> Shar,
> You wrote,[freedom of speech...I'm greatfull we have a forum for this...].
> Freedom of speech and advocating the breaking of laws........ah, you've changed what I said. I simply was praising how wonderful it was to be able to engage in free speech, which, of course, includes disagreeing with the ideas of others.
> have to be looked at in the following light.
.......well, they don't HAVE to be looked at that way, but some people might want to look at it that way...
> I beleive that it would be fine for people hear to talk about the pros and cons of the use of illegal drugs in relation to freeedom of speech.
........that's nice. But, again, I wasn't talking about free speech in relation to using any kind of medication or drug. Just the fact that we may speak freely. Period.
>What I have been writing about in this thread is about the rules of the board that say that the site is not to be used to failitate any illegasl activities. So I would propose the following:
> It would be OK to write:
> MJ has good medicinal use for chemotherapy and gloucoma sufferers.......and for other diseases and conditions, as well, to be accurate...
> MJ causes distorted thinking
> MJ has some anti- anxiety properties> It would not be OK to write:
> You should try MJ to see if it is good for you
> My psychiatrist says that MJ is OK to smoke
> MJ is accepted by psychiatrists.....Again, due to free speech in general, you can write about what you think should be happening here. What people should and should not be allowed to say. Your ideas, opinions, etc. that you believe would improve the site. That's great.
........And, due to the same freedom of speech, others can completely disagree with you, hold different opinions, believe your ideas may harm others, or whatever.
So........God bless America!
