I remember how happy we were to hit 100,000 members, but I can’t remember if we hit 200k

Stupid LEO in Canada and the US, they did the one thing you shouldn’t do to a service in huge demand, blow it up. We were all scared for awhile, who wouldn’t be?
Fast forward 17 years later, and the dumbfucks in law enforcent now have many, many learn to grow websites (dozens?) with 100,000+ members all over the world.
Legalization is coming for the Congress, they will have to acknowledge this. Now if only an OG drug warrior wasn’t the President…

I went to see it in 2004-06, what I don’t remember is if it was registered, I imagine that it was because it was on icmag.com, 420magazine, cannabiscafe.net, lamarihuana.com and surely I also registered…
When do you release the information from the hard drives?

From 2009 to 2013 an overgrow was made in Spanish, I did it, here you can see screenshots of those years.
It’s the story and it had to be said too…

Funny enough, I heard that Marla herself came up with the idea to use dry ice first, then she published the tek using ice water to make her competitors make an inferior product. The idea being that many terpenes are water soluble and will be washed away with the water. Whereas dry ice keeps these terps intact in the final hash product.

Ive seen a lot of information espionage over the years to get people to make an inferior product, so the real heads of the industry will always have product velocity

Ive heard that sense the early days of bubble bags , I have always been a fan of dry sift and old fashioned hash for the exact reason of loss of terps. Even some of the best full melt bubble lacks in comparison to some lightly pressed dry sift dug out of the bottom of a tote :rofl:

Very interesting comment (the only one this account ever made) in a thread @LemonadeJoe crosslinked to here, commenting on Subcool’s story of RC and Heaven’s Stairway:

Man i just got back on the internet and nobody took my handle, that’s awesome. There was some many people that help contribute to the forums everyday, there was this guy, “hempcat” he lived in Amsterdam and had a green house one of the few place it was legal in the 90’s he shared so much content, sorry for commenting on a dead thread. Glad this site is back. I am way late to the party, been growing in the dark since they took marc emery down.

That would be a fun tally to run, we all had goofy windows 95 logos or Linux penguins, or linux red hat as our images, stuff that would be retro now days. I mean i was in my 20’ and talking to guys in their 60’s id imagine a-lot of them have passed by now. I’d hope they are still around though, it was scary to put what we had online. There where no vpns to other countries, and back then packet sniffing, tracking, tracing was fair game, no law or regulations… now there is so many forums, and even groups on meta its crazy…happy growing
