Just Say No
This particular issue has caused an incredible amount of grief for the staff and many members as well.
There is a long and tumultuous history of some individuals trying to circumvent the
terms & conditions applying to the discussion of illegal/mind-altering drugs
through various means, then giving the staff a hard time for enforcing them.
Those days are over.
Until quite recently, I had been a vocal advocate of a more "relaxed" interpretation of ATS policy regarding discussion of illegal drugs, but it has
become clear that the problems it has given way to have become too great.
Alas, it's easier to "just say no".
The War On Drugs
I realize that some members will disagree with this policy, and there's nothing wrong with having different opinions about anything, including ATS
policies.
But violations of this policy, especially deliberate attempts to "lawyer" past it, will not be tolerated.
In particular, wasting valuable staff time arguing over the removal of drug-related threads or posts is a non-starter.
Don't. Just don't.
