Can we have a /high/ board to have a moderated discussion on drugs and experiences and education?
Kill yourself.
just use 420chan. Way too many Quentins here.
there is an entire chan dedicated to that
>>>420chan
>>373408
>>373406
How is this a valid argument against the board? If people wanted to discuss things on 420chan, they wouldn't be coming to 4chan. There are plenty of imageboards with video game boards, and even video game chans, and that wasn't taken into consideration when /vr/ or /vg/ was created. If anything, 420chan is irrelevant. If someone wants a /weed/ board on 4chan, 420chan's existence has no matter whatsoever in this discussion.
/psy/ would be a better option, psychedelics are the only good drugs and potheads are obnoxious.
>>>/420chan/
>>373543
The board shouldn't have a bias against a specific drug. The annoying pothead threads would probably be "rate my pipe" threads and political threads could be contained or kept on /pol/. The other ones you can just ignore it or deal with it.
>>373548
See >>373534
This just shows you haven't even read the thread.
Go to 420chan.
>>373554
See >>373534
At this point you guys are just shitposting.
>fuck off and stop requesting boards I don't like
>>373550
I can see it now, every thread begins with "DUUUDE WEEEED AYYY LMAO".
420chan is thataway.
>>373644
The point of a drugs board is so you don't have that kind of content.
>>373650
See >>373534
>want a specific kind of board on 4chan?
>leave 4chan
Just stop. Unless you're going to tell me that "fuck off" is your response to every suggestion, you're just using this an excuse against a board you disagree with. Provide a legitimate reason for why it shouldn't exist or deal with it.
Global rule 1 you dumb stoner.
>>373399
No , it will become an alternative to silk road so fuck that shit.
420chan called.
DUDE
Because I hate freedom
>>373659
That board doesn't violate rule #1, else moderators would be hard at work on those stoner threads on /b/. You're not going to be the first one to think this either.
>>373660
>it will become an alternative to silk road
This is one of the most retarded claims that is constantly spewed upon these threads. This board will be moderated and most of the users are nowhere near stupid enough to want to deal drugs publicly via 4chan. Any attempts at selling drugs on 4chan will get the same responses as /b/, troll responses and a 404.
Neither of the counter-points presented in this thread can actually be validated.
>>373671
Threads on /b/ and an entire board are two different things. It'll attract unwanted attention and a lot of 14 year old faggots. Even more 14 year old faggots. I don't want that. Especially because some idiot stoners who never grew up want an entire board of DUDE WEED LMAO. it'd be bad for the site as a whole. Not that you give a shit about that.
>>373674
/b/ is a containment board and is one of the worst boards on this site and not even that board has a huge issue with people dealing drugs on there. This is a board with a cp problem, as well. None of your claims are credible and you've given no explanation for them. Am I supposed to take this on your word? If the board is moderated, it shouldn't have much of an issue with "DUDE WEED LMAO", especially if the board's focus is not on marijuana. You're essentially creating a strawman out of this board and attacking it. I wouldn't even see this becoming a Silk Road if it was unmoderated. It makes no sense for a single drug-dealing thread to go unnoticed, the same way cp threads are swiftly removed. This is such a paranoid fear that it's insane.
>>373664
WEED
Just use 420chan
>wah wah I want it on 4chan
No. That's stupid, you're stupid. There's no reason when 420chan exists. I really like 420chan too, really chill guys over there and faggots like you, OP, would likely stick out. Go to reddit for your weed lmao
>>373787
>if a chan exists for it, go there
So we should get rid of /vr/ and /vg/ then? I mean, there's another chan with an imageboard for it.
If you think this doesn't make sense then you're hypocritical. That is the very same logic you're using here. You're really just making excuses because you don't like scary weedheads.
>>373802
Oh, this is a troll. My mistake, carry on m8
>>373804
First you dismiss OP's suggestion and tell him to go to 420chan and then you call me a troll for questioning it. Why is one imageboard having a place to discuss drugs relevant to whether or not 4chan has one? If we don't do this with video games or My Little Pony, then why this?
>>373809
Sorry man, you're just gonna have to try harder.
>You're really just making excuses because you don't like scary weedheads.
>I really like 420chan too, really chill guys over there
>>373809
He's right in the sense that 4chan will never get one. Because all it takes is one guy on an off day when mods aren't around to post contact info and sell drugs and then 4chan gets a load of shit. Mods are so fucking lazy they barely moderate legal content, much less making them work to prevent it from becoming silk road 2.0.
You're best just sticking to /b/ for drug threads. Or 420chan who are based around that and actually have moderation willing, able, and experienced in keeping that shit under control. Why do you think 420chan has rules against posting contact information? Because if someone uses the site to sell drugs, that site can get flak for it.
So, those really are your best bets. Not because "fuk u we dnt need boards", but simply because mod/admin apathy and the fact that after GG and the Fappening shit nobody on 4chan making decisions is gonna be touching a fucking thing that may be controversial. So, rather than crying in vain there's actually venues that cater to this. /b/ on 4chan and 420chan. I'm sure 8ch has some, but it's probably a lot slower than the first two.
>>373813
I'm not trolling, I'm just pointing out this logic you have. It doesn't make any sense. Why should 420chan existing have anything to do as to whether 4chan or not adds a board? Why do you only apply this when it comes to a drug board? If other chans' video game boards was taken into consideration, we wouldn't have /vr/ or /vg/. I call it an excuse because that's exactly what it is here.
>>373815
>Because all it takes is one guy on an off day when mods aren't around to post contact info and sell drugs and then 4chan gets a load of shit. Mods are so fucking lazy they barely moderate legal content, much less making them work to prevent it from becoming silk road 2.0.
There have been people in the past asking for hookups on /b/. Perhaps drugs have been sold on /b/ at some point. This is just one rule violator out of many, and mods report it just as they do with anything else. When you say "load of shit" what do you mean? You can see the issue the same was as people posting cp on /b/. When mods catch it they report it.
The question isn't whether or not mods can handle drug deals, it's whether or not it'll be an issue in the first place. One post isn't going to put it out of commission.
And thanks for actually explaining your reasoning and giving an understandable reason as to why someone should go to 420chan, even though I disagree with it.
>>373399
1. Stoners are inherently low quality posters. We don't need them here.
2. Global Rule 1. /b/ gets a pass due to so few drug threads being able to be passed off as "artistic works of fiction" that only fools yadda yadda. A whole board dedicated to drugs? That shit won't fly.
3. Reading the thread, you seem to be so entitled that you act as though it is everyone else's responsibility to provide reasons that the board SHOULDN'T exist, when really you're the one that should be proving to us why the board should exist. And the only reason for the board would be more people on the chan, in which case see my first point.
4. Wow you sure are one massive crybaby faggot.
5. ????

