JLF PF "operation pipe dreams" some guy selling poppy pods on ebay...
what other vendor busts have there been?
Could the ethnobotanical vendors be a target of the insanity that is the US government?

The 'Operation Pipe Dreams' thing seems to have kinda dried up, to the extent that I've noticed...i thought the shop that I liked, High Altitude in Col, would be gone right away, but they're still there...it freaked me out bad when that shit went doen some months ago at first, and maybe just scaring people is basically the goal.

Basically the fed's based their case on the provision in paraphenalia laws that state that sales were specifically for pot smokers, because they believed that nobody "really" smokes tobacco out of the pipes, and because these places probably never sold tobacco, plus stores like heads n threads (A place roughly in my area that I've been too, along with teleropa - PS both places are still operating despite charges, just no more pipes ) are too hippielicious, selling marijuana t-shirts alongside their pipes, aha sherlock! Must be for pot! It's a bunch of BULLSHIT, but the paraphenalia laws are so written that these shops technically were in violation. The funny yet sad part about these vendors is that it seems they go under, JUST after I deal with them. I bought and recieved two spore syringes just before they got busted. Also, afoaf bought poppies online, and the poppy dealer got busted, although I can't say for sure if it was from the same supplier. Then heads n threads and teleropa get busted; what a small and fucked up country this is turning into...

none of the head shops around here carry scales anymore, and a few of them are selling their last few bongs and pipes. the cops have raided so many here (Orlando) that they are just tired of being hassled.
