I honestly think this might be the most intelligent debate I have ever seen on this site. I almost always take a side and squint my eyes at the other one, but this discussion has had me changing my mind back and forth about 12 times. Oneironaut, you need to be promoted from moderator to site attorney. You have absolutely kicked ass at arguing the site's position on the issue. I of course think and have said that there is a huge distinction between trip drugs and high drugs, but the bottom line is that most trip drugs are illegal in the United States, which is the main nationality represented on this site, and that people are some times less able to safely handle themselves when out in the world while on those drugs. There is really no way around the fact that those circumstances create both an image and a liability issue for any discussion that takes place here about drugs that are all the way illegal in the countries represented here.
One of my first thoughts about this issue was that there was never a problem expressed with the "Hey you drunk!!! Post here!!!" thread. Although it is completely illogical, I don't think that gung-ho alcohol thread in Senseless Banter, which many of us in this thread have posted in and glorified alcohol big time, has the same effect, even though alcohol is illegal for minors. Though it baffles me, alcohol is legal for adults and is not the taboo subject acid and mushrooms are, so I don't think there is an image or a liability issue there. It's very strange, but that's how it is.
