I bought some herbal products from International Oddities after reading their reviews and watching several online videos they provide for their customers. All bogus and lies. Product nothing like their ads, I didn't even bother trying what had I bought from them.
I wanted to contact them and there is no phone number or address to make contact. The only number they give is: [protected] which takes you to a long-long ad and then ordering line...nothing else offered, total automation, no live person or forward number.
Don't buy from them, all sugar coated flavored pressed pipe or chewing tobacco. Not real like they've describe, garbage and no contact email or phone number.
Thanks for reading my complaint.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Why on earth are all of you buying this garbage when you can now move to one of four states where real cannabis is legal? Sheesh, this isn't 1974 and what are you people? 14 year old boys? Get with the times. In a few years, it will be legal nationwide anyway and IO will be out of business of ripping newbies and the naive off.

A me and my wife ordered $250 dollars worth of IO and its just tobacco we don't smoke cigarettes. At all when I contact the 619 # the old lady told me yesterday that it was tobacco. And I know she had no reason to lie. She gave me Summers fat nasty ### number 313# and she was shocked that the lady told the truth that intact it is a high over price can of Tobacco! So this deception is legal over the Internet. I'm currently trying to contact BBB on this bogus scam wish i could had found & read these reports before we spent $250 dirty ###!
As all the other people who bought this, I was skeptical at first, and for good reason. despite the bad reviews I decided to get some anyways, and seeing if it had a flavor to it, as that what I was looking for, a flavorful smoke. (after this experience I bought a hookah and some shisha with much better results.) I smoked the bud I got from I.O. which was packaged nicely and had some nice gifts with it. (being black o resin [censored] and a roller and some pure hemp papers) after smoking half of my half oz of panama gold bud in a pipe and joints, I had a slight head-change, an actual high! but remember, that was after smoking a 1/4 oz, and lasted only about a half hour. within 3 days I smoked all of it. It had a odd flavor, not the best but better than cigarette tobacco. I also got one of the worst sore throats of my life after smoking it all. after my throat quit hurting, I ordered a hookah on ebay along with some herbal shisha. the day it arrived I assembled the hookah and loaded a bowl of the sticky gooey molasses known as shisha. the flavor was strawberry. I lighted a coal, stuck it on top of the bowl, and enjoyed a very relaxing smoke session with some friends, and the best thing about shisha is that it lasts about a half hour to an hour, depending on how fast you smoke and how much you put in the large hookah bowl. the main thing I notice between tobacco shisha and herbal shisha is how intense the flavor is, also the tobacco shisha is slightly more harsh. So, if your'e a smoker like me trying to get a flavorful smoke, buy a hookah and some shisha, get some friends, and have a good 'ol time. BTW, a little MJ on top of the shisha makes it oh so very nice. don't get fooled by I.O.'s propaganda, they are nothing but a greedy company trying to get your money with a sh!itty product.
I just wanted to THANK everyone for stopping me from purchasing from IO. I definitely will not even "try" them out. :)
I just recently moved to a small town where I don't know anyone I am a marijuana smoker and when I ran out I didn't know where else to turn since I don'tknow anyone here so I went on line and started a search and found I.O. I looked at all the products and decided on the stunk can I received my order in about 4 days and was very excited about it I opend it up and it looked nice but smelt like catnip I went ahead and rolled it up and smoked it and NOTHING no buzz plus it tasted bad and made my throat burn I totally wasted my money on this fake ### the only good thing I got from my order was the rolling device and papers the lil baggie with the sample of hash was also ### I wasted 50 bucks on this ### if they sold it on the streets theyd of gotten their assss kicked by now I was very dissapointed what a ### lie really pisses mesmooth tha f*** off
I agree IO is complete crap. If you look at the dates of the fake supporting post it's obvious the owner is only posting more lies. All of their different name sites link to each other. If you search for "legal bud" you will find what look like normal forums with posts saying how great this fake garbage is. The problem is the forums are made up by these criminals.
I've found the WHO IS info online and am in the process of filing formal complaints in the business owners state and the state the websites are hosted in. He's lucky I'm letting the law handle it.
this company is a rip off and all the comments about them being anything but are from the company itslef read all the other complaints and all the possitive comments are the same. i was STUPID enought to purchase some of thier dro it smelled like chewing tabacco and smoking it was horrible but i didnt stop because i wanted to share with eveyone out there what would happen if you did smoke the stuff for a long period of time. it made me extremely ill and i ended up going to the doctor with complaints of chest pains told him what i was trying and gave him a sample. my doc had it anilized and come to find out there are extremely harmfull chemicals in this [censor] that proplonged use can cause cancer, not reffering to the fact that it is a tabacco based product but the other [censor] they put in it so all in a nut shell if you smoke it you will die!
