I could undertand how questions about obtaining drugs aren't allowed, but........?

Question

should questions about drug experiences be prohibited, banned, flagged, reported, and/or removed?
The other day I bought a legal substance (Salvia Dinorum)and had the trippiest experience of my life and needed some answers. My question was flagged and removed. It wasn't a question of drugs but rather experience and when closed minded people flag these questions i think they just want to keep everybody else ignorant about thintgs they don't understand.
example: 1 dose of nyquil messes me up, if i asked a question about that, would it get flagged for drug content?
Why do they want to keep people in the dark, do they want people to try **** for themselves with no answers beforehand?
Why?

Answer 1

Some people are so touchy it's crazy. Someone ranted and raved and insulted people because of breeds of dogs. I told them to get a cat and was reported over that. Too much political correctness going on will mess people up more than drugs.

Answer 2

First of all, the internet is global. Drug policy is not. Saliva D is illegal where I come from, so the policy Yahoo exacts is in the interest of the majority, as well as their own indemnity. Secondly, please don't seek advice regarding the use of potentially lethal substances (I know sage isn't one of these, but GHB, for example, can really f*ck you up, really easily) from the internet. The information is unreliable at the best of times, especially when you consider your individual health condition. I have irreversibly given myself manic depression and anxiety problems through mild drug use, due to a family predisposition to these conditions that I did not know about. And I was lucky, compared to some people I know (some of whom, are dead). I'm sorry, I don't mean to preach, you have asked a reasonable question - the battle of prior drug education vs. post drug punishment - and this is a debate that is still fervently in motion. But you need to understand, that despite YOUR experience, drugs are dangerous and this will mean different consequences for different people. So it is rather obvious why Yahoo removes such questions - they can't take any chances. My advice would be to talk to a doctor, a regular user, a recreational user and a drug specialist. This, in tandem with your own experience, will comprise a well-founded source for drug information. Go from there.

Answer 3

I think that where this forum includes children some as young as 10 years old, yahoo is trying to protect them. If you were really concerned about a drugs affect on people you could google it. I don't know as these questions should be flagged but maybe this just isn't the forum to use when asking them. A lot of the sex questions are far more ridiculous and offensive.

Answer 4

I think that unbiased educated opinions should be accepted. Perhaps they fear we'll all go smoke a joint, then get insane with the need to get higher and higher and we'll go create a meth lab in our basement and then start selling it so we can snort our coke and inject morphine into our viens... and don't forget the perks. ruh oh, now they've got a bunch of hyped up hippies on their hands...

Answer 5

it's way too easy to get questions removed here. we are a species that likes to get high. far better to get information of what's known than to experiment on yourself. and i've heard the salvia plant is very interesting.

Answer 6

I AGREE WITH YOU BUT I GUESS IF THIS WAS A WEBSITE FOR ADULTS ONLY IT WOULD BE ALLOW. I THINK THEY ARE ONLY LOOKING OUT FOR THE WELL BEING OF ALL THE CHILDREN ON THIS SIGHT. AND TRUST ME THERE ARE A BUNCH OF THE ANKLE BITERS ON HERE

Answer 7

drug policies are inherently hypocritcial and inconsistent starting with leniency of alcohol vs pot stance

Answer 8

I think that is a little extreme, but why all the sex questions though? It's hypocritical I think.
