Shar,
You wrote that you agreed with me about teens emulating heros.
In today's society, the psychiatrist is held in the highest esteem by our society with the exception of, perhaps, a veternarian. In our community, which is pet friendly, our vet. is held in the highest esteem . Now if the vet endorsed illegal drugs in any way, i think that the esteem given would deminish. I believe that a psychiatrist is also to be the exempler to the community and not allow the potential for others to think that illegal drugs are permitted to be used by mental health discusssants on a public internet forum.
The rule on this forum is that the site should not be allowed to be used to facilitate any illegal activities and smoking MJ is illegal in almost all jurisdictions.
The change that I am asking for here is that the moderator of the site, that is a psychiatrist, follow his own law in his code about not allowing the site to be used to facilitate illegal activities, which using MJ is in most cases. Who is anyone here that could say that if a teenager looks at these posts in question here, that they will not be influenced to use illegal drugs? I think that it would be better to not take that chance and admonish the posts that write about poster's illegal drug use.