>>373817
>There have been people in the past asking for hookups on /b/. Perhaps drugs have been sold on /b/ at some point. This is just one rule violator out of many, and mods report it just as they do with anything else.
I agree. That does happen, but at least then once it 404s mods can't do shit and it's not a board for drugs. They can just go "woops" and let it slide. If it was a board FOR drug talk, then that'd change.
>When you say "load of shit" what do you mean? You can see the issue the same was as people posting cp on /b/. When mods catch it they report it.
Legal trouble. If there's a drug board and feds get a sniff that it's being used for drug dealing? Seizing servers, checking access logs, etc. A lot of hassle for no gain in the eyes of the admins and mods. And given the recent controversial stuff, nobody in charge is gonna go make another controversy or make a board that allows for it. Probably why they won't make a loli/shota board, but allow it on /b/. On /b/ it just blends in with everything else and isn't an official board made for X content.
>The question isn't whether or not mods can handle drug deals, it's whether or not it'll be an issue in the first place. One post isn't going to put it out of commission
But it could put the site out of commission. If it's used for that and it 404s? Cue feds seizing shit to find out who it was. Personally, I agree with you. If the mods weren't fucking lazy and scared of controversy it probably would be made. But they are lazy and scared of controversy, so it ain't gonna get made. Hence why /b/ and 420chan are viable alternatives.
Fine
>>373817

