New Product... Disclaimer? Legal?

[jasonkole]

What is the name of your state? California

I am interested in selling a downloadable product online.
It will be a guide i am going to write on how to grow marijuana indoors.

What i need to know is:

- Is it legal for me to sell this guide on the internet to people in the U.S. and other countries?

- Do I need some sort of disclaimer if i do sell it. If yes, How would i obtain someone to write this disclaimer and what would be a normal price for something like this?

Is there any other legal procedures i would need to do in order to sell a guide of this sort on the internet.

Thanks,
Jason

This sounds like a really bad idea (although, I'm SURE it sounded great in the smoke filled room in which the idea was born!)

Hundred of similar products to yours exist.

How do they handle this?

Ahhh, the old "everybody else is doing it" defense.

You have rights under the first amendment. In the U.S. I don't even think a simple disclaimer would be necessary. As to other countries, as long as you don't travel there, I think it unlikely you would be extradited to answer any charges which would stem from this.

However, even without looking, I bet there are a bazillion websites and guides which are available for free for doing such a thing. Why would anyone pay for your knowledge on this? Growing something called a weed can't be that tough.

No, the old steal somebody else's pseudo-disclaimer as a jumping off point.

You are correct there are just a few sites that offer this service.

Results 1 - 10 of about 70,800 for how to grow marijuana indoors. (0.22 seconds)

Only 78,000? That's nearly a gramillion less than I thought there would be.

I had to make it a quick search. I didn’t want the bells and alarms going off at work for to long.

It amazes me the number of people who post here who think a "disclaimer" will help them!
