Attention to the new OWNER: Ban the Minors ...

[the image reaper]

while I realize its not easy to judge the age of a member, I feel whenever it is obvious they are minors, (and there are currently MANY in here), they should be permanently banned from Cannabis.com ... it sends the wrong messages, it is Illegal, and draws the wrong kind of attention to this website ... we need to present a public conception of us, as responsible people ... it will prove to be impossible to ever get MJ legalization, etc, if we maintain this "teen stoner" "ghetto thug" image ... I fully expect to be flamed, but I have to say what I feel is right ... any parent discovering this website would be outraged, and probably will be referring their Congressman to it's existence ... if you think the government just 'stumbled' onto Overgrow, etc, don't kid yourself ... they didn't 'cover their ass' ... if you pull the Tiger's tail, you should expect to be hurt ... just my un-wanted two cents ... :smokin:

You are right..I read a post by a well known member saying he wouldnt be posting as much because he had to turn his schools computer in..would that not stand to reason when they find this website on it that they could make a dateline story out of how schools computers are being used? I thought there were restrictions on teenagers access to certain sites when using school equipment? I just thought of his post when I read yours...something serious to think about imo..

I know I probably come off as an uptight Nazi, or something, but it's just that I feel we will never make any progress with marijuana, if we don't present a better public image ... like it or not, laws are only changed by Voters, and political pressures ... there are damned few politicians or movers/shakers that are going to risk their careers over stoners that don't vote, talk nonsense, and can't write a thoughtful, intelligent letter for their support ... I could be in here sayin "dawg dude i wuz stond so kewl inskool tooday + bepimpin like a mofo too faroutdoods" ... instead, I used that time to write a letter to Senator Barbara Feinstein, seeking her support for medical marijuana (I actually received a non-form letter from her office ... she danced around the issue, saying she only supports medical marijuana for Cancer, and AIDS (she cant survive without that homo vote in the Bay area) ... but, you see my point: if we don't police ourselves, LEO will be happy to help ... :smokin:

Why ban people because there underage? Why can't everyone share a common thing...marijuana. I'm about 14 and I don't "Display the ghetto thug image"...as a matter of fact, I bet no one would even think I do weed...

Because i would like to know if knowingly having teenagers post their age and letting them post is illegal..thats one thing I don't want to share..

you make it obvious, that you are cordial, intelligent, and concerned ... my problem with you being in these Forums is not a personal attack ... my only concern is the fact that we are, technically, "contributing to the delinquency of a Minor", which can be a serious offense in most areas of America, and more importantly, (because I am not a zealot about obeying the Law ), I am an adult of some years, that can see the laziness, lack of motivation, and diminished self-respect that occurs with young stoners ... disagree all you want, I defend your rights, but "youthful drug use is WRONG and is only going to negatively affect your life" ... I purposely used quotation marks to illustrate my strong opinion on that issue ... another example of my un-wanted opinions, I suppose ...

So your saying if I tell people my age that it's illegal? It's my choice if I wanna post my age.

Even at the expense of others you would exercise your "right"? That is selfish if it is illegal and you know it is...if it contributes to this place being done like other sites..you think that is just your choice?

again, you come off intelligently ... I do wish you a good life, and health ... have a great weekend ... :smokin:

you smoke and you are 14...?

ilove you

I share this with you for thought...not to tell you what to do....

as a gifted human specimen of incredible and mind boggling athletic ability and physical prowess... I am very aware of the fact that smoking does damge to these gifts of mine...

if I would have smoked prior to the age of 23, I am sure that these gifts would have never reached there full potential... it is permenantly dibilitating to the body to intoduce toxins to it before it reaches maturity... damage done to the body at a young ages inhibits potential growth and maturation....

at 14 you are growing..growing... developing ... it is important to nuture your body with the best the world has to offer...
