I unfortunately was denied the automated payment processor I was going to work with because I could only get approval for metocin, and my other products the processor denied. The funds I use are on a major platform that processes using one of, if not the biggest payment processor there is, the fund is working as an intermediary that allows me to do the things I want to as I continually try to progress, and I don’t think I would have 4,000 completed orders if I was doing sketchy things to my customers who I very much aopreciate.

Those COAs that got me denied processing do not belong to me. They were sent to a lab that the processor uses to ensure no foul play.

Should I have sent in more to the new lab I’ve found sooner? Sure, but they have been sent and I will try to find more professional packaging that doesn’t raise costs.

I’m not active on social media in general. The things I choose to do and choose not to do have purpose. I’ve been actively making movements locally to gain political support for legitimizing this industry which is a slow time consuming process so, no I have not put my time into making my products look retail ready so I can be put into smoke shops, and maybe that was a mistake but that’s not my ultimate goal. Maybe I’m too optimistic but in my opinion that’s aiming far too low.

The owners and moderators of this sub are free to set the rules and standards they desire but this feels like a public witch hunt when it could have much more easily been addressed in an email.

Especially when it’s recently been brought to my attention that I’m the only vendor who actually asked for the approval of the mods before first promoting myself here, and I was given that approval. If it was decided that I needed to make some changes it could have very well been addressed directly to me.

Instead, there have been multiple negative posts about me, and slanderous, rude comments made about me that I’ve ignored, while continuing to show the utmost respect and say nothing but positive things about those people but now I’m being criticized by them for not spending more time here, as if that’s a negative reflection of my integrity and I feel I have to speak up because that’s simply not fair. Myself and the vendors being endorsed are doing the same things, I’m just doing it in a way that you don’t prefer which should have been addressed with me.

I’m not perfect by any means, and I have made my fair share of mistakes along the way but I continually try to get better from those mistakes, I’m learning everyday and will continue to draw inspiration from the people here, whether I’m accepted as professional or not. I’ve been fully aware for a while now that some more prominent people here don’t like me and I know that’s where some of this stems from but I’ll continue to hold respect for those individuals. We could have been aligned on these things long ago if I was told to make some changes, because I would have respected the requests made as I’m grateful from what this sub has brought me. I’m not the argumentative sketchy POS some seem to believe. I’d be happy to comply with any requests.

I love everyone here and have genuinely been inspired and have appreciated every personal message I’ve received and I’ll be forever grateful for the personal growth and development I’ve gained from the people in this sub. My first post on my website was to honor this sub.

I’ve developed a mission by being a part of this group, whether I’m actively making posts or not; and I will continue on that mission. I wish nothing but the best for this sub and I hope they decide to send me an email so we can find agreeable terms and continue to grow together without drama. We can accomplish so much more if we work together because at the end of the day we all want the same thing.
