I'm all for medicinal use, and the hundreds of other uses for the industrial variety, and also agree with those who use it for meditation/spiritual purposes, but not too keen on the way it has become just another recreational substance for some folk, like booze, or caffeine.
However, I do think it was one of G_d's gifts to humanity, and the politicians or the police, in my view, do NOT trump the big guy.

ATTENTION ALL!

It's no surprise to anyone that the thread has been cleaned up a bit. And if you missed it, here's why:

While we've been pretty gracious towards some members in this thread, it stops NOW.

ANY further mention of personal use will result in a permanent ban - without further warning or discussion. Any further off-topic posts will result in a 3 day posting ban.

Please refer to my post above about off-topic posts.

We've kept the thread up to allow the discussion of the implication of what was said in the opening post. NOT to discuss personal use, movies or snacks.

Just an "informative" thread Gem, nothing more...

Understood, but how can we discuss the effects of the substance without discussing the effects of the substance? If epileptics want to describe the difference between the effects of cannabis and other drugs, is that acceptable? I am serious...not all of us are reliving our childhoods right now, some are here to share information...we got carried away,and we'll straighten up, and I can certainly understand your smacking down on the frivolous conversation, but in the interests of the thread how can one discuss the effects without discussing the effects?

It is just an untouchable topic I guess, I learned that just now.

You can freely discuss the effects, the implications, the social impact, and so on. Read the terms and conditions again... Note the key part: Any Post mentioning or advocating personal use...

There are many threads like this happily having a discussion without the participants mentioning how stoned they are.

This is the rules of ATS, and it's not up for debate. If you want to take it up with admin, use the complaint feature. Let's stay focused on the topic in this thread.

No complaints, I understand and apologize for putting you in this position. I was just interested in clarifying the ground rules for further conversation.

I feel responsible for instigating this so hopefully no one has been permanently banned due to these transgressions.