I finaly got my shippment and have smoked three joints and got nothing but a small buzz. im so dissapointed i didnt want to spend 30 dollars for 3 grams of the other [censor] but i guess thats what its come down to i cant afford getting busted with the real [censor] so its either smoke the fake or go sober [censor] [censor] [censor] i feel like an idiot! 75 dollars down the drain. its tastes and smells like chewing tabacco ewwww and thier customer service is extremely rude. wtf SCAM
i bought from i.o and was stupid enought to pay the extra 30 dollars for express shipping its been a week and i have yet to recieve my product but if and when i do i will let you know what i think. i have been a pot head for 12 years and had to quit because i started a family and couldnt risk getting busted and lets face it who like messing with ghetto [censor] dealers when i heard there was an alternitive thats legal i went to the smoke shop and got some... i loved it thats when i stumbled upon the web site. boy i am starting to regret it. i spent a total of 75 dollars wich i realy cant afford and now im getting the run around on my shipping. i just want to get high legally is that too much to ask?
I am stunned that IO is still in business. We need to get the word out that it is a worthless product. I have tried it and it is worthless! Why High Times accepts advertising from companies like this is beyond me. It lowers High Times's reputation in my eyes.
California Sec of State shows IO to be a california corporation active since 1998 witha PO Box 14627, Torrance CA 90503; Fred Crawford appears to be its attorney, the CA bar shows his address as 404 Torrance Blvd, Redondo Beach CA 90277; His web address is crawfordlegal.com and other info: work phone [protected]; fax [protected]; email: fred@crawfordlegal.com
This company needs to be SHUT DOWN.
DON'T BUY THIS CRAP IO IS [censor]TING EVERYONE
Bought "Krypto" and its garbage. It smells so much me and my friend agreed to febreze it because we cant stand the smell and it looks like theirs mold on the product...wow
I want my damn money back.
FYI - Anyone who has ordered from International Oddities and has discovered it is a total scam and paid by debit or credit card may call their bank or card issuer and dispute the charge. I did get a number from my bank to try to resolve the issue which is [protected] but I got voice mail for a general manager and my phone call was not returned. I encourage everyone who has been scammed to dispute the charge and hopefully you can obtain a refund. Also apparently the only "legal" product which was supposedly somewhat worthwhile K2 Blonde has been banned nationalwide as of December 19 so don't be fooled into buying anything else.
I tried it (Krypto) and it was a total ripoff. There is no way to contact the company to complain. It tasted terrible and the ONLY effect it produced was a sore throat for two days. I paid $55 for their fancy can and a "free" cigarette roller. I'm submitting a complaint to the attorney general. Maybe they can get a response out of them. Has anyone had any better luck with another company?
Bought a pack of Anti-Gravity Promo Mini Blunts. Smells like incense. I smoked one complete blunt and it had no effect on me at all.
well have 2 give it a try on proll cant aford 2 fail pist test order it a couple days ago havent got it yet but i let u know if its good or [censor] hope 4 the best
WOW! So glad I read the TRUTH about International Oddities. I was not believing what I was reading anyhow, but the pictures looked so GOOD that it ALMOST got me to buy some of that [censor] everyone says to STAY AWAY from! They post pics with pot leaves making you think it is BUD, but it obviously is NOT! They even offer you HEMP rolling papers to make you think otherwise as well...it is all [censor] from what I am reading now. How deceitful. How can this company stay in business? I read everything on their site and I could not find one honest answer to the question does this stuff you sell get ya high? No. INSTEAD it was a run around, avoiding answers to questions asked. I keep thinking there is no way in hell this can be the REAL deal. NO WAY. And their ridiculous [censor] talking in freaking wacked out ways...so Californian it is not funny! Like WOW man...just WOW! I mean really, this company should NOT be legal if it makes you think you are buying pot when you are not. They keep talking hybred this and that..and it is all [censor]. They might have been in HIGH TIMES for years but so the hell what? What DOES that prove IO? NOTHING. YOU ARE A SCAM COMPANY. YOUR PRODUCTS ARE [censor]. AND I BELIEVE THOSE WHO ANSWERED THE NEGATIVE POSTS WITH AN ATTITUDE TOWARDS THOSE WHO CLAIM YOUR [censor] IS [censor]...WELL WE ALL KNOW THAT IO MUST BE ANSWERING THE CLAIMS THEIR [censor] IS [censor] trying to make others think that people actually like that crap and it gets you high! There is NO way FAKE pot can work to get anyone high! PERIOD. Sorry, but I am NOT gonna try YOUR [censor] product ever now that I have read the truth about what it is, and your company. YOU ARE A [censor]ING RIP OFF AND I AM GLAD I WAS NOT ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE YOU RIPPED OFF! [censor] INTERNATIONAL ODDITIES for the [censor] advertizing and lies! FAKES, PHONIES, THAT IS IO! I will stick to the REAL DEAL myself...at least it gets you HIGH and does NOT taste like [censor] like the [censor] you get from International Oddites!