The implication isn't that we shouldn't because others have. It because others not only have, but have better than we could or should. And for all the other stockpile of reasons in this thread. I really don't understand your connection with /vg/ and /vr/ though. There's no logical connection. Never heard of a vchan on anywhere near the scale as 420chan
>>373818
>2. Global Rule 1
No. It is perfectly legal to discuss drugs. You can mention on any board that you smoke marijuana and it is perfectly legal for you to do so. Also to think that the rest of 4chan shouldn't be taken with a grain of salt is laughable.
>>373818
Well considering there was an entire 300 post thread about this in the past week and why the reasons are pretty clear, I think OP is continuing a past discussion. You can search the archive if you want an explanation, although it's essentially: there's a large community for it, there IS demand for it, and it could be a board to discuss experiences, the drugs themselves, laws, health, and education. So why shouldn't people provide a reason as to why it shouldn't exist? This isn't a hivemind, after all.
drugs are used by people i don't like and i don't want them to have a congregating point on 4chan
>>373820
>then once it 404s mods can't do shit
This is incorrect. Also, reporting a thread before it 404s still works. So mods don't can't let these things slide. It still shows up in their logs. They can still deal with it as they do with cp.
>But it could put the site out of commission. If it's used for that and it 404s? Cue feds seizing shit to find out who it was.
What makes you think it will be an issue to begin with? You have to take into consideration what a majority of 4chan think (dealing drugs on 4chan isn't exactly bright or successful), and how the other users on that board would respond, and how swift janitors and mods are when it comes to reporting illegal content (which is usually pretty swift).
>>373822
420chan is an entire slow-moving chan with many different boards for different kinds of drug discussions. All that's being asked here is a single board with a more generalized discussion. Do you think 4chan has no demand for that? And considering what I mentioned before, how is 4chan too ill-equipped to deal with someone asking for hookups on 4chan? Besides the fact that these threads aren't going to get very far, and no one is likely to respond with any personal information (on 4chan, no less) as to where to get drugs, mods deal with cp often on /b/. How is it possibly going to be an issue? It just sounds like a paranoid fear to have.
>>373828
You didn't even read Global Rule 1 and you have nothing to say about the rest of my post except "NUH-UH."
I guess drugs really do rot your brain.
>>373830
>This is incorrect. Also, reporting a thread before it 404s still works. So mods don't can't let these things slide. It still shows up in their logs. They can still deal with it as they do with cp.
For drug threads it's correct. And once it 404s it goes off 4chan's server. The way reporting CP works is illegal content gets reported to the top of the list and the ban/report button sends the info to the proper authorities. Nobody gives that much of a shit over one drug thread on /b/. If it was an entire board for drug talk it would be a big deal. There's a reason why drug forums use the whole "someone I know" kind of talk when discussing buying, selling, and shit like that and have to walk on eggshells. And since on 4chan we don't have user accounts, it's not as simple as the mods going "XxX420W33dL0rdXxX was the guy, go ask him". It's anonymous, so it requires them to do far more investigation into shit. And nobody in charge wants that.
>What makes you think it will be an issue to begin with?

