Allow myself to introduce...myself

hey
i decided to make a profile so i could show some gratitude for all the great info and people here
this is how i ended up here
a very naive friend got caught up in an "advance fee" scam. I'm good at computers so they sent me a link to a shipping service site because the tracking number they got wasn't working. The site was totally bogus and looked like it was set up just to help scammers sell the story that they've actually mailed off the "product"
after a few google searches i find out the site is most commonly used by fake dog breeders so i asked them why they were buying dogs off the internet, but actually they were trying to buy mushrooms -_-
then i asked the question i was dreading asking, "how much money have you sent this person"
initially a little over 200 for "the product" and then after it was "mailed off" and "the product" arrived in their state they were informed that the person at the mail depot needs 500 (refundable upon delivery of course) to put a stamp on it because suspicious packages are being inspected and the stamp will let the authorities know that it has already been inspected.
so even if this wasn't fraud it would be a scam
i asked them why they were paying money for something that grows in poop for free. of course they had no idea what that meant so i tried to explain it but realized that was the extent of my knowledge so off i googled
thats when i stumbled upon the absolute mountain of information on growing and cultivation
so to make them feel better i promised to learn as much as i could and try my hand at cultivation. i joked that with half a spore syringe and a couple bags of Ben's Only 90 second rice i could recoup the losses
we'll see how it goes
with all the great information and support i have no excuse
thats my story and im sticking to it

Hi, yes it does. Hopefully we'll be able to look back on this and laugh and then look at our hands and laugh and then look at the walls melting and laugh and listen to music and laugh, etc etc
this has been a fun experience learning all these new things
i will be sure to keep everyone updated on my progress in the appropriate threads
