Overgrow.com Busted, Servers Seized!

[IML8RU2]

In Canada it's only legal if it is prescribed for medical purposes. It's illegal to buy anywhere except at specified places and you basically can't smoke it without a doctors note. That being said - just try and get busted for it. You have to be in the big time before the police start worrying about you here. They can't even keep up with busting the grow-ops they know exist.

Think about who's fault that would be. How would they be able to pay for it?

The stuff was not sold on the site. It only hosted a (large) faq on growing, a strain database that linked to seed banks, and a gallery for the users.

Shame to see it go.

What a ++++ing joke. There was nothing illegal going on, on that site.

Well yeah, I guess telling people how to grow it is illegal too.

There can be a High price for this sort of thing

From all reports, it appears the operators of Overgrow.com were arrested for some other, yet unknown (likely growing), reasons, and that Overgrow.com was collatoral damage.

I have to wonder if Jelsoft is going to distance itself and remove the credit to Overgrow from future versions of Vbulletin.
