No offense, I would like to agree with you on this one, but I have to disagree with this being a 'dumbass' Craigslist post. I don't know where the fuck in Cali your from, but I'm near the San Fransisco area, Modesto, Stockton, Valley. Go to Modesto Craigslist, which is about 1-1/2 hours from the Bay Area & you will find literally dozens upon dozens of individual growers, posting ads for medical marijuana, no different then this dude. No address, no name, just a cell number... perfectly normal on Craigslist. People actually make a living off of it, people gather new customers daily off of it, I in fact met someone on Craigslist selling when I was dry once & my dealer was out of town, & I bought off her, yes 'her' it was a chick.
This is actually nothing new to me, that same chick I bought off of ended up bringing 4 oz of different strain to me, so I could pick which I liked most, she wasn't at the least bit scared that she was meeting me [a man] & had no protection, she had no problem with meeting a complete stranger, meaning she did this often. This is not out of the norm at all, I don't understand where you been the past 2 years, but this is nothing new. Again, no disrespect, just don't agree with you on this particular thread.
Like I said, dozens of people do this in my area alone, never heard of one getting jacked... or arrested.
