Good God, please DON'T do that! I agree that some of those chems may prove very worthy substitutes for existing anti-depressants and addictive painkillers, but the best thing to do would be to approach a research institute and present ALL your research to them, indicating why these would make worthy choices for proper clinical trials and slowly move to getting them into your respective countries'  Pharmacopoeia. It would be a terribly long process but a process that would work out best in the long run.

Doing it this way is just going to attract the wrong sort of attention to you and possibly lead to fatalities since most of the cannabinoids you listed have already caused fatalities in several countries. They are EXTREMELY potent and not studied at all.

Basically, you're indirectly inviting people to be their own guinea pigs. Once again, for your own safe, DON'T! There are far better, safer, legal ways to get things done. Things are slowly changing here and though the change is slow, at least the wheels are in motion.

Doing it this way would be akin to shooting yourself in the foot (with a double barreled shotgun at that).

I seriously doubt it. His response to that question was "Eh, well, you know, *mumble mumble*....*incomprehensible gibberish*"

Anyway, localbitoins banned his account from trading, just to let you guys know; for violating their policy of luring buyers away from the site and thus losing escrow protection. Quoting the site admin directly

"The user has been suspended and is not allowed to trade anymore, because he was trying to trade out of localbitcoins escrow protection."

Yup, I opened a complaint ticket right after reading @terrorblade3189's experience. I admit it and I have no qualms about it! This just is NOT right! It ruins things for the community at large. I went with him after reading articles about him in the Economic Times about him being some sort of pioneer of the Indian BTC scene in 2013. I thought he was trustworthy.

EDIT:

But please be wary that he has other related accounts. I don't know where to post this, if necessary (which thread I mean). The accounts have the same telephone/whatsapp number but list different cities from in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Telangana, all the way to Delhi.

Looking for the same. Found only one bullsh!t artist (see other thread about fraud)

The EXACT same thing happened to me last night (almost). By sheer luck, no ATM drop-box was available. After I got home, his BTC price had increased by 4000+ (in a few hours??? wtf?)

Thing is, this was supposed to be a face-to-face on localbitcoins.com. But instead of keeping up to what was advertised (ie. doing the transaction at my place, I was asked to meet him and hand him the cash and wait for acknowledgement. BUT I had to go to his website trybitcoin.in and register and do it there. So the price on localbitcoins was 18000 INR and it increased to nearly 19500 INR. Not much, difference, but it's the principle involved.

When I asked him why he left Unocoin, I did not get a proper and clear answer. This was really fishy, so I cancelled the deal on localbitcoins and reported it. (Guidelines were that users were NOT supposed to be redirected elsewhere to do transactions!) I'm an idiot for not reading that, but thank God I could NOT find a drop box on time! Then I saw this report and thought.....exact same MO!

What the hell man? I thought this guy was some bigshot and trustworthy and all???

Really depressing. And he was the only one willing to do Cash Transfers face-to-face! Now I'm stuck! Thanks a lot vikram nikkam. Your site does NOT even let me CANCEL my damn order! Your site is registered to a GMAIL address. Even google reports the site as borderline in terms of trustworthiness (51%).

I don't know if anyone else has encountered this, but this was my experience yesterday and now I'm friggin paranoid about doing business in BTC n India!
