Showing Original Post only (View all)Looking for support for a possible new group! (the Cannabis group) [View all]
Last edited Fri Apr 3, 2015, 08:54 PM - Edit history (2)
Alright, so another poster and I were discussing in a thread earlier about how it's unfortunate that there is a lack of a cannabis group on here, especially given all the users of both medical and recreational marijuana on here. I'd love to have a space to discuss those issues and things related to it. I looked around, and couldn't find much discussion about creating one, so I decided to go ahead and propose one now. Any thoughts, comments, suggestions, and especially declarations of support are welcome!
Take a look over this SOP I came up with and let me know what you think.
Our Statement of Purpose:
This group is intended to be a resource and an open forum for all things marijuana: discuss legal matters and advocacy efforts, post strain and product reviews, provide medical marijuana resources and assistance, talk about growing techniques, explore the possibilities of industrial hemp, etc.
If we get enough support, I'll go ahead and take this to the administrators. I think this could be a really good way to consolidate a lot of the research and resources that there is plenty of on here, and I'd love to have a good spot to have discussions about it.
Edit: Thanks everyone for all of your support and kind words! This thing went way beyond mine and tishaLA's expectations! I will be petitioning the admins for a new Cannabis group within the hour, and I'll make sure to post a link back here when we get it running. You all have a nice day now
Edit #2: Posted in AtA, just waiting to hear back now!

Real music fans should be able to stick a toe into just about any genre, and wiggle it around IMHO.

You make a very good point, and one I kinda agree with. I wasn't sure if I should add it or not.

Growing hemp is illegal but hemp products like fabrics & paper are legal.

I'd disagree, because the problems getting industrial hemp to wider usage, etc are directly tied to

A strong mind and a strong stomach will get you through just about any high dosage.

You will note that here in Oregon our party has its head on straight regarding the issue.

I thought about that, but there's a lot of things that don't really fit into drug policy.

Well, my suggestion involved a morphing of the two groups to accomodate all issues and topics.
