p.s. i'm generalizing, not talking to anyone specificly.
If somebody is being racist, they should be banned... if someone is selling illegal stuff on the board, then that's definately a no-no. i'm just saying that instead of closing the forum you could put a disclaimer illustrating the point; something along the lines of "we don't condone the use of such substances, however we aren't one to limit the free speech of other people." you know what i mean? i understand the point, that you don't want cannabis to be associated with hard drugs because you would like it to seem more 'main-stream'. but maybe there is another way to go about this , other than completely closing the psychoactive forum? i think there is good educational advice in this forum.. when i think about it this way, i wouldn't mind answering a kid's question regarding the LD-50 for heroin; he might have taken too much of the drug had he not first consulted with people who have more knowledge. Again i see your point, but this is something to take into consideration. maybe the psychoactive forum should remain, but "for informational purposes only". just a thought?

i'm only recommending this because closing that forum probably isn't going to stop people from talking about how much blow they're doing or how to cook meth or anything like that.
