well chris is advertising banners on read4cash for a drug site and he allowes members at the age of 13 to use his site.



I would post the link but I dont want kids from here to view it!!

in some countries it is and others are working on making it illegal and the site has pot leaves all over it.
site clearly states that they sell stuff to get hi with which a lot of teens would love to get their hands on.

I would like to get my hands on it LOL! Just kidding...but woah...if that is true that is stooping very low...

if you try to type c.r.a.p. is makes it into "hi"

Woah...That is pretty low. Pot leaves all over the front ??

PM me that link, please.

I've had enough of this juvenile "hi" [hehehe]. I haven't got anything against Chris, but he's not thinking straight.

Can we collectively help him recollect his priorities???

Can anyone say "ETHICS"???!!???

Isn't he under 18 himself????

Can someone PM me the link as well. I'm curious about this as well.

As far as priorities, ya can't help someone who doesn't want to listen! Is there an option for "drugs" int he interests? That is really bad.

Why is it that there is always complaint after complaint about one of chris sites surley he can get the message start looking after them. Give me one LOL

Justin

LOL I am also curious..please PM the link to me too...I personally don't want that "hi" hanging around for children to see.

There's gotta be some law about this. This is off topic, but Deathstalker, is your name after the Owen Deathstalker series??

I'm sure there probably is a law, but I am not sure what country he is in either...even so I'm sure there is somewhere to report it.

the name is from the deathstalker spider lol it a funnel web spider deadly poison

I believe that he is in the UK.

btw.. that RatingPets site in mvanantwerpen's siggy is awesome! LMAO

Well, well, well.

I looked at the site, it's for an herbal substitute folks. No pot leaves here. However, you do have to be 18 to purchase it.

It's an "alternative" to pot. It's USA legal it says, I also think you can plant the stuff. They grow it here in NM according to one reference. Of course, the DEA also busts people up in Northern NM regularly for growing pot, too!

"Salvia Divinorum is a perenial herb in the mint family native to certain areas of the Sierra Mazateca region of Oaxaca, Mexico. It is one of 500 species of Salvia in the New World is in similar to the sage plant. The plant grows in large groupings to well over 3 feet in height. It?s large green leaves, hollow square stems and flowers are it's characteristic features. S. Divinorum is one of several vision-inducing plants employed by the Mazatec Indians

There has been a recent interest among young adults and adolescents to re-discover ethnobotanical plants that can induce changes in perception, hallucinations, or other psychologically-induced changes. Since S. Divinorum, or any of its active ingredients are not specifically listed in the Controlled Substances Act, some on-line botanical companies and drug promotional sites have advertised Salvia as a legal alternative to other plant hallucinogens like mescaline. The plant material is smoked for the induction of "mystical" or hallucinogenic experiences.

Illicit Uses

Salvia is being smoked to induce hallucinations, the diversity of which are described by its users to be similar to those induced by ketamine, mescaline, or psilocybin. It is being widely touted on internet sites aimed at young adults and adolescents eager to experiment with these types of substances.

User Population

The user populations, thus far, seems limited to younger adults and adolescents influenced by the promotion of the drug on internet sites

Illicit distributed

Salvia Divinorum is grown domestically and imported from Mexico, and Central and South America.

Control status

Salvia Divinorum, Salvinorin A, and Divinorin A are not listed in the Controlled Substances Act."

OK, so not in NM officially, but I bet ya they do. My great aunt used to grow opium poppies in Santa Fe...

Salvia is a widespread family anyhow.

The point is, he's not looking at what he's promoting.

If he targets these mails to areas where it's legal to do this, then I guess he can.

Ugh.

Horrors! I revealed that I know what a pot leaf looks like! EEk!

you must need glasses because there are pot leaves.

any site that offers the user a hi in comparason to pot should not be allowed

when i was a teen i would have been stock piling that stuff it says you have to be 18 but everyone know there is no way for them to know for sure

Well, hm, maybe I missed them. There are leaves, but not the scraggly pointy pot kind. I didn't look THAT closely. I must have missed them.

I agree, I wouldn't want my kids to see it, however, if they did, they'd know (if they were that age) that I'd kill them if they ordered it. Of course, at that age, I think they will be smoking my cooking rosemary just to try it, but still...

Kinda like porn. Seeing it won't ruin them for life, but my foot up their hind end might if I caught them with it or caught them practicin' with someone else....

Well, Chris, if you are around, try keeping it on the wholesome side.

Might not be pot...but it's still something underage kids should not have access to in my opinion. Pot or pot substitute, either way it's a drug.

True. But they can find it by searching the net. The issue is whether or not Chris KNOWS he's promoting it, and if he will STOP if he does.

There's no accountability in this business....

