This is an introduction and a message from a friend who wishes to remain anonymous, Please do not try to find me, respect my wishes and i will respect yours.
I have been a part of at first the Head shop industry but then later also what many have come to term the RC industry aswell for the best part of my life.
I currently have 2 main businesses each of which i am currently trying to pass on to righteous hands (when i find them)
I am leaving this industry now to pursue a more decent life.
When i first became a part of this crazy scene almost a decade ago, things had a different reason a different purpose and even although many around us had been corrupted our industry in part remained decent.
Many that did not understand it were opposed to us, perhaps they saw the potential for corruption, perhaps they saw it like any other industry that starts out with good intentions…
They saw the potential for Money, greed and ego to corrupt,
Good intentions were once what it was all about, when the real purpose was freedom,
freedom to choose,
freedom to do,
freedom to live,
freedom to experience all of this worlds great tools.
When it was about harm reduction not profit, when education was only a conversation away, when freedom although only a stone throw away, was closely guarded by few and envied by many.
It sickens me what i have seen these 2 great industries become, as things became more accessible and the secrets became public, corrupted minds and un just souls came flooding in.
This place is now riddled with con artists, thieves, wanna be gangsters and egotistical morons.
This is not just the suppliers but the customers too, the amount of times i hear about someone conducting a stupid experiment on their pet Monkey and ending up in hospital and then they ask why or boast about it expecting praise from their equally uneducated peers.
When can people see past the money, you all blame the system, corporations, government and anyone else you can point a stick at, why don't you look inside yourselves and do something about it.
I'm not talking about violent or radical means, i just mean, talk, listen and learn. Deep down we all know this, We know we are all connected, we know we are all just one, we all just need to wake up and see whats in front of us.
Please take heed and i hope that these words get through to one lost soul.