It'll be an issue because this is fucking 4chan. People still post CP for shits and giggles. Nobody's gonna try to buy or sell drugs? They already do it on the /b/ threads. A board for it would be full of it. And all it takes is that one fucking asshole to do it when there's no mods or janitors on, or it happens one too many times for the liking of feds, and since 4chan is cross state/international, that means FBI would be involved, not just some local cops. And even that would be enough. It's not something anyone wants. I don't know what to tell you. 420chan is set up for that talk, and you can already sneak around on /b/ and talk about drugs and selling/buying if you want.
>>373834
As an addendum, just go to /b/ for it if you wanna discuss it on 4chan. It gets away with it since it's low key. Why you'd want an entire board for it and do nothing but basically pick up a megaphone and go "HEY, WE'RE DISCUSSING DRUGS HERE, GUYS. HEY, THIS BOARD IS FOR AN ILLEGAL SUBSTANCE, DON'T MIND US!" is dumb. On /b/ you can sneak around and talk much more frank about drugs than you can on other drug forums, or even 420chan. What you wanna do is just throw up a flare drawing attention to yourself and then possibly have one asshole bring the entire shit down and cause problems.
>>373691
Whoa, getting triggered! Calm down Smokey. Go like, smoke a bowl and put on some floyd, bruh.
Fuck you. You're gay ass middle schooler board is never going to happen. Fuck off to 420chan, where you can DUDE WEED LMAO all you want. Fucking stoners are as bad as furfags and lolishits.
>>373831
>If this thread of unanimously 'no' is any indication, I'd say burden of proof falls upon you
There is a large community that could fill that void for discussing health and science and different drug experiences. If 4chan can fill a board for My Little Pony then surely there's no excuse to not have a board for an even larger community.
>>373834
Mods can still ban people for posts that 404. CP that 404s before getting removed does not just slip through the system. If someone reported it, it's still in the logs. This is the same for drug threads.
>>373838
There's nothing illegal about the board, and most drug communities actually do not use "someone I know". Stoner threads are as common as loli threads. That's something to take into consideration when it comes to how easy it is for mods to ignore it.
>Because this is fucking 4chan
That's not a reason at all. This is 4chan, and thus it is generally considered unwise to post any personal information here or to try to buy drugs here. The best and only examples that can be used are the few times people have actually asked for hookups on /b/. They're ignored, they're responded with trolls or insults or "nice try FBI", and they even get removed. 4chan would not turn into another Silkroad. Take a good look, there are mainstream stoner communities out there that are perfectly legal.
>And all it takes is that one fucking asshole to do it when there's no mods or janitors on, or it happens one too many times for the liking of feds, and since 4chan is cross state/international, that means FBI would be involved
They are involved more than enough with cp threads on 4chan so they're probably very familiar with each other. "Anyone got hookups [zip code]" that goes ignored probably isn't at the very top of the FBI's priority, so you're over-estimating how much of a backlash that would get. It would be reported just as anything else and it'd go through the standard process. No, the President won't be briefed on it.
>>373832
>You didn't even read Global Rule 1 and you have nothing to say about the rest of my post except "NUH-UH."
There are multiple daily share threads on /mu/. There are multiple daily stoner and drug threads on /b/ (part of the reason why it should have it's own moderated board, there's a large community for it. "I don't like these people" isn't a valid excuse to not have a drug board when My Little Pony gets their own board, and /trash/ was just recently made.); 4chan had a /rs/ section of 4chan with crawled links from multiple file hosts for years. There are copyrighted images posted everywhere.
Cp? Illegal threads? Leaks? They enforce that rule. When it comes to the others I mentioned above, the mods are aware of those threads. They'll even remove huge album leaks on /mu/ but allow share threads. Someone talking about his high, his drug trip, his bong, the politics of weed, the health benefits of a prescription drug, etc. is not illegal. The content being posted is not illegal. Hell, share threads are more illegal than someone posting a picture of his bong and making a stoner thread on /b/. It really shows how sheltered you are if you believe this.
>>374496
Do you realize that there are a lot of different drugs other than weed? Many of them are even legal, have different purposes and are used by completely different types of people. Either way you're just generalizing a group because you have an emotional personal grudge against them. I can only hear

