medication: illegal vs legal

why is it legal to discuss legal drugs and not illegal drugs when illegal drugs are deemed so destructive (thus constructive to talk about), vs some medications which are literally life threatening poisonous drugs such as chemo and yet tolerated. Does the FDA control ATS?

exactly where is the line between such discussions?

Just don't bother, seriously.

okay, please delete, i mean not to offend nor to get anyone in any trouble.

i only brought this up to understand where the line lies.

I like this forum and i do not wish to disrupt or break rules.

Seriously..... we've had this asked every year since I've been here because there are some great topics and conspiracies involving drugs.

There's never a decent explanation and it's just silly.


BUT


The rules are the rules and we must abide, just as the Dude would and there's plenty of sites to discuss it.

So yeah man, just don't bother, it's not worth it.

i was wondering exactly where the line lies, but if just asking that is too much, i totally retract my questions, you are right, its not worth it, no matter how pertinent or apparently relevant.

I would never purposely put the owners/mods of the site in any jeopardy.

The issue is regarding the legal status of the drug. It has nothing to do with whether or not legal, over the counter or prescription drugs are destructive.

It's simply a matter of not allowing the discussion of illegal content from drug perspective. It's been attempted, multiple times and always leads to the same thing.

Here's a thread by SO regarding the issue.

There are others as well.

The point is, until it's legal at the federal level, it will not be allowed. It's not up for discussion or debate, those are simply the rules that have been put in place.

These are the rules the staff will hold every member accountable to.
