Go ahead. How can marijuana cause severe harm to an individual.
Click to expand...
Alright, Little Timmy plays ACNH. Timmy lives in a town where marijuana is illegal and has strict parents. Timmy sees "like minded individuals" on TBT advocating the use of drugs. Timmy decides to pick up some pot from a kid at school. He isnt careful, and gets arrested. Parents have to pay the fine. Timmy gets beat by his dad for doing drugs. (stuff like this happens, and if you think it doesnt, youre dead wrong)

The idea is that you dont know what kind of household people come from, and just because it doesnt affect you, doesnt mean that they are free and clear to experiment with drugs. And its possible that that little bit of influence from this forum could have been the reason why they decided to try it in the first place.

I really shouldnt have to explain this.

its just a slippery slope. Like ok, if its ok to talk about getting high on marijuana, does that mean it's also ok to talk about getting high shooting up heroin? Getting drunk? Smoking a pack of cigarettes a day? Snorting lines of cocaine? Etc & etc & etc?

Like... it's a question I think about what the core purpose of this site is and if these kinds of discussions align with that or not. I just think no.

Cigarettes/Alcohol have serious side effects while marijuana usually has side effects for people with pre existing conditions and medicine.

There's way less harm compared to other legal stuff however alcohol/cigarettes are normalize hence why no one made such a thread till someone mentioned smoking weed.

it isnt completely legalized though, and the human body just point-blank isnt made to inhale smoke. its definitely not legal for minors to do, which is why they were saying if the forum is 13+ and legalized substances are generally 18-21+, should we be discussing this here???

Your logical fallacy is slippery slope

You said that if we allow A to happen, then Z will eventually happen too, therefore A should not happen.
yourlogicalfallacyis.com
"The problem with this reasoning is that it avoids engaging with the issue at hand, and instead shifts attention to extreme hypotheticals. Because no proof is presented to show that such extreme hypotheticals will in fact occur, this fallacy has the form of an appeal to emotion fallacy by leveraging fear. In effect the argument at hand is unfairly tainted by unsubstantiated conjecture."

I feel like you are over simplify timmys and not mentioning other things that could've led to it. Also, these things could happen however it's extremely hard to pinpoint it coming from a single thread. Plus, it's a make believe thing.

maybe that would be fixed by realizing we were talking about the topic in general and not a specific thread??? please read what we're saying before making snarky remarks
 
I'd understand if someone was talking to some underage kid about drugs and how they should try it, that should obviously not be allowed. But if the convo is about recreational or medicinal purposes between adults, then it shouldn't matter. You also forget there are children who take THC/CBD as medication. Kids can come across some explicit stuff in AC, like custom patterns and language in general.

Also, I'm pretty sure some of these kids play games like GTA or COD...which is literally killing other people. By some of the logic in the replies, does that mean they're going to go out and be violent? lol come on.


Either way, this is why I try to be friends with people over 18 years only.

Also, isn't making this thread somewhat counter productive to the idea of "Wont somebody please think of the children?"
