their sales and seeds are not bought through riu they simply run ads here
Much different than on the forum swaps from users
So it’s ok for riu to run ads for illegal importation of Rec cannabis seed to the US based on a perceived condition of not germinating the seed, but Canadians (where cannabis in all forms is federally legal) can’t share a few seeds for free? Do you not see the hypocrisy in this “rule”?!

This really truly has nothing to do with advertisers
It’s just a really old rule that we have prior to advertising
I wish it was done with and everyone was allowed to throw seeds around and spread the love because I truly tried of dealing with this dumb rule

It seriously I cannot stress enough has NOTHING to do with offending advertisers

Yea the rule is fucking stupid I already said that several times but it’s the rules I can’t change them
So sitting here being a jackass to me doesn’t do anything to change it except that you’re being rude to a human being for no reason which doesn’t deserve it

The site is a privately owned site, and the owner can decide what he wants on his forum. If you have a problem with anything that he has decided, then you can talk to him about it.

BTW he is Canadian, and lives in Canada, so he knows all about your laws.

I get that you hate the rule, lol, but riddle me this, how did the advertisers get past the rule if it existed before them? Weird.
Anyway, no hard feelings, I just don't like being treated unfairly so blatantly by shifting rules and I put that on RIU. They really need to join the 21st century. I'll find another way to help out patients and RIU can keep their virtue and purity by only allowing seeds to change hands if RIU are paid first and it's a for-profit endeavor.

Your email doesn't work, so I'll just put it here;
I'm just confused at the reasoning behind your rule against sharing seeds, while at the same time you waived the rule for advertisers. What crime am I committing by giving away my legal property and why are your advertisers exempt from the rule/law?
I thought I was respecting your rules not spelling out that I was giving away seeds and inviting people to use email to 'advise' me of how I could get rid of my seeds. These are just seeds I got from my own plant that I will never use. I certainly wasn't trying to offend anyone.
Can you explain what harm having a close-knit RIU community offering to help others for free has caused. I don't get it. It seems incredibly heavy handed and un-Canadian given the same rules don't apply for advertisers.
I'm just disappointed. You can email me [email protected] if you want it private.

So when their web sites contain instructions on how to germinate them, and pictures of flowering plants, somehow THAT intent was missed?