Welllllllll, if you have to be 18 to buy it, shouldn't you have to be 18 to SELL it? Well, I guess technically he's just advertising it. But, if I recall, he's under 18 himself, though I may be mistaken. I'm not in his sites, but I think I read it here somewhere.

He's in the UK. Different laws.

And yup, I missed the pot leaves. And the nekkid girly picture. Sheesh.

Well, I for one do not know what to do. I disapprove, but what does he care about MY opinion???

Sigh, I shall go look up a list of his darn sites.

By the way, for any underage lurkers, smoking rosemary does NOT get you high. The volatile oils in it CAN get you hospitalized, tho'!

my point is he is making the site easy for young members to get to some that may not be even thinking about pot I know i sure was not thinking about it til I went to his site.

what adults do is there business but handing it to kids is something else

Agreed. We are discussing it in the Program Owners Folder too.

OK, last item of order is

DID ANYONE BOTHER TO MAKE SURE CHRIS KNEW HE WAS RUNNING AN OBJECTIONABLE AD??

lol, I didn't think of that either... If he didn't know, and many PO's don't check all the ads very carefully (happened to me, too) then he needs to.

How he reacts will be the key to what WE should think about it.

i sent an email threw the contact page. I have sent emails in the past that went unanswered that is why i posed it here first since he seams to always be around here.

Oh and all you little kiddes can stop P.M. ing me you are not getting the link

I live in the netherlands and Cannabis is legal here. Also as a medicine and can be received (paid by insurance) when in severe pain.

It also seems to help against certain eye- problems.

In the USA lots of people became blind the last 20 years since the government denies them the use of Cannabis.
And a lot of them fled to the Netherlands to get proper medical treatment.

So: to all those people who get very upset by advertisemenst like these I want to recommend: You should try it yourself at least once before you try it.

Also: addictive behaviour is not caused by social problems: Scientist have discovered many years ago that addictions start because an"error" in the brains.

If kids of 13 years old want to smoke pot and use the internet, they will find it anyway: They know there way on the net better then most adults do.

Wouldn't it make more sense to complain directly to the Program Owner if you are offended by a particular ad? Then if you're unhappy with the response, bring the issue to a public forum.

Yes Program Owners should be aware of the content of ads they send out.

I'm not sure about the legal issues involved with sending out ads for these types of products. According to one of the sites I viewed (probably not the one in the ad -- I just Googled it), the product is illegal here in Australia. Chris is in the UK, where as far as I know, the product is legal, as it is in most other countries in the world. Are there any legal issues with him sending the ad to members in Australia? I have no idea. Do you?

As for the issue with minors, the Read4Cash TOS says minors must have parental consent to join. If a parent gives their consent for their child to join the site, then they also have a responsibility for what that child is exposed to as a member of the program.

Personally, I don't have an issue with the product that was advertised. I don't find it any more offensive than many other products, services and programs I see advertised in PTRs.

Cheers,

Wil

Sorry just got back from a short weekend break, i had not realised it was a cannabis site i was under the impression it was a smoking site, i have therefore logining into all admins and deleting it immediatly

I must sincerely apologize for any hurt, inconvienence and stress

I will keep a much closer eye on banners and ptc, i do always check ads but not clicks and banners very very sorry

a full apology will be sent at every site the banner is setup at

ok all ads are deleted

and this apology has been sent on all sites that had the banner:

Hi

I made a massive mistake just before I went away a few days ago, I put a Cannabis and Drug site up in the PTC area, I myself do not agree with this sort of thing and I am disgusted at myself at it being on my sites. I was under the influence it was a smoking website.
I apologize for any hurt or distress caused by this matter. I will be checking ads more carefully from now on

Sorry
ChrisCool


and again i must apologize i am so upset about this aswell

Going to be very blunt!. Theirs a few people in this forum that are just nasty, just waiting to strike a blow below the belt on someone they have a conflict with.


chris cool advertises drug sites, How low will he sink

The question is how low is the starter of this thread, to even post something like this.

Did you try contacting him before posting with joy with this oportunity to degrade chris and attack him. Some of you people are plain sick with meaness.


Theirs been more then one site who have sent objectivable emails or have ran objectibale banners. They didn't do it by intent, almost all were CONTACTED before
attacking their character. Funny how chris was just attack!!!!!!!

deathstalker you got a personal anger problem with chris, no other reason why you would SINK SO LOW to even start a thread like this.

You owe chris and every member of this forum a apology. Question is now if your mature enough to do so.

Even if it were a smoking website - is it appropriate for children?

And, even if parents are monitoring their child's internet activities - do you always know which website you're going to by clicking on a link? Some programs send just the paid link ....

Just my opinion ~

No, don't start me on this one.

Can't remember the name of that terrible, terrible women who put the deaththreads on the packages.
I hate her so much.
