+Gustav129 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I got an email from Oakcoins/Geoswag for a Pot or Pot geocoin for Geowoodstock. Although it is partially legal in certain states, it's still illegal federally. Am I the only one is is upset about this? Link to comment
+Great Scott! Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 It's just a coin. They're not trying to sell you marijuana. Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 As Great Scott! says, it's only a coin.. I wouldn't add it to my collection, but others probably would - The times, you know... Guess I missed where pot's now okay, but I'm a $^&*# for having a marlboro. Link to comment
+MtnMutt-ProDuckShins Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 It seems this is a Tradable/Puzzle piece. I don't think it will catch on but you never know. Link to comment
+Droo Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) Wait... it's not even the official Geowoodstock coin. But given that the event is taking place in Denver where pot has been legalized why get upset if someone wants to make their own coin to celebrate that fact?

+Gustav129 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 It's federally illegal, and some of those laws still apply to CO, WA, etc. Link to comment
+Manville Possum Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Where do I get one of these for my collection? Link to comment
+kunarion Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Guess I missed where pot's now okay, but I'm a $^&*# for having a marlboro. Where can I get cigarette Geocoins? Maybe from the years when tobacco was pronounced to be medicine. People sure were gullible, way back when. Link to comment

I know it's a hard concept to follow, but believe me, it really does work. Link to comment

+Manville Possum Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) What really blew my mind is the OP is in Alanta, GA and owns geocaches in Idaho and Washington. Edited May 22, 2016 by Manville Possum Link to comment
+Gustav129 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Why is that funny? I just moved back to my home town a couple months ago afterbeing in CDA, ID for 16 years. Link to comment

+Gustav129 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Nice edit to take the "I find it funny" out of your original post. There are people who can maintain them. Just like how my brother still has some in Atlanta, yet he lives in Minneapolis now. Link to comment
+Cachez Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I don't understand. Is the coin considered illegal/offensive because it has drug connotations? Link to comment

Just like how my brother still has some in Atlanta, yet he lives in Minneapolis now. You are mis-quoting me intentionally. I only edited the emoticon. It's okay to own listings in other States that others maintain for you. I prefer to maintain my own listings, but whatever works for you, it's none of my concerns. I'm sure that some geocachers were offended by the Tincup Whiskey trackables promotion here as well as this pot geocoin that you speak of. As a collector, I would be interested in one.

YEP, Only a Geocoin and with MY experience, I know that IF one makes it, and it is "different" sort of a novelty, THEY WILL BUY IT Link to comment

I Know it has been awhile since I have been here. BUT, why would caches even be mentioned on this "GEOCOIN" Forum??? Maybe I am missing something Here. Link to comment

Even the Justice Department doesn't appear to be too concerned with what the State's do: Federal Enforcement Policy Link to comment
+nevadanick Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 The coin is a Geoswag project coin and is NON-trackable. It does not need GC approval and it will have your preferred ID name. As with all coins ... don't like it ? - don't buy it ! I save my voice for where I put my $$$ - I'm NOT participating .... Link to comment

+Manville Possum Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 The coin is a Geoswag project coin and is NON-trackable. That's a game changer. That makes it a token and not a geocoin. Geocoins are trackable on Groundspeak. Link to comment

Geocoins are trackable on Groundspeak. Now there's another can of worms to open (whether trackability makes something a geocoin or not). I recall some very heated debates about that very topic in the past. Thanks to everybody for keeping what could be a very sensitive topic on-track gang. Link to comment

+Eartha Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 And there you have it, it's non-trackable, so I'm closing this thread. Link to comment
