definitely a name i'd have opted to hyphenate if i were in her shoes.

im with you. im a recovering addict myself. one of the first things you learn is not to glorify past experience. and anyone who struggles with those things should be surrounded by encouragement.

im sorry it wasnt intentionally vague. im in full agreement with you. despite my personal opinions on drug use, as well as the valid arguments from an american standpoint. ie: drug incarceration rates directly reflecting a white supremacist agenda. the china sub isn't the venue for this topic. and when i say these topics should stay in other forums, im again agreeing, and saying that there are better venues for that topic. thats all. i see people responding to this as if its as sleight against there free speech and i dont think thats the case, i think you are trying to bridge multiple and vastly different cultures and i think this topic is a good step in doing so.

sure, i can agree with that. ive had my experience with them but i don't see why this should be a problem. rules are rules i suppose. its perfectly valid to have negative opinions on drug use, even if i think some arguments are cringe, the same is true for advocates. i didnt come here to promote chemical use or the effects there of, i came to find solidarity. it really shouldn't be controversial to be asked to keep those topics in other forums.
