Fedx me some buds once in awhile since they are good for my glaucoma or cataracts or whatever I have. Not only would you be helping the Earth but the cost of this medication has been getting expensive the past ten years you would be helping a fellow american.

Screw trees, plant cannabis.
Errr what does this have to do with anything? Again how do I know this person will even plant anything? Just have faith in my common man. You feel confident that he would send you some buds because you gave him 100 dollars . Get real. He will ********* over the second he has the green in his hand and you would have no one to blame but yourself for throwing away your hard earned money on someone who has no reputation.

Um, maybe he didn't answer because those things are off-topic... If you want to talk about them, feel free to start your own threads...

Photoshop is so easy.

Yep he doesn't mind. He is an amateur landscaper so he would actually welcome it. And we do have enough land for the amount of trees I can afford.

It's not about what I like or dislike. It's about what you said. Here - I'll recap for you:
