I have just opened an online store that sells decals, cutom design and other arty stuff, with a psychedelic bent. I am wondering what the policy here is regarding the business ventures of members. I am marketing, am doing so for the purpose of making money, but am also setting aside donations (3% of total sales) to go to individuals and orgs making a difference in local communitues that are vetted but not listed as non-profits; so it's not just pure capatalism and may align a little with the ideals here.

What can I post without running afoul? I'd love some folks here to patronize my business, and really think a lot of you would like what is offered. However, maintaining the integrety of this place is paramount.

Also, I am sure I'm not singular in entrpeneurship, would there be room here to discuss responsible, ethical and psychedelic businesses and how to maintain and run them? I'm talking about ventures OTHER than the seemingly most common one among us-that being a so-called facilitator of psychedelic experiences. I want to talk about "legitimate" and legal things, not how to get around the laws but rather how to be sucessful and responsible with the money we make.

If you want me or one of the mods could message Trav, or if you'd want to message him yourself that's cool also.

Or unless Trav sees the post here and comments, or one of the mods may know more than me && comment.

Also if nothing gets said about this and this thread gets brought to the wayside then we could always note you wanting to do this in the mods section.

We love to support Nexian based businesses, and based on what you've said, I don't foresee any issues with letting you do so. Do keep in mind the doxxing aspect and how comfortable you are associating your personal business with this forum and your identity on it. You might consider creating an alternate account specifically for the business (Oneiros Glass is one that has done it this way).

Ultimately Trav makes these decisions, so the protocol is to reach out to him, let him check out the site, and see if he is okay with you letting you promote it here.

Thanks for asking first. I'd love to check it out if you'd be willing to pm me a link.

Thanks, y'all. This kind of advice is very welcome, thanks. Setting up another account is a great idea. I'd love for one of you to get Trav's attention.
