Marijuana Internet Land Grab

By on October 29, 2010 in Ideas

NY Times:

It was just about a year ago that Kevin Faler came up with his get-rich-quick marijuana scheme. No, he does not plan to sell the drug, even if Californians vote next week to become the first state in the nation to fully legalize it. He intends to sell the Internet real estate that could one day lead to marijuana Web sites.

Mr. Faler, a former police officer who once worked the narcotics beat, has registered more than 1,000 marijuana-related Internet domain names, including oddities like icecreammarijuana.com and marijuanapastry.com. And he is not the only one banking on the drug’s online future. He is part of an Internet land grab for marijuana domains by so-called domainers who hope to sell their holdings at a profit, betting that more lenient marijuana laws will eventually drive more people to the Web for their supplies, whether they are seeking seeds, bongs, recipes or drug-laced dog treats.

    Well, I hope I did a good job….it’s me Kevin! Ya know, I have to tell ya this article has spread all over the inter-net like wild fire and there seems no stopping it. The article has already been reproduced to over 2000 newspapers in and out of the country. It has main streamed across every blog and forum from here to China.

    Anyway, my name is Kevin Faler, and I have selected a few blogs to comment on. I must tell you that people really do care and do want to see some changes in the marijuana laws. And yes, we do have to be careful, probably wouldn’t be a good thing if the cops or firefighters came to work high…lol. But we really do need to narrow the scope a bit and place some easier laws on the books… basically only a infraction is Calif. but it is already wide spread…and after working major narcotics for over 10 years, in one of the largest departments in the nation…..well…I can tell ya just about everybody does it.

    Of course, I am just generalizing but that is what I have seen thus far. I am going to vote, Yes…in the morning….here in Menifee, California…..Kevin
