I'd like to share an interaction I had with the folks at SuperCloset (Grow Boxes | Grow Rooms | Hydroponic Grow Systems) today in hopes of helping others avoid the pitfalls of conducting business with this company.

My wife and I will be relocating to Oregon in a few months and are planning to set up a Medical Marijuana grow site. We're interested in a large grow room/trailer and would be interested in discussing our options.
Thank You

Thank you kindly for your interest in our products.
We distribute our products worldwide. We are therefore governed by the most stringent laws in America, not the patchwork of lenient laws that have arisen from state to state.
Due to this, card holder or not, we are not able to knowingly provide you with one of our units if it is your intention to grow a controlled plant.
If you had an interest in growing any uncontrolled herb, spice, fruit, veggie, or plant, we would be happy to assist.
My apologies for any inconveniences this may represent.

Thank you for your reply. So...you know quite well what your products are going to be used for but the money is good so you'll continue to sell them as long as people lie to you about their intended use. I get it. We'll find a different vendor that isn't so disingenuous as to sell something that they know is predominantly used for only one thing, is specifically engineered to include features addressing the challenges associated with growing one particular thing, and which they hope will be marketed for them by the growers of one narrowly defined crop, all the while pretending that they occupy the moral high-ground and cannot sell to those very customers. I'm sure there are other vendors that will happy to earn the money that we might have spent with your company without insulting us. I'll be happy to pass on your perspective on the States' "patchwork of lenient laws" and your intimation that State Law compliant growers are somehow involved in unsavory activities that you deride even as you're cashing their checks...as long as they don't make you admit what you're doing.

I would never consider doing business with this company no matter how good their products might be. I hope this revelation is useful to someone.
