Is it ok to have discussions about substances like marijuana,cocaine,shrooms,etc? It doesn't mention it in the rules, so if the discussion is ok, what are the guildlines?

I prefer caffiene. That is my drug of choice. I think the rule is don't talk about doing the really hardcore ones, just the ones that aren't illegal in most countries.

I believe discussing them in general is ok, but discussing the use and abuse of them is not.

I think discussion about promoting drug usage should be look down upon. If you really into that stuff (pity on you if you do), then I suggest you go elsewhere for that kind of talk. We really don't need that kind of crap on these forums. After almost being killed myself from a drug overdose of a drug that was considered LEGAL, talking about illegal drugs (as in promoting the usage of it) isn't exactly the kind of thing I would take lightly. If you want to talk about how drugs have screwed up society, go on ahead then.

There have been quite a few discussions in the past, mostly on marijuana. They don't stay intelligent for very long though

There have been tons of discussions on Marijuana here. THey seem fine. But they always lead to bad comments being made.

feh, I've seen plenty of reasonable discussions... nay, arguments about drugs here.

Zully, that's something that not many people can, due to addicition.

I've been using drugs, don't do so anymore.. Many offers though, at regular parties.

Unfortunately Caffeine if a drug. And a harmful one. As well, it is possible that it is almost as/more harmful as Marijuana. But nobody here cares about that

Moderation isn't all that easy when you use drugs for pleasure, and many of them have negative long-term or short-term effects no matter how they are used.

Shut up. I'm GOING to do this whether you like it or not.

Yeah, but to what extent are we allowed to talk about them? Like, more like a discussion of "drugs are bad" like we're having now? Or more like "...so I was smoking in my room this morning and my bed caught on fire, but it was good sh*t, anyone else have any home-made bong stories?". Mods? Admins?

------------------
Punktkerbe | www.hl2central.net

Discussions for or against legalization have been approved in the past. It doesn't have to even be a 'drugs are bad' thing.


I really don't want those kinds of things here though.

------------------
All you need is love.

When it comes to drugs, the "moderation" is using it only for practical purposes, not to get high on.

Do you have stairs in your house?

I second that.

Why not? If somebody reads on a webpage that drugs are good, he's got to be pretty stupid if that's the reason he uses to go take some, and if he's that stupid, he's bound to mess up sooner or later anyway.

------------------
The Internet will steal your soul.

I think that if someone here wants to post a discussion on drugs, like smoking in their room, they should be allowed to. Those of you that don't want to see it, here's a really really simple answer for you... DONT READ THE THREAD.

So I was smoking in my room the other day, and the bed caught fire...
[/irony]

I've never used (illegal) drugs, and I never will. That said, I will never smoke, and I probably won't drink (excessively) either.

...so there I am, snorting crack, and then suddenly the bed catches fire. And then my mom busts in, and *she* bursts into flames.

<kyle90> according to the sheet i got sent in the mail, I did "better than 99% of all college-bound seniors"
<kyle90> of course, thats comparing me to americans
<kyle90> so its not really a fair assessment

I disagree with your reasoning. I don't want people posting porn here, even if I can skip the threads.

------------------
All you need is love.

This is why some people shouldn't be allowed to discuss drugs. You don't snort crack, you smoke it. You snort cocaine. If you don't know what you're talking about, don't.


------------------
Baby Mama's Drama

That reminds me of an amusing story:

So I'm getting out of my car after having done nearly a kilo of crack cocaine (driving on crack is the coolest thing EVER, especially when you do it at 70mph in the breakdown lane), when my friend Chico comes over. Needless to say he's done more drugs than I can count in my crack filled head and asks me if he can borrow a "surfpanis". I have no idea what he's saying, so I lean over and hug him, right there on the sidewalk. Two girls come over, hug us, take our money and leave us there on the sidewalk. So we're sitting there, the bars are all closed, and we're sharing a really nice joint Chico had with him. All of a sudden this truck comes out of nowhere, speeding down the street at like 110mph and hits Chico squarely in the face. I just sit there, barely able to process what happened. So I sit there and stare, and then it occurs to me: I'm not wearing any pants. The moral of the story: CRACK IS AWESOME.

...obvoiusly the difference between crack and cocaine is lost on me, aside from the general knowledge that they screw you up.

You might enjoy being a jackass to people from time to time, but just don't start with me, okay?

------------------
Shut up. I'm GOING to do this whether you like it or not.

According to a former crackhead I once knew, crack can be crushed and snorted, but smoking it is preferable. It gives a better high or something.

I don't know why anyone would take pride in knowing more about illegal drugs than someone else, so I won't make any snide "you shouldn't be talking about drugs" comments.

Crack is just a form of Cocaine designed for smoking. The high from smoking crack is almost instant, whereas the high from snorting cocaine takes a while to come on.

Dont they teach this stuff in schools..?

What are you going to do about it?... type nasty words at him on a Star Wars internet forum?...

Posting porn and talking about drugs are two completely different things. For one, posting porn is against the rules, and a little more graphic than simple discussion. Like I said, if you don't care to hear it, then don't read it. It's the same thing as the rock and rap music discussion threads.. If u dont like a particular type of music, stay out of the thread and dont post. It's not like we're making you post your opinion on it.
