WATCH OUT FOR RIPPERS!

Many of you are probably familiar with Bud Trader, it is a fantastic website for wheeling and dealing for medical marijuana.  You can find some of the best deals in the industry through Bud Trader, in fact, is it a great resource and tool to market your products and your collective, if you have one.  However, Bud Trader is a “post your ad for free” classified ad website for medical marijuana.    

Bud Trader doesn’t take steps to ensure that the postings on their website are from legitimate, qualified, patients and caregivers.  And I don’t believe it is their responsibility.  It is our responsibility to keep ourselves safe and ensure we do business with legitimate collectives, caregivers, and patients.  To reply to the many horrifying “Ripper” ads being posted on Bud Trader.   

I must say, I am very disheartened that many people fail to realize the state of our economy and the impact it has on the most marginalized in our society. Unemployment rates for minorities are in the double digits across the nation. The majority and middle class is having just as much trouble trying to keep their houses and jobs. There are certain realities that we can’t ignore and we must be smart to keep ourselves safe. People do desperate things in desperate times and we are all vulnerable…it is just a sign of the times.  

There are ways to keep you safe, though. 1) Speak to a physician to get your doctor’s recommendation, it is not as difficult as you think. They are discreet and confidential. Some do it for $50-100. It is a worthwhile investment for not only your physical safety, but your legal safety. 2) Join a legitimate collective. Deal with people willing to come out of the closet and join a legitimate association of caregivers and patients. It is our legal right. If you are a vendor, ensure that you verify every patient’s doctor’s recommendation. 3) Support your collective and buy your medication from your collective to limit risk and improve the association of patients and caregivers just like you.
