Encouraging Others

[Lym]

The way I see it is if you start telling people what they can and can not suggest for people to do you are putting your personal thoughts on everyone. It the post is a troll, then ban them. If it is spam, ban them too. If it is someone honestly trying to help, why do anything?

This, this is all that's needed. Thanks SuF

Just wanted to point out that suggesting drugs to someone who is clinically depressed is a horrible idea. It brings temporary happiness which the brain automatically connects to the drug = easy dependency. Just my first hand experience.

Weed doesn't have a dependency.

Weed doesn't have a dependency.

There are plenty of "non-addictive" drugs that can cause dependencies; Depression can severely increase these tendencies. Considering this thread is directed to the personal support forum I think depression is an extremely relevant factor.

Lym's so smart <3

<3&#9787; thinks that if people were intelligent they would make the right choice. That is not the case.
.

^But I never said that, this is what I said.

whether if someone is saying to snort a whole oz of coke or take a drag of a blunt, they should be smart enough to make their own decisions at their own risk.

Big difference.

Just because something is illegal, doesn't make it wrong.
Smoking cigarettes is legal. It's addictive and actually causes damage.
Drinking is legal. It's addictive and makes you a retard after awhile.

Weed is illegal, it eases pain / stress and it only causes damage if you use certain methods to smoke it. It can also be prescribed by a doctor.

I definitely don't support this thread, doctors prescribe it, why can't members suggest it?

I don't support this one bit. There's nothing wrong with smoking weed..

Maybe you shouldn't encourage some people to do it, but with others, it's a great thing. If I'm depressed, I smoke a blunt, I'm laughing at everything. Telling people to get high when their depressed in my opinion is a good thing. It solves just about everything. I've never had a time where I was being dull/upset and I smoked a blunt and felt nothing but being happy.

It generally also is only a suggestion. Most people that don't smoke it already, are going to go out in the hood, ask some random person for a dub, and smoke it. It's mainly going to people that already do smoke. Just reminding them of that possibility.

I have no problem with this or people suggesting others to take drugs to help them "relax or chill out". I highly doubt that if someone has a beer bottle or shot glass in a rank image or anywhere on their profile would be enough to encourage a child to start drinking. And, quite honestly if it did, I would be VERY surprised. I have seen hundreds of people with drug related or alcohol related avatars, signatures, posts, and even emails. We are part of a website and I don't think we should try to regulate what people do outside of here. You never know where the person is coming from, in my state, it is legal to use marijuana for medicinal use. Plus everyone can react differently to drugs. What it comes down to for me, is that people here are smart enough to be able to make their own decisions and I don't think petty comments or images are going to have much influence to them.

The Personal Support forum is A LOT different to the other parts of the forum, what you say in there can change peoples lives. People post in that section of the forums because they genuinely need help and they are going to take most advice into consideration.
People in a bad time of their life think differently than they would would normally so the act of taking drugs may seem very little to them at the time, as they think things couldn't get any worse.

Don't do school, stay on drugs kids. I am 100% sure any of those whom suggest recreational drug use to solve a problem are not medical doctors. I do not support illegal drug use to fix a problem (it is against the law) but I also think the users who suggest it should not be infracted or have their posts deleted. The original poster should be smart enough to weed out the bad from the good advice.

The way I see it is if you start telling people what they can and can not suggest for people to do you are putting your personal thoughts on everyone. It the post is a troll, then ban them. If it is spam, ban them too. If it is someone honestly trying to help, why do anything?

Those posts are probably the best summation of the entire argument and the reason for why it's not a viable suggestion.




One other thing I'd like to know is, Shoop, have you ever come across an instance on Sythe where a user who was seeking advice in the PA section was suggested the use of recreational drugs to deal with their problem, and then as a result of that wrecked his/her life? I've yet to come across anyone who's complained that their life was ruined as a result of a suggestion they received here.

No, I have however seen post of people trying to get off drugs such as weed because it has ruined their life. They didn't do it because of what people on Sythe said, but the simple fact their lives have been ruined by a drug seems a good reason for someone not to suggest other start taking the drug. What ever that drug might be.

It's been stated multiple times, and it'll be continued to be said.

Marijuana is not physically addictive, and it does nothing even close to ruining lives.

No one who smokes only weed is on the corner sucking dick for drug money.
No one who smokes only weed is starving themselves for drug money.

No one is depressed because they smoke weed.
No one has died because they smoke weed.

I fully support the op if it said "Illegal dangerous drugs" but weed is not a dangerous drug. Danger is when your life is in trouble, weed does not put your life in trouble.

You keep using the same excuse to why it should be against the rules, the fact is that weed does not ruin lives, so your previous post was invalid.

bump... I don't know if this has been resolved yet..

 

[Sypherz]

No questions, support. People are such idiots.

 

[spots13]

well I haven't read all the post buy I got to say I do support shoopadoop idea and let me explain why, if it is a bad idea to auto-medicate some medicine even if it's not illegal just because you are not a doctor to really understand what is happening in your body, and even if you are you should go to another one just for impartiality, if that is with a common medicine why you are just telling people hey just go and smoke some pot, which is illegal and not usually medicated by doctors.

This should be implemented throughout the whole site, promoting illegal drug use should be against the rules on sythe.

So? Runescape and WoW aren't physically addictive but people sure as hell get addicted to them to the point of their life being somewhat ruined.

How do you know any of those things? Also people can die from weed very easily if it is laced with a toxin/poison of some kind.

How does it not ruin lives if a person is content to just sit around smoking weed all day instead of doing something constructive with their life.

It's not illegal everywhere.

Neither are some other very other horrible things people can have/do. I don't really see the point of that argument especially when the VAST majority of the user base on this site are from places in which it is illegal.

I think you just made the best anti-weed post ever. :laugh:

Also I'm not anti-weed at all, I just enjoy discussion

 

[burny]

Come on guys...its the personal support forum.

 

[Sypherz]

Well that doesn't nescesarily mean the we should support it.

You're right, maybe we should ban discussion of MMOs as well.

 

[Lym]

I never said you should support it. I said not to make discussion about it against the rules.

It's used for medical reasons in a lot of places. Why would you ban discussion of it, that's just retarded. How about we ban any talk about real world trading / gold farming also!

Exactly, never going to happen. So why ban discussion on a form of medicine?

 

[Dave.]

It's not illegal everywhere.

For the most part it is, id also like to state that the majority of sythe users are under the age of 18 so enouraging children to do drugs even if it is legal in some places is still wrong.

 

[Kabal]

You're right, maybe we should ban discussion of MMOs as well.

OP didn't create this thread to ban the discussion of weed.

My understanding is he doesn't want people to suggest taking drugs as a first resort to solving problems.
