what do u guys approve of?

[GrewUp To ScrewUp]

what are somethings you think of as unwritten rules around here? Do you look down on those who sale? those who cant stop? those who smuggle? what do you think of your members' intent?

This is no offense to you, but you should keep your personal affairs to yourself. I am not saying your as in YOU specifically, but the general YOUR. This site is here for us to learn how to nurture and care for a specific breed of plant life, nothing more. If you sell thats great, if you smuggle thats great, if you can't stop thats great, but, all these issues need to be kept to yourself. Except for maybe the can't stop one because we do have a good support community here that can maybe give some good solid advice. Regardless though.

It is all about keeping a low profile, and saying things like that, whether kidding or not, do nothing but throw up red flag after red flag. Remember, anyone, ANYONE can read this site.

I approve of anyone who can responsibly smoke pot if they are 18 and over. Key word here is responsibly.

I couldnt agree with you more SmokinMom, Its a shame that so many under 18's go overboard when smoking. I was reading a paper and two kids got stabbed by some other kid who was anxious for some bud. After killing the 14 and 16 year olds he handed himself in. in my own opinion, this kid killed his two mates, handed himself in, and then his lawyer suggested to him that he was crazy and it was the MJ doing the dirty work, though this tactic got him 20 years in prison, its now all over the papers saying that it was MJ that made him do it although he only said that in court to reduce his sentence by a few years.

Crazy crazy world

Um, yeah unwritten rules.. I know for a fact that the moderators here and a lot of the members frown upon those who grow to sell. Smuggling is just as bad wouldnt you say?

As far as this site goes.. everyone here is here to educate themselves on the growing of this marvelous herb. Just think of that as the golden rule of this forum.

if you read the mods sticky threads they will tell you not to give out any of your personal info, dont look to hook up with anyone for a sale and thats pretty much it.

Im baked and cant stop typing

There was a thread a while back about why people grew and there was a really excellent reason but I can't remember who typed it. It had to do with the fact that why you buy your pot off hardcore "gangster" type drug dealers you are fueling the crime machine and indirectly causing more people to loose their lives. By growing your own supply you are keeping money out of peoples hands that would use it to harm competitors and what not.

He said it differently, but that is the gist of what he was getting at.

i remember that post it it was a good one

Well that's an interesting question. Sounds like you are asking "Since we approve of smoking MJ, which is illegal, which other illegal behaviors do we approve of?"

As an adult I view smoking MJ as adult behavior. Govt regulation of this type of behavior is the same a govt trying to regulate sexual behavior of adults (sodomy laws, etc), or alcohol consumption. So while I am fully aware that by smoking and growing MJ that I am breaking the law, I see it completely differently then smuggling, dealing drugs to kids, stealing or committing other criminal acts. One is personal behavior that is my business, the other is criminal behaviour that hurts others.

I can only speak for myself, but I personally approve of Califonia residents illegally owning ferrets. However, for those afraid of a raid, I posted some alternatives in the 'critters' thread.

Seriously tho, I agree with the masses here that this should probably be an 'adults only' forum. I am a civil libertarian and believe whole heartedly in personal choice, but the age of majority in the US is still 18, last time I checked.

I gotta say that this a unique question. I almost left the site a few months ago because of a post that was wrapped around smuggling drugs on international flights and how to get away with it. That was way too out there for me. Yet I would like to see a section on here where we can post pics of our "girl" with our "girls" like a hotrod site. EVERYONE has a different level of acceptance and a different level tolerance. If WE did not, than we all would be mass growers and/or murderers. Let me explain. I have 6 plants and one light. Why? Because my state allows 25 plants, two lights and a 1/4lb per person in your home BEFORE it is even a misdimenor. There are also no public use laws and you can have an 1/8th in your pocket and the officer wont even confiscate it. I choose to believe that growing is ok, because my state allows me too untill the voters say otherwise or the terrorist organization called the FBI plays "big brother". Now I had a conversation with a person in a thread that said they have 30 plants because the most they would do is 2 years in jail. We have two completely different boundries set for what is right and what is wrong. Your question about the "unspoken rules" is directly affected by who is reading the post. For example Some mods here will erase your intire post for profanity where another mods would just edit it. Your length of time here and your reputation is all part of it as well. Also where it is posted and how much discretion you use is a factor. I dont believe that dealing is bad, I just choose not to be wrapped up in the game involved with it.

man, northernlights.. whichever state you are living in sound like eutopia compared to over here. i couldnt imagine having a cop let me keep a sac let alone an 1/8 but as i've been reading the news lately, it seems that more and more states are beginning to show signs of a better (and higher) future as they take these votes on whether or not medicinal weed is will be legalized. but onto the topic that started this thread.... from a yound adults point of view, who's sold, smoked, and bought god knows how many pounds i have to agree with theyorker. there is a huge difference in personal and criminal behaviour. but which is which? is the so called "gangsta drug dealer" your criminal? and the regular joe who has a small farm of pot plants just mindin his own? in the goverments eyes who would get the greater sentence? the hoodlum with a half or the guy at home with 10 pounds growin. i mean, if you are in a lifestyle and situation that has you selling drugs (be it weed coke heroin or whatever) because the 9 to 5 you have cant put food in the mouths of yourself or the ones you love, why not. why work 40 hours a week to make what 500..600 dollars when you can make 500 or 600 dollars in a short day or two. i'm not tryin to justify selling drugs but the majority of people who sells drugs (not including your little rich kids) dont do it cuz its cool and they feel gangster.. its usually because thats the best way to make fast money. i know the drug related crime and murder rate is very high, but i dont think that is the drug part. its all about the money. if you look at it this way, the people on here love smoking (which is a great thing) and wanted the best they could get so they better there situation by growing some nice plants. people who deal.. love money (another great thing) and just wanted to better there situation so they used their surroundings to do it. i've said enough for now.. sorry for the long posts.. i've really gotta start compressing my thoughts into a few lines.. aight lata

 

[user 5533]

Do you live in Alaska northernlightssmokn? I can't think of any other state of the top of my head with such lax laws about pot.

 

[northernlightssmokn]

Yes I'm in Alaska.

 

[GrewUp To ScrewUp]

jis location says "Alaska"

but i think the grow it urself to prevent crime is not completely true. i think its the harder drygs like coke that lead to the brutal crimes we worry about, and what does everyones' here support of weed influence your opinions on other drugs?

 

[Elephant Man]

I personally only approve of MJ cultivation discussion on this site. I believe those that put a price on this plant, only contribute to the reputation it has been given by closed-minded individuals. Both dealers and the US government are to blame for the rediculous laws in place now. These powers, both cartel and beaurocratic, have not only criminalized all uses of MJ, but nearly caused it's extinction.

I have edited posts from mostly new members where cultivation for profit was brought up, I have also messaged members in private and asked them to edit their post...just depends on my mood I guess.

Point is, it is easy enough to keep your personal life to yourself, and what you do with your weeds is your own business. I love this site because I don't have to hear about it.:heart:
