iPhone app is teaching u how to roll joints

[Bridgety]

Steve wants a porn-free world, but he doesn't seem to care much about a drug-free one. After all, he's a flowerpower LSD kid at heart and, technically, the Roll Your Own iPhone app doesn't promote any drug use. Nossir, it doesn't.
The app just shows how to master five rolling techniques with step-by-step videos and seventy detailed photos. And it gives you all the information you need about mixtures, papers, packing and crutches. Still, I bet many parents will not be happy to see this, especially certain governator—whose happy happy image is used to promote the app online. My bet: The Apple Store censorship machine will rethink its original decision and take this app down three minutes after I hit "Publish". [App Store via Roll Your Own via Krapps] – via Gizmodo

And what of hand rolled cigs? I have quite a few buddies who smoke loose leaf tobacco.

Lol a mega billion corporation and you think that Steve personally vets every app?

Cut the poor guy a bit of slack.......

No doubt heads will roll in due course.

they've even got an herb calculator app so you can keep track of your "herb" and prices per ounce and profit.

they say it's used for spices and such but their logo is a marijuana leaf.

people always try to cover their illegal use of items/programs by pushing the potential legal uses of the products. like 100 million bittorrent users are really sharing linux distros and drivers. or salvia is really used for spiritual enlightenment. do they think that people are really stupid enough to believe that?

This is absolutely disgusting. Bad enough that people are dumb enough to even SMOKE to begin with and now this?!?!?!?

I will be writing a letter to Apple to ask for removal of this garbage app.

I may agree with you but for those of us in the United States, it is a free country?

I also have a few friends that like to roll their own cigarettes but this app is clearly for something else and am surprised it passed through Apple security.

Even in Canada it is a free country....IMHO even more so than the US. However this is still disgusting and I contacted Apple about it. Awaiting their response.