>Rules #1

>Y-you just haven't read rule #1
Is this a joke? The point remains that moderators don't already ban people left and right for merely mentioning things that are illegal. Stoner threads aren't removed, share threads are constant on /mu/, copyrighted images are posted everywhere. If a discussion on drugs (which some are legal in the United States) was something they considered to fall under rule #1, they'd have long set a precedent against any mention of drugs on this site. Interpreting a rule in such a way that is never enforced isn't making a case for you, it's showing how incredibly short-sighted you are when it comes to how the rules are enforced.
>>374954
>The government would never get off their asses.
The government is more worried about child pornography and potential shooting suspects coming out of 4chan rather than the very small number of attempts of people asking for hookups. I've addressed this above, but this isn't something to be concerned about. Hookup requests don't go anywhere, and they would be removed swiftly as they always are. The notion that there are people keen on requesting drugs on a site as public as 4chan rather than any other means (that are common and less risky/retarded) is crazy and unfounded.

>still didn't read the whole of the post he was replying to
Jesus Christ anon, does smoking weed really make you that retarded? Here, let me spell it out for you AGAIN:
Little threads here and there see a lot less traffic and draw far less attention that a dedicated board does. A dedicated board warrants federal intervention on a scale that a thread here and there do not. Your favorite chant of "/b/ threads and file sharing" is meaningless due to it being on so much smaller scale (and because of /b/'s disclaimer adding to it). It'd be like saying "Man my friend Jamal has some cocaine in his garage and the neighborhood watch don't say shit to him. Therefore, I should be able to pave my driveway with kilos and the cops can't touch me!" Discussing weed breaks GR1, as weed is illegal. Also, you're still acting like we're the ones that have to justify shit to you, when it's the other way around.
Actually, what the fuck am I typing this out for? You've proven that either you can't read or you can't follow basic logic. I could write banana saxophone penis cake and you'd still shout out about how everyone is wrong and obviously you're the only one with any brains and WEED AYYYYYY LMAO.
>>375802
>A dedicated board warrants federal intervention on a scale that a thread here and there do not.
Elaborate on this. Stoner threads are untouched on /b/ and hookup requests are treated the same as they always have. What kind of imaginary discretion would be made if those same posts were on a drug board? You can't claim federal intervention without elaborating on it.
>Your favorite chant of "/b/ threads and file sharing" is meaningless due to it being on so much smaller scale
Child pornography is on a "much smaller scale" then. Reports are reports and whether it's in a thread or in a thread on a board related to that thread, it's still a report.
>It'd be like saying "Man my friend Jamal has some cocaine in his garage and the neighborhood watch don't say shit to him. Therefore, I should be able to pave my driveway with kilos and the cops can't touch me!"
No, it's as simple as this: discussing drugs in threads on /b/ is not illegal, and it doesn't become more illegal if a drug board is created.
>Discussing weed breaks GR1, as weed is illegal.
Sharethreads link to actual illegal pirated albums as opposed to your average pot thread. The fact of the matter is, which has been said time and time again, is that moderators don't apply this rule to drug threads. They haven't in the past and there's nothing that suggests they will in the future.

>>375814
Discussion about partaking in illegal activities violates global rule 1.
One of the largest websites in the United States isn't going to overtly host a board where people talk about their experiences with consuming substances that violate United States law.
>>375818
>violates global rule 1
Like I've said:
>Sharethreads link to actual illegal pirated albums as opposed to your average pot thread. The fact of the matter is, which has been said time and time again, is that moderators don't apply this rule to drug threads. They haven't in the past and there's nothing that suggests they will in the future.
Stoner threads would be banned by now and disallowed on /b/. They are daily and constant. Mods aren't just slipping up each time they are created, they simple aren't dealing with them to begin with.
To say the rule is enforced and interpreted this way would mean that it also applies to gore, sharethreads, copyrighted images, and any mention of consuming drugs on any part of this website. I haven't seen that at all. Even a small mention your pot use on /g/ wouldn't be allowed if the rules were interpreted this way.
I get that not everyone has read the thread, but it's another thing to completely ignore points people have presented above and then repeat the same arguments. No, discussing drugs is not illegal, and no moderators don't ban drug discussion threads to begin with.
How would you explain these inconsistencies?

