cannabinol

Dear cannabinol,

I did not see the original un-edited version of your posts, but I will comment on what I did see.

You said, "I am not trying to get more business, so don’t come to my coffeeshops!", but on the other thread you also said, "99 % of dutch smokers use tobacco in their joints, makes coffeeshops veryyy empty..."
“You should have read a post a little bit further down, where I answer to a question asked. Peace seeker asked:
i guess the economic crisis has something to do with that as well
not so much for the locals, but for the tourist industry in general
I answered:
“Not at all, in fact, the crisis made more people unemployed, so they have more time to smoke a joint, but no longer in the coffeeshop because in most of them there is an active tobacco ban. This means people buy their desired products and do not order a drink to go with their tobacco joint. We sell more weed, but we sell less drinks, the higher weedsales compensate the loss of bar sales.
We are not relying on tourism, they usually show up when my regulars are on a holiday, so we can spend time on them.
Tourism is down 40% in Amsterdam, I am sure the coffeeshops there will notice that big time. “
This shows a couple of things. I am not complaining about my business at all, and we do not uphold the smoking ban, so we have business as usual. It also shows my colleagues in Amsterdam need more business. My places are not empty, I was referring to the situation in general.”
You also said, "Yahooka was the first cannabis forum I joined, used it to launch te 'Dope-deal-webcam from my coffeeshop."
“True, those were the days, it was also my first computer, first webcam, aaah…
In those days, all new links were welcome, so please do not hold that against me.”

And, "and about our cannabis friendly mini-resort in Spain, which will be opening soon."
“Yes, maybe because I am a little proud it is finally going to happen, is that so wrong, I did not ask people to book, we are pretty full already.”

To me, all those things make me feel you are promoting your own personal business interests. That equals spam.
“You took your stance, Thank you for being straight forward.”

Now, on the other hand, your blog was informative and interesting. I too, am/was curious to the workings of a coffeeshop.

The mods, in my opinion, are great. If a mod edited your post wrongly, then oh well. They do this for free. I'm sure you have seen the crap that goes on in here. They are most definitely over-worked as well.

If you had been more consistent of a poster, over the years, I feel you might have gotten more lee way with your blog. As it is, I feel that you are using Yahooka to advertise your businesses.
“The crap you are mentioning made me stay away, I did not feel like being able to contribute much to topics such as resin from bowls and smoking dried Ritalin. Some businesses just do not need advertising, I apologize for causing the impression I was advertising mine. ”

Having said all that, I do hope you will stick around. I think you have important things to share and personally, I like seeing more wrinkles in the forums.
“Thank you for your kind words….”

With kindness,
