Honestly drugs have been a part of pop culture for so long now I strongly doubt no matter how young someone is they'd learn about them for the first time here. Even if so, kids are usually smarter than people give them credit for, and if they having a loving family willing to protect them mistakes they make won't even be all that costly.

I would have said the same thing as all of you if I saw this post 10 years ago. I guess I'm getting too old for this place :(

People in their 20s are probably more common here than teenagers, don't assume we're not adults just because we don't agree with you.

Also a discussion is not a game. You made your points, we made ours and now you refuse to engage with us. You're right, addiction isn't black and white. Doing drugs doesn't dictate how your life goes, but we've talked about the difference between weed and heroin, not drugs in general. The fact is, weed is a soft drug that means you don't physically get addicted to it. Heroin is a hard drug, and while you're high on it you're not capable of doing anything. Hard drugs are also worse because you keep on needing more to get the same pleasure out of it.

We don't want to attack you or your points, but your comparison of weed and heroin is really odd to say the least.
 
Hello, I'm going to get real for a minute while also remaining nice! So please do not see this as an attack! :- )

I recently started using this as medicine for my many illnesses. I experience horrible chronic pain
and can not work a full time job because of it. I'm finally living a more fulfilling life! :- )
Please understand what happened to your friend was horrible and I'm truly sorry that happened, but their experience isn't everyone's. Marijuana is just like any other medication or substance, It doesn't work for everyone because everyone's brain chemistry is different.

I grew up around alcohol and drug abuse and never substance abused my entire life because I saw how people destroyed themselves.
Not everything is black and white, most things are situational and some people just have more addictive personalities. Especially if they are using the substance as crutch instead of going to therapy or dealing with their issues. People like this shouldn't be looked down upon either, they just need help.

Of course we don't want minors to go do stuff like that! But the thread was CLEARLY adults talking to adults. :- )

i think saying opinions have no place on a forum is a bit strong, but as someone who is an adult and partakes in a light version of this topic (dr*g usage), i agree we shouldnt be actively talking about this on the forums
i do think theres a line though - i jokingly referred to bob as a stoner and agnes as a wine aunt in my island journal and i think thats fine, but i dont think anyone should be talking explicitly about doing drugs or using alcohol here, as there are indeed minors

I think this sums up my feelings really nicely.

I'm not going to touch the weed legalization thing (or apparently the arguments about addiction that have sprung up in previous pages) because honestly it's not relevant here and I don't really think it should be.
 
I think they have their place, discussing the legalization or informative matters. I don't think it should be a toted topic though. Even though weed is legal in some parts of the world, the act of describing taking it or how it makes you feel makes me a bit wary. Despite the demographic on site, there is still visitors and people of a younger age. The game Bell Tree promotes is for everyone, including younger than 13. Boasting about the usage to minors could influence them to try it, while it is legal for 18+, it isn't legal for a large portion of the users.

This isn't to say some drugs are not helpful for others, I just think references should be avoided on-site if they are toting the use. A joke is a different thing as with the X character being a stoner which I don't think is bad at all.
 
i think, as a stoner, the fact that everyone arguing with the original post decided to ignore what we were actually saying and make it all about whether weed is good or not shows yall arent MATURE enough to talk about it on a forum where there are people under 18

It's not about whether weed is good or bad. The underlying concern was for younger, impressionable people who also use this forum and whether it was acceptable.
I think it's very mature of people to have concerns and be able to voice them.

...did you read any of the later responses? because it definitely wasn't just "WEED GOOD BC THIS. WEED BAD BC THIS." there were some very valid and important points made by people including mods of the site that i think you should take into account. also if you're proclaiming to be a stoner, are you not doing exactly what got you heated in the first place? talking about your use of cannabis where it could potentially be viewed by vulnerable children? idk man.
 
I think we need to get one thing straight
Children who see "I like playing ACNH and smoking weed" and then decide they're all of the sudden going to pick up smoking are a different issue entirely. Like, that's absolutely an absurd way to think.
What kind of children are you guys around, seriously? And why are they on these forums?

Dude, you are bringing alot of hostility into the thread when there wasn't none to begin with.

The staff team had made excellent points on the topic and I recommend you read it.

It was me.

My laptop broke today so I can't upload it properly without my terrible narration. However, I can upload my word document to the thread which has the majority of the talking points in it, minus the grammar fixes I did.

It was for my final grade in Public Speaking. I had to do a persuasive PowerPoint and I choose why marijuana should be legalized.

huh? i suggest you go back and read the posts you didn’t see if you haven’t already. if you have, i missed the part where you acknowledged them. i honestly find it strange and hard to believe that a cannabis advocate feels so strongly about this the way you do. i’d think if you’re someone who truly enjoys the positive effects of marijuana and understands it as a substance, you wouldn’t be so against it being casually mentioned on a forum that consists of adults and teens who can surely think for themselves and form their own decisions.
