The Psychoactive Forum is Closing !!!!!!!

I agree to shutting down non-cannabis Forums, wholeheartedly ... this website is named "cannabis.com" for a reason, ... if you are into something else, go to "tweeker.com", or "heroin.com" , whatever ...
good people are trying desperately to get cannabis legalized, or at least, decriminalized, and allowing these other drug threads to infiltrate plays right into the hands of LEO, and normal, concerned parents ... how can we argue that pot does NOT lead to other, more harmful drugs, when we are permitting those exact drugs to be popularized in here ?? ...
get real, people .. if you want to know how to cop a 'high' sniffing your Mom's douche, then find that info somewhere else, not in a cannabis forum ... :smokin:

bob makes a lot of sense.

No you're right.. there are people coming to this site to honestly learn about cannabis. Adults..that are un educated on the matter.

Put yourself in that position...you come here to learn about cannabis.. either the medical or recreational uses of it.. How would you react when you see people talking about a variety of mind altering drugs...that have nothing to do with cannabis? would you not be a little concerned that cannabis can lead to these other things? To be honest most of the Pyschotropic topics have NOTHING to do with cannabis. I believe the quote was "weed is practically fucking useless." ...which really, says it all.

If this is the mentality of a drug user, that cannabis is honestly not very helpful... but these other drugs are? Then you're more addicted than you realize.

Which is exactly why this section is going to get closed.

Why should a message board like Cannabis.com be limited soley to cannabis? Cannabis may be the main focus here and it's a good place for growers but I believe that everybody here has made the decision to do an illegal drug. Despite what most of your parents, teachers, doctors, parole officers or your government told you about it you smoked an illegal drug. Perhaps you were curious or indifferent to the authoritative influence. Maybe you did your own research and found that the drug laws were draconian and impracticable, the entire topic of psychoactives a body of myth and hype.
It should be no surprise that a lot of people who smoke cannabis are interested in the effects of other substances. Everybody everywhere needs to stop discriminating against drugs. Are you trying to give people the idea that cannabis is different from other drugs? Those that know already know and the others just arn't interested. While legalizing cannabis would be a nice step in the right direction it seems far off at this rate and meager juxtaposed the war on drugs. All drugs are different from other drugs and prohibiting them all is doing more harm than good. Allowing just cannabis discussion is nice, but Other Psychotropics is progressive. Why take a step back?

theimagereaper, Cannabis doesn't force you to do other drugs. People do other drugs for their own reasons, and others need to accept that as well. People with your attitude are never going to get cannabis legalized.

Well I understand that you want to keep it strictly cannabis talk, but at the same time, I liked the option to post in an area such as the psychoactive forum. That's what makes this place so cool. If people don't want to learn about drinking cough syrup and what not, then they don't have to click in that forum. And to assume every impressionable kid that looks in the psychoactive forum will go out and start huffing gas is reasoning gone wrong. These are all assumptions, and I guess I missed the part when this site became more parentally-acceptable. Either way, I think you might be getting rid of a good thing.

That's actually exactly what the new owners are trying to do. Make this site much more mainstream... hopefully educating more people that have massive misconceptions about cannabis.. like the "gateway drug" thing, or that smoking it will cure whatever ails you. We're trying to get cannabis more accepted by people who have been fed biased opinions about it, as i think we ALL are fed at some point.
You may be right.. and bye closing down the Psychotropic area may force people to go elsewhere to get this information, we may even lose a few respected members...but if the direction this site is traveling does not include Psychotropics..then it will not include other Psychotropics..

We're more concerned with educating and helping to fix misconceptions many, many people in our society have about cannabis.

I think all the threads I have seen about heroin, coke and meth werent exactly saying "oh yeah its great try it".
oh yeah thats what LEO wants
you know why???
more money for thier drug war

personally I think I may have saved a few kids from picking mushrooms in the woods and eating them. They posted questions about it on here before they risked thier lives. I think thier concerned parents would thank me FYI
you see talking about other drugs CAN inform people

although i probably will not stop coming to the site completely, the closing down of this forum will drastically reduce my visits here. i found this forum to be the most intellegent and factual forum on this site. whatever its the new admins choice to lose probably half of the people that come to this site. oh yea i just registered for bluelight... my name is gan Jiah 13 if anyone on here joins those forums it would be pretty cool if we all knew someone on there. peace

I, for one, am very happy to see the new owners taking a responsible course of action ... I feel this is the necessary step for genuine cannabis-law reform, the "powers that be" that can change these laws, will naturally check their sources for correct information, I only hope what they find is not seeded with the glue-sniffers, and cough-syrup drinkers ... :smokin:

So essentially what you are saying here is ::: Pot is a gateway drug so we won't show that here... You can't squelch reality to promote opinion...