This was on /b/. This is how these threads tend to go. And this is /b/, where it's easy for moderators to overlook things. In a contained board with a focus on discussion, moderators can lower the very small chance of someone making these threads (which 404 quickly and get no valid responses, as most people aren't retarded enough to sell drugs over 4chan") to an even lower amount. This is how crazy of a fear it is. To think 4chan would become a Silk Road is absolutely hilarious. Any desperate person can ask for pot over the internet, but it doesn't turn a community into a drug haven.

Actually I'll just link to the archive /b/thread/656950571/
Pretty much a joke response. "Lol just go to any street corner". I've seen "nice try FBI" many times, and often times I see no responses. If anything, a drug board would remove these threads from /b/ and put them in a board that would actually have a closer eye on these types of threads, which are already relatively harmless to begin with (they 404, are swiftly removed, ignored). In a board specific to drugs, who's to say the users would even put up with those kinds of threads? Does 4chan not build a sense of community within it's boards?

There is no reason to have a board dedicated to the discussion of illegal content.

Adapting? There's plenty of drug users on this site to begin with.

How could you get this angry over nothing?
>Go to 420chan
How many goddamned times? "Fuck off to another chan" is not a valid argument against any suggested board. Unless you tell me this is your go-to response for any suggested feature on this site, and that you don't only selectively use this argument when people request things you disagree with, it sounds like you're asking for a hugbox.
>>379427
>There is no reason to have a board dedicated to the discussion of illegal content.
There's a lot of things wrong with this notion that mods actually go around banning anyone who talks about things that are illegal. When you interpret this rule literally, like you're doing here, you would have to include a lot of things that are openly discussed on this site. This is really a fear if you're completely new to the world around you.
>>379296
It's the nature of the board more than anything. There's no mods to ban garbage like these posts:
>>379427
>>379349
>>379298
And this is a niche board to begin with. The only type of people responding are the type of people who would go to a questions and answers board on 4chan to begin with. The type of people asking for all sorts of bans, or whining about bans, or whining about other users or mods. Else you would actually have a decent discussion going on, rather than arrogance.

I see that you stoners are still just ignoring everyone else in favor of plugging your ears and shouting "I'M RIGHT YOU'RE WRONG EVERYTHING WOULD BE PERFECT YOU'RE JUST SHITPOSTING." So when are you going to stop crying that you don't have a hugbox for your illegal activities? Or maybe you could actually give a reason for the board to exist in the first place, other than "It would be a great board because I say so."
Yes please

This is blatant projection. Read the thread, there are plenty of reasons given for the creation of this board. I've seen plenty of ear-plugging from the other side. You're one example, as you ask for reasons when they're already given in this thread.

>If this board is created, what would it entail?
Since this thread is full of rampant shitposting, it might be good to to lay these things out. If someone else jumps in with, "whaa, I won't give any responses until you do" while blatantly ignoring all other posts in this thread, it's probably a troll.
Honestly it would probably just attract more teenagers who got bullied in highschool by kids who smoked weed, like this thread did.
It would keep discussion contained from other boards, which people always bitch about, with all the new boards japmoot is adding i'm sure there will be a trial eventually, maybe as more American states legalize.
Give it a year or two.
>>380581
>It would keep discussion contained from other boards, which people always bitch about, with all the new boards japmoot is adding i'm sure there will be a trial eventually, maybe as more American states legalize.
I think this is a good idea. Consider how many threads on this topic is discussed on /pol/. I don't think it would focus specifically on weed, either. I've seen equally large threads about other drugs. It would contain all discussions relating to the topic. People don't realize how many discussions can actually be made, and figure it's just drug users talking about how high they are. I beg to differ.
Discussions on health
Discussions on education and prevention
Discussing personal experiences (you could see threads asking people about their own specific experience or others sharing their own. Their experiences in certain situations, around certain people, or with certain drugs)
Discussing the drug itself
When I see posts like >>380135
>>379731 it makes me question the point of this board. If there are no moderators moderating it, there are no moderators reading it.

