Id like to start a brand to help lobby for cannabis laws and educate people on the benefits of medical cannabis. Im looking into getting involved in some field work for my state NORML chapter. While Im passionate about extolling the benefits of cannabis and helping to link those in need with life changing meds, I do worry about exposure and mainly cyber surveillance (google keeps showing hydro related ads, im constantly turning my location services off and on and i dont trust the iphone13 that has eyes and ears and goes everywhere with me). I got some clones off Strainly, and the guy had some dope slaps and business cards, and that got me thinking ' I should do that and get a logo and slaps and start branding my buds' Im gonna look into facebook and reddit but ive never done any kind of social media cause i feared the locations and tagging and such

Honestly, unless you are moving big weight, and your country executes for drug offense I wouldn't worry too much. At a minimum, use an end-to-end encrypted chat like signal to communicate. A vpn will get you serious mileage on an international level but locally, encryption and a burner phone are your best bet.
And unless someone has it out for you, no one really cares what you are doing.

I tossed my hat in the ring and created a "brand" page on Facebook and linked it with my IG

No clue what I'm doing but it's my name and at a minimum, I'd like to be able to prove prior art to any nimrod that tries to pull a swifty on me.
Plus it gives me the option of actually turning myself into a business, I guess?‍♀️

This ? not only that, but who has the resources to execute anything anymore. Unless Uncle Sam notices we are good

Enter the American Recue Plan that was enacted last year. This is where ANY form of electronic payments over $600 get a 1099k. I think there were quite a few little old ladies selling teapots on Venmo, PayPal or CashApp, that thought no one really cared either.

Are these the same little old ladies that complained when online purchases became subject to sales tax? Looks like it's time for those little old ladies to seek a new marketplace they can exploit until regulation arrives or pony up like any other business does.

it's all part of the game. And I'm not encouraging @gashouse to engage in illegal activity. That's on them and I'd expect that they would do their due diligence in avoiding detection. What I do encourage is civil disobedience and activism against unjust laws, corporatism, and religious fanaticism. If reporting income is unjust to you, then change the law or relocate to a place it doesn't apply.

Maybe we can reinstate debtors jail to fill the void created by ending marihuana prohibition.


One last thing I've been thinking about for a while now.
Facial recognition has entered the chat.

Everyone seems to accept this as a fact of life now if they even give it any thought at all.

Now here's where my logic is stumbling. The same general crowd that is screaming about muh fredums are the same ones actively thwarting the best defense against that intrusion of privacy right now, the mask. The Venn Diagram is a literal circle.

So if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go marinate on that one a bit more.
