Try countries where marijuana is legal, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legali...bis_by_country

Selling illegal drugs? oh that's not nice. Don't do harmful thing to the society
|
| Posted by bear, 05-04-2017, 09:36 PM | |
Only where it's illegal.

Country like Portugal allowed it and considered as legal and some doctors said it is good medicine :-) , go figure.

Yes they are traditional doctors. Marijuana also affects brain development. When people begin using marijuana as teenagers, the drug may reduce thinking, memory, and learning functions and affect how the brain builds connections between the areas necessary for these functions. Marijuana's effects on these abilities may last a long time or even be permanent. Keep away from Marijuana ...

Funnily enough according to that Wikipedia article @Julien@Hostabulous posted selling it is still illegal in Portugal though, while in Germany sales are allowed with proper legal permission. Dealing with lawyers gave me a headache though, maybe i need that medical marijuana stuff
Depends on what you mean by "small marijuana site" i guess. If it's advocacy, just marijuana related site without any sales or anything related to financial transaction i think hosting wherever should be fine, otherwise make sure you got all your ducks in a row with a lawyer and find out where you can host it legally.

Oh, I do not use drugs and I do not even smoke.
I do not just believe to believe.

I'm just joking

This thread seems like it ready to go while.
Really, in order for anybody to honestly this this thread, OP will have to specify what his/her site will be about, and what is the sole intention of the site.
You can host a site about Marijuana anywhere, but if your selling it on the site makes a game changer.

How about Netherlands? or California?

It matters more where you as the proprietor live. If you are not complying with local laws for both yourself and the customer you are going to be exposing yourself to prosecution. It's nasty stuff google Marc Emery, if you're trying to do a MoM site and you're not living in a district where it's legal, and you have papers to do so, and you're going to be selling to (anybody) I would recommend against it. Just common sense really. Has nothing to do with where your website is hosted, I don't think any white hat ISP is going to allow you to internationally traffick drugs knowingly.

It's a gray area in my country and fully legalized next year so not really. What's hilarious is you calling marijuana harmful, yet I use it for my pain and have it prescribed. Please read up on it and stop spreading propaganda as it makes you sound like a shill.
Thanks to everyone else, I'm curious if netherlands still allows this. When I check whois on most of the sites that have marijuana things in my country they lead to servers at hostgator and all the other crappy ones. I think that's a ridiculous risk mosti admins are taking but like I said it's a gray area in my country. It's illegal but cops don't know how to handle it because of legalization next year

I guess it all depends on what the purpose of your site will be.. Then you can start to narrow down locations and hosts. Is it going to be a informational site only or are you going to sell products?
|
| Posted by degamega, 05-05-2017, 08:57 AM | |
Any host recommendations?
|
| Posted by degamega, 05-05-2017, 08:58 AM | |
Sell a product, not marijuana flower but very closely related
|
| Posted by rpoarch, 05-05-2017, 09:12 AM | |
What is the closely related product? You may be able to host in the states depending on what the product is (and if it's legal or not). You can sell pipes, glass pipes, and etc here in the states either in store, or online. So it depends on what the product is. Without you telling us, it's hard for us to really say.

| Posted by bear, 05-05-2017, 09:26 AM | |
I think you meant "can't" there.
|
| Posted by rpoarch, 05-05-2017, 09:39 AM | |
No I meant can. There are local stores here in North Carolina that sell pipes, grinders, water pipes, etc. They classify them for tobacco use, but everyone knows what they are used for.
|
| Posted by bear, 05-05-2017, 09:44 AM | |
Including the police.

Though old, it still applies. If it looks like pot supplies, it's treated as such.
|
| Posted by rpoarch, 05-05-2017, 09:47 AM | |
That's weird because there is a store literally less than a mile from my office that sales pipes, bongs, grinders, etc. The name is Octopus Garden. Even a gas station connected to a Burger King here sales them. Like I said though, it is intended for tobacco use, but they sale them on a daily basis and never had any problems (atleast that I'm aware of). They do have signs up though stating that if you mention marijuana, or illegal drugs they will not sale you any "tobacco pipes".

Whoever you choose make sure to walk close to their rules and guidelines. Take a close look on the rules to see if your product comes under legal products or illegal. Just like marijuana is illegal in many countries but fertilizers for the same isn’t illegal.
|
| Posted by HostLeet, 05-05-2017, 09:58 AM | |
If that's the case you will need a host that is located in a place where the sale of such products is 100% legal, AND also the servers (DataCenter) as well. If your hosting company is based/located somewhere were such products are legal to sell, but their servers are located in a place where they're not, then you're still going to have some problems. And remember it is always best to contact the host directly with your concerns and consult an attorney for legal advice.
Good luck with your search.

Here in Oklahoma, you can buy it all for pot; however, it's legal because its sold either for novelty or tobacco.
|
| Posted by marries143, 05-06-2017, 08:39 AM | |
I agree with everyone, you should find a host where the selling of marijuana is legal so you won't have any problems. I have encountered alot of people lately selling marijuana products claiming they are legal growers and also are looking for hosts for their site .
|
| Posted by bear, 05-06-2017, 08:56 AM | |
So you can't actually buy it all for pot, it's labeled novelty or tobacco use only.
Back in the day, well before legalization efforts, stores were allowed to sell rolling papers like Zig Zag brand, as long as they didn't state it was for pot (package generally said cigarette papers). Nothing has changed. Get caught with that pack of legally bought papers, be prepared for the rousting of a lifetime while they look for your "tobacco".

Thanks for the answers guys, I just went back to one of the forums I used to use back in the day and found a list of about 30 hosts that ignore dmca's and are fully anonymous with just bitcoin payment. If anyone is ever looking go to BHW hosting section.

| Posted by asgard, 05-06-2017, 02:41 PM | |
No offence, but I find that very hard to believe....especially since your last post totally tells me your site is gonna have illegal content.
If it wasn't illegal content, you wouldn't look for anonymous hosts who ignore dmca and have bitcoin payment.
|
| Posted by mjfleming, 05-06-2017, 03:02 PM | |
Actually I suspect I know where you are. Either way you should comply with your local goverment before all else. Sounds like there is no framework in place for commercial sales as yet, and if so you would be operating outside the law. There wouldn't be much grey area legally, the grey area is in whether or not the State wants to waste money and mitigate the optics of prosecuting someone under soon to be defunct prohibition.
Best of luck. Might want to inquire with a lawyer as to how a leigitmate business can maintain anonymous or offshore transaction records, just in case things were to ever go back to the way they were.

I had to come in this thread to see where it would go.
I don't do it and never have. Just me...but I know many that are all about the 420, cheeba cheeba, and all that good stuff as they call it
But to your links...when I was on tour doing a couples in Vancouver BC, there was a weed store. All of us looked at it like ?!?!?!?!?!??!?!? and just had to visit it to see what was up. The owner was there...really nice older gentleman.
We asked how this was allowed. He said his store has moved a few times within the town, but it's allowed because it falls into a grey area. He said most people who smoked weed would be hungry after and go to the restaurants to satisfy that hunger. So even though some of those businesses wanted the weed store to close, it kept them in business and they didn't complain. This was around 2005. I don't know if the store is still there. Also with all the recent weed laws in many places, I could see some confusion in figuring this out.