I tried looking for I.O.'s email and found nothing. I called the phone number on their website and found no live customer service report after going through each option. After receiving my order and feeling giddy...I opened a fresh can of 'Krypto' to find white pieces that looked ALOT like mold on it. I picked about 1G to roll up and found stems being covered in this mold like substance and on the 'buds' itself. I anticipated to send pics of the 'MOLD' it to I.O. and see if its normal, guess im STUCK with this. Feeling disappointing sucks..but i already expected it after seeing multiple negative reviews online. Even worst is I.O. got me venting HERE instead of their email or to them. Jerks! -10 Karma for lying to us, bad International Oddities!
for the record i am a customer who recently ordered...i just received my packaged of which i ordered 3 4oz cans and get one free..and let me say i am highly dissapointed the bud on all of these io videos are complete falsified and they should be ashamed the ppl who say this is a good company obviously do not know what real weed looks like or they would not be saying this...and just to prove i am tell the truth about what i am sayin i will provide a phone number where you can call an talk to me yourself and i will gladly send you pics of this [censor] my name is gerald and # is [protected] this company needs to be put outta business
thanks guys, i filled out the order form for $55 to international oddities but before i put my card info in i decided to look for reviews. there are a [censor] ton of international oddities only review sites and that seemed sketch and this [censor] seemed too good to be true. as it turns out, it is. Thank you to all and to all a HAPPY 420!
Yep I got some I.O. on Friday and I was SUPER disappointed with what I had gotten. I have tried the SPICE and it does work like MJ but not quite the same but damn near close though. I suggest if you want a marijuana alternative to either just quit sm oking bud or get urself some kind of spice
International oddities products are all TOTAL SCAM BS. They taste, smell and smoke like crap. They will not give you a refund and are rude as heL when you call for a refund or return. They shouldn't be allowed to be in business.
Yeah i was going to buy that ### but ### em it does seem like a scam, if anyone wants to get blazed off of something legal buy some k2 summit incense, i took 3 hits and felt like i just soloed a blunt of corn to myself i thought it was pretty close to a marijuana high and it only took three hits and for 40 dollars you get three grams so it lasts a while i stayed high for at least an hour ! this ### aint a scam
International Oddities is a fake, scam, peice of ### comapany that should be taken down and thrown away into a black hole. I.O. and their products were completely fake, I ordered the 420 special and I opened the box and rolled a joint of each and they both smelled "rank" it was the most discusting thing i had ever smoked, it was just a bunch of mushed herbs that were held together with sugar and the herbs themselves had food coloring that rubbed off on your fingers. I can say not to buy their products but if you want to waste your money then go ahead lol but i sure as hell will not buy from them ever again. Also you cant talk to anyone for a refund or anything you get a address and phone number but the phone number is automated and you never speak to a real person and the address is fake also, i sent a letter and got the letter returned because it was a fake address. I advise people to not buy their products because this company is fake and they are scammers and need to be taken down! so do not buy their products because you will be fuked over.
tried all the "legal bud" products with no luck. all suck! spice worked but is laced with chemicals. can't wait to be off probation to toke the sweet leaf again... [censored]!
what are some REAL companies that arent sellin ###?
Their products are total crap. Their videos are all fake. There are good legal buds out there, just not from this company. THey are all marketing and fake videos and pictures. They will not refund you either when you buy their crap and choke on it.
420Tokin could you recommend some legal bud companies that are acceptable?
I have tried virtually everything they carry. It is all ###. Total Crap. It smells like ###, tastes like ###, and if you are posting here defending, than we know who you work for.. lol. International ### in a bag should be the name of the company. There are other legalbuds companies that have decent product, again as long as you understand it's not giong to be just like the real thing. Internationaloddities.com products actually clogged my bowl in 1 smoke, ruining another bowl for my water pipe, and than I gave up. they are sticky, smell like total crap and make your lungs hurt.
I recently bought some International Oddities...The products are very presentable, the shipping is fast, and you receive free bonus gifts. They hype their stuff up to sound like wow, I am going to get super duper mega ultra stoned! After smoking an entire joint and bowl of each on separate occasions, I came to the conclusion that I will never order from this company again. They all tasted similar, in the sense that they taste...odd to say the least, maybe similar to that of some cheap incense or potpourri. I didn't feel the least bit high, but I did get a super relaxed feeling. Nothing can replace my love for MJ. Good try International Oddities. I recommend that none of you buy from them unless you want some tobacco that tastes like potpourri!
A few years ago I tried IO products. I think it was the ti-stix and some other bud in a tube.
