I've just looked into few of these shop accepting potcoin and wtf is that m.o.m. website, isn't it illegal to ship marijuana by mail?
In the US, yes... not in British Columbia.
AGAIN... US laws don't apply to the whole world, and cryptocurrencies were designed to be global.

And i know they were designed to be global, as i'm writing again i thought that bussniess is from US.
Too many people are caught up in legality. Technically speaking marijuana is still illegal in Colorado and Washington states. And not only that the U.S. federal government's official stance is that marijuana is a schedule 1 drug, and has no medical benefits.

There is no such thing as medical marijuana as far as the federal government is concerned, its all illegal. Yet 22 states (plus DC) sell it anyways.
Its a gray area right now in the US, but the fact is that it will be legal soon, and in a number of other places too. The "legality" argument for vendors accepting potcoin is nitpicking. This is a coin for marijuana, an industry that is still illegal in most of the world. We all know what that means. As a customer, you know and understand the risks when you pay with potcoin.
