The other drugs rule covers all other drugs, legal or not. We don't discriminate when it comes to non-cannabis inebriants. This site is dedicated to medical marijuana, and posts about many legal psychoactives are regularly removed. In fact, I've seen posts about coffee vanish in a puff of steam.
Where prescribed oxycontin is concerned, and any other pharmaceuticals, that talk is VERY VERY closely watched by site staff to ensure that it is strictly limited to drug interaction issues and promotes safety for our members who suffer chronic pain and utilize both pharma and herbal approaches to pain management. It is also, as you may notice, confined to the medical section.

So please follow that guideline in choosing thread topics. I'm sure there are plenty of really nice forums on microbrewing etc. that will welcome beer discussions. That's their thing; cannabis is ours.

Thanks for understanding.

btw the argument for discussion of alcohol because it is mentioned in a religious text is not going to fly here. Remember, in some world religions, alcohol is actually seen as vile or sinful, and if you are going to argue it that way, I will counter with not imposing offensive religious beliefs on others via the site rules system, modified as you suggest it be, that would discriminate in favor of Western belief systems, but does not allow talk of other psychotropics used for aeons by tribal peoples on vison quests and the like.
