^^^ i'm assuming you linked to the "about drugs" topic, but it's taking me to the forums so i'm not sure.
i don't really understand why we can't have a respectable conversation about things on drugs on here, but since i'm a moderator i still have to enforce the rules. i'm taking that rule as more of a don't post how much you love drugs and who does what drugs type of thread, but talking about the straight-edge movement and the science behind drugs seems perfectly fine to me. if another mod objects, lock it. but i think that much moderation is just stupid and detrimental to a forum. if people can't be respectful and have a good conversation, warn/ban them. it seems like these rules always come about and the rationale is always "the general population can't handle conversation about stuff like that and gets too immature". i think that's just stupid, instead of making pointless rules that make shit boring around here let's just get rid of the guys that can't have a decent conversation. having a discussion about drugs on the internet doesn't make you subject to being shut down or sued or something, i take it nobody here has seen bluelight, drugs-forum, dmtnexus, undrugged, researchchemical.net, etc. you can talk about drugs on the internet, just be careful about self-incrimination and you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
there's my rant, i'm just sick of coming on here every week or two and seeing the same exact threads over the same bullshit. we need to have better, more intelligent conversation on here. maybe make a new topic for it, but whatever, that's my rant.
if anybody has questions about psychoactives/the straight-edge movement, ask them here, use this place as a tool for learning.
