I think it all depends on the context. The subject of drugs is a political and social hot-topic these days, and several states in the US are just beginning to rethink their stance regarding certain substances.

While this site will never support or advocate illegal activity, we are not here as a censor. We value a community that is mature enough to discuss different issues, with minimal rules and guidelines. However, if there is a specific incident that is getting out of hand or seems inappropriate, a moderator will step in.

exactly my opinion

and another thing: how do you define "drug"? legally prescribed drugs may be illegal if not prescribed. alcohol and tobacco are drugs, but are allowed.

But in a specific instance they are not closing threads that are just about use, and nothing of political discussion.

As far as the it isn't illegal everywhere....... Neither are things like child porn. But you still don't see that on the site.

The site is based in the U.S. not some crazy island that answers to no one.

Talking about the use is.

If someone from say Ohio says they were doing whatever drug. They are actually admitting it and if prosecutors wanted to come in and prosecute they have a confession right there.

It's like video taping yourself breaking into a store and leaving the video behind.

You're so wrong.

People do drugs on video all the time. Snoop Dogg, Tom Sizemore, me, the list goes on.

Possession is illegal, distribution is illegal.
Admitting to having done a drug in the past is not.

I'm getting tired of people talking about and discussing illegal drugs on JSP.

Whether it goes to simple things like the types.

Some go into comparing some drugs against others and the better way to use those drugs etc etc.

We are in fact encouraging and promoting drug use to the community of JSP members by having these posts and threads allowed.

I've even seen people with 'authority' on the site (TT users and higher) post about their drug use.

At what point is the line drawn with blatant morons and the promotion of illegal activities?

Stop being a little bitch.

Some drugs that are illegal in Unites States are legal in other countries where people who are on jsp may be from

Someone on the internet saying they do whatever drug is no basis for prosecution or even the feds looking into it anymore.

Any discussion about something else than weed and H should not be allowed in my opinion.

I wouldn't want to promote drug on this website because most of the D2jsp community are around 14 years old.

It is an admission actually and can be admitted into evidence in Court.

Thanks for trying though.

Good luck finding a prosecutor who wants to make a case against you based on what you posted on an internet forum

seriously.

Your poll is deceiving because in your topic title you advocate stopping the illegal drug conversations, but your poll question asks if the content should be allowed. Most people who disagree with you will automatically vote No for your suggestion - I almost did before I caught myself and read the question. So I voted for Yes and I disagree with you.

If you are really and truly offended by it and it gets out of hand with a single user then please just PM a moderator about it or something. I don't see this as a big enough problem for a forum-wide institution of a ridiculous rule which many people would not agree with

The closest analogy I can come up with for this is here: it would be like building an electrical fence on the edge of every sidewalk to disallow people from J-walking

there's such an incredibly vast number of people who do it, talk about it, and aren't ashamed about it that it would be next to impossible to enforce without extreme measures. Even if it could be enforced I wouldn't support it though...
And about TT's and mods - they have lives too and can do what they will. I do agree that it might not be awesome for someone to say "Crack is awesome! Everyone under age 18 needs to try crack immediately!" but personally I feel that they have a right to their views and the ability to express them.

And yes - I do drugs

and no, I'm not worried about the police knocking on my door tomorrow
