WEEDTRACKER RULES & REGULATIONS

Also consider questions about the location of specific strains or other products that meet you medical needs.
1.2) Medical Marijuana Strains
- Discussion about strains can include, names, genetics, origins, Co-Ops who have clones available. If you need more information about growing, please click here for a Google search that will assist you better than we can.
1.3) Medical Marijuana Co-Ops
- Discussion about the Co-Ops can include your likes, dislikes, opinions, feedback and suggestions. You can express your opinion, just dont do it in a explitive filled insulting rant and rave because that doesnt help anybody improve their quality or service. Constructive criticism works the best for everybody even if its negitive.

- Discussion of the current state of the law in California and Nationally.
1.5) Medical Marijuana Activism
- Protest, meetings, gatherings, and court support.

Infractionable Offenses: The following are not allowed and will result in warnings, infractions, and bans.
First Offense: Warning
Second Offense: Infraction
Third Offense: Temporary Ban
Fourth Offense: Permanent Ban
2) Inappropriate Discussion Topics: Public & Private
2.1) Personal Information: Names, Ages, Addresses, Phone Numbers,
Descriptions, Photographs, etc.
- People dont want their personal information made public. This includes descriptions of "cute" girls and boys. People like their privacy and if you decribe them as "cute" or "hot" or whatever there is the possibility that they are going to be harassed by other people who want something from them. If your hot for the door guy or girl, tell them in person, you dont need to do it here. We want to respect the privacy and security of our users as much as possible so we ask that if you must exchange personal information you do it by private message.
2.2) Politics other than those related to Medical Marijuana.
- Politics are a volitile issue. Everybodys got their opinions and often those opinions come attached with profanities and insults to the people who disagree with your opinion. Thats not productive, nobody is going to want to support your cause if they think all the supporters are lunitics who yell and scream and shout insults at those who disagree.
2.3) Religious discussion of any kind. No Religious use of Cannabis
discussions.
- Similar to politics, Religion is a personal issue and we would prefer if you just keep your relationship or lack of relationship with God to yourslef while on WeedTRACKER.
2.4) Sexist, Racist or other derogatory subject matter. This includes
"Hot or Not" type threads (ie. "which Co-op has the hottest employees" type threads, etc.)
- This is an extension of the personal information. We dont want people to feel like they are being harassed or stalked because they work at a co-op or dispensary and the users think their "hot." This isnt a dating site, its a medical site and we would prefer to stay on the topic of Medical Marijuana.
2A) General Spam & Spammed Advertisements
This section is pretty self explainitory, we all agree that this stuff is generally in bad taste and should not be done on WeedTRACKER.
2A.1) No Co-Op product reviewing by Co-Op owners or employees
2A.2) No Co-Op product reviewing by paid outside reviewers
2A.3) No Co-Op product reviewing by the products vendor

2A.7) No Advocating or mentioning one club in another club's forums
2B) Bumping & Adding No Content to Threads
2B.1) No posting anything but smilies
- You can do better than that. It doesnt take much to compose a complete thought and write a sentence.
2B.2) No posting anthing but one word answers (ie: yes, no, etc.)
- Sometimes these type of answers are appropriate, but for the most part a complete sentence that exprsses a thought will go alot further than just a simple yes or no answer.
2B.3) No posting off topic or unrelated replies
- Dont you think its annoying when somebody hijacks your thread with something totally random? I thought so, so dont do it to others. If you have something to say, start a new thread.
2C) Flaming or Attacking other Members
2C.1) No sexist, racist, bigoted, or otherwise offensive posts to any other user, co-op, or co-op employee.
- If you would get fired for saying it at your day job, you probably shouldnt say it here either.
2C.2) No post that states or implies that any user is a LEO or DEA.
- Its not cool to accuse people of things that arent true. Unless you have offical documentation to back up your claim and you can post it along with your claim, then you might be able to get around this rule. Otherwise, dont do it.
2D) Inappropriate Language
2D.1) No posts that contain more foul language than content.
2D.2) No post that states or suggests that a co-op deserves or deserved to be raided.

2I) Growing or Concentrate Discussion
Why is the discussion of growing not allowed? Because this is not a Marijuana Growing website. This site is dedicated to the discussion of Medical Marijuana Co-Ops and the products they sell. Yes, I know they sell clones, but that is only a small part of their business. If you want to discuss growing, there are thousands of forums dedicated to this topic that can provide you much more information than we ever could. A simple Google seach for "Marijuana Growing Forum" will get you started in the right direction.
2I.1) No discussion of growing is allowed of any kind.
2I.2) No discussion of making concentrates is allowed of any kind.
2I.3) All post about growing or concentrate making will be closed and/ or
deleted when found.

or edibles or any other product that contains more than one item is
considered a menu.

Menus Section of WeedTRACKER.