The ti-stix was nasty, just a bunch of herbs pressed into a stick and coated with a thick brown spray. Never mind the product was hard to work with, couldn't be "broken up" due to sticky crap, but after a while I managed to somehow smoke something of it only to be dissappointed by the awful flavor and harshness of the smoke, only to go on like many others I felt nothing but a headache coming on.
The other bud was just as much of a waste as far as what it was worth smoking. Although not nearly as nasty as the ti-stix crap.
MJ like experience 0, feeling of being totally ripped 1.
Recently I have tried the incense, and am very pleased. Someone mentions Serenity Now. All I have to say is serenity now, insanity later! Indeed these incense are more es pensive. My experience tho, is that this incense nearly works in one hit. At least one "small bowl" in a bong, and you're done. So no stems/seeds 3 grams is probably more like 5 grams of mj, and also it's pretty potent so you don't have to smoke as much. I would say potency of SN is right up there with $400/o mj. Unfortunately, I also feel products of these types may be subjected to counterfeiting more easily than most, because packaging is not readily identifiable or known and quite frankly anyone can print a bag to look like something and fill it with some herbs and what not. I highly doubt the SN I got is counterfeit, as I'm VERY WELL satisifed with it (and believe me I know good mj).
I.O. is very good at "scamming" their customers. I purchased 4 oz. of 6 different kinds of "legal bud" from them. I smoked a little bit and ended up throwing it all away. It doesnt absolutely nothing as far as effect except hurt your throat and give you a headache. I highly doubt there is anything in the product to give you a "buzz/high". Every single product on their website is the exact same thing. All they do it spray the "buds" with some sort of chemical that makes it smell and taste different. Trust me whe I say this "DO NOT BUY FROM THEM". If you need a MJ substitute, this is not it. Virtually all products called "legal bud" are absolute rip offs. The ONLY things that do anything are "herbal smokes" and "herbal incense" (i.e. spice gold, K2, serenity now), but those are still way over priced and do not produce an effect anywhere compared to MJ. I see a lot of people are giving the thread started ### because he didn't even smoke it. If you have ever bought this stuff, you don't need to smoke it. The smell and look alone is enough to make you feel sick, not to mention the smoke is more harsh than filter-less tobacco. Tobacco will give you more of a buzz than this stuff. If you really don't believe me...go ahead and buy some. It is nothing but an absolute waste of money. You will see. Don't go crying to anybody after you buy it, as I have given you a 100% honest and truthful review. I only need 2 words to describe I.O. products: "Complete Garbage".
Thank you all for the REAL info about I.O. I was about to order the skunk stuff, thinking Man a buz would be nice, I am afraid now, thinking I will just be wasting my money, and I have NEVER been a smoker of cigarettes, I think they stink like ###, and are harmful for everyone, And I hate the option of getting HOOKED, , Cigarettes is additctive, and that is stupid, I wonder why the world allows that bull ### to be sold legal. That is Totally Stupid, thinking of Inhaling, smoke and blowing it out, and all you get is Nurve Control, LOL, thats dumb, It gets good people Hooked, , Think about it, Thats how the companies are SUPER RICH, getting their customers HOOKED, , I like Marijuana, thats my deal, thats what I like, Nothing else, and I will NOT purchase from I.O. Hell now, , Thank you all for telling me that, I would not be very happy taking a toke of Standard Cigarette Smoke, , Hech now, , Thank you, thank you, thank you.. TO all telling the truth.
bought some bahli bubble herb and it really looks great. taste like burnt marshmellows and had no effect whatsoever... hella lame

you took the words right out of my mouth do a quick IO search here and see the 90 other complaints against these ###
also disgusted and cheated you ordered pot from an online company...thats your own fault for being so stupid
I just received an order from Intl Oddities and I am very disappointed. I ordered the 420 Special package for 55.00 which includes Dro and Stunk buds with a small gram sample of Black O (hash like resin). I was also given free items which included a lighter that didn't work, which they say is a 30.00 value, some hemp rolling papers and a hand held rolling machine. The buds of both the Dro and Stunk "look" real in the package but when I opened them up they smelled like cigarette tobacco with a hint of blueberry. I broke up the buds which were pressed together leaves with no sticks or seeds in sight, rolled them and lit up. The smoke smelled just like a cigarette and tasted like it too. I quit smoking cigarettes 13 years ago and hate everything about them, the smell, taste and smelly fingers etc. so these were very disappointing to say the least, but I tried to give them the benefit of doubt and smoked 1/2 joint of each herb. I was so disappointed when I felt nothing at all except deceived. The extinguished joints smell just like a cigarette ashtray too...gross. The best thing in the whole package is the rolling machine and papers, which are not not worth the 55.00 plus 10.00 shipping I paid. There is no contact info for refunds or customer complaints, the 800 number is totally automated so you can't speak to anyone either. I warn all others contemplating ordering from these guys to forget about it and go and buy a pack of cigarettes instead for a whole lot less.
