Tell me that if we put our minds together we could not find a way of making enough money to buy this island.
21 acres for 440,000. Now that is an awesome price. Look at the link and tell me what you think.
Peace, Droz

Shroomery Island Thread #4628739 here we go!
That does look quite gorgeous.
Of course, the average age of a Shroomerite is probably 16-24, and the average income, well, laughable, probably, as far as buying an island is concerned.

That island would be under Nicaraguan law:
http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_985.html
Penalties for possession, use, or trafficking in illegal drugs in Nicaragua are severe, and convicted offenders can expect long jail sentences and heavy fines.
The counternarcotics efforts of the National Police are relatively weak, but the drug problem in Nicaragua appeared to be modest as of 1993. Although firm evidence is lacking, cocaine use is described as substantial. The only local drug produced are from small plots of marijuana, which is consumed domestically. Nicaragua is on an overland drug transit route from South America to the United States via the Pan American Highway, and drug movement by ship has been suspected through both Caribbean and Pacific ports. The effectiveness of drug law enforcement has been limited, although a law was passed in 1992 to authorize the establishment of an antinarcotics unit in the National Police.
Can't find news on drug policy in Nicaragua much more recent than the mid-90's.

is the government in power now the same one the U.S. helped to install many years ago? Does the U.S. have its paws in Nicaragua, in otherwords?

Man, I didn't realize how quickly the deadline was coming up for Project Carribe, initiated over four years ago between myself, TheInvizibleMan, Zero__Glass, and the root-ninja-tak.
Better start allocating them funds!

maybe im too optimistic, but i bet we could pull it off if we truly wanted.. or atleast start funding for it.. maybe collect yearly donations and shit..
it would be awesome, but not very realistic.

It's a lot easier to get along with people on a website than an island, just remember that.

You'll just have to buy the island, build housing, and be our landlord and savior.