Because if you separate everyone into little groups then the discussion quality degrades and stops being the polyphasic kind that makes 4chan so good
You will bore of each other after a month, believe me, part of the good thing of this site is that different people talk about different general stuff on different days and different time-frames. Not two similar threads have the same content, and thats only reachable because of how general the sections are
DUDE
>>381191
If this board gets created, I'm pretty sure "DUDE WEED LMAO" spamming wouldn't be allowed.
>>381205
But if you have a daily thread of the same thing, I think it makes it worthy of consideration. It's not as if stoners and discussion of drugs won't leave /b/ or /pol/, there'd just be a board for more specific discussion of it. It's a huge community and I think there would be a lot of potential.
Alcohol, cigars, vaping, pipes, I think those should be included in this board. This opens up a new potential of many threads to be created, and a larger community. If it were just potheads, I'd see it dwindling down quickly.
>>380813

A majority of the posts of people throwing memes and telling others to fuck off are from those against this idea.

New boards aren't decided based on whether another imageboard has them. They are all separate communities. Also, why is it lazy for me not to "fuck off" when you tell me to? Just leave the thread if you don't want to have a simple discussion about this idea. I don't understand why you're getting so angry about it.

You mean in 2005? I wouldn't consider that relevant. Furthermore, other imageboards has no relevance as to whether or not 4chan creates a board with the same topic. After all, why was /mlp/ created if Ponychan exists? Why does any board afterwards exist when 4+4chan houses them all? I'm sure you tell people to "fuck off" everytime a board is suggested, and you probably recommend imageboards where they can find these boards, but I don't know that. If this thread bothers you that much, just leave it. I mean you can't expect people to fuck off every time you tell them to, so why waste your time spamming it all over this thread?
>>381682
Well I've only quoted three posts out of a thread with 137 post and you've only asked for reasons to have the board. I'm sure you can find more posts. You will even find points made against it. I can't personally delve into it myself, but I did give you what you asked for.

>Come back to this thread 2 hours later
>WHAAAAAAAAA!!!
Holy shit. Everyone calm down, shut the fuck up, and answer me this:
What rules do you think this board should have?
>>381701
No discussion about how/where to buy drugs.
Unless you actually want 4chan to be
shutdown.
>>381705
I think the greatest thing that would prevent those kinds of threads would be the users. I mean think about how many people stupid enough to ask for drugs on 4chan, and then think about how many people stupid enough to BUY drugs off 4chan. Those threads would 404 off the map. The beginning stages of the board might have users being wary of these threads as well. They don't want to lose it, and that should be some good motivation to help keep it clean and discourage those kinds of threads.
>>381701
The basic stuff: Keep shitposting in /b/, no asking for drugs, no guides, etc. Maybe have a disclaimer like there is on /b/.
Last thing:
Stoner threads fuck off to /b/. Marijuana would be discussed, but general stoner threads and "rate my bong" wouldn't make sense being allowed on that board. It'd oversaturate the board.
>>381722
>no guides
I don't think I heard this mentioned yet but this is a necessary rule. It's not hard to find guides but it's a good principle to have. No discussing illegally obtaining the drug too. Stories might be okay.
>>381722
Drugs threads with less shitposting occur frequently on /r9k/. Sounds like you'd even enjoy reddit the most though.
>>381722
A whole board about drugs would devolve into kids asking where to buy drugs.
The average poster on 4chan is still in high school.
>>381722
Oh you STONER FAGGOTS HAVE MORALS NOW HUH??? Fuck off my 4chan and go to 420chan or /b/ you fucking disgusting losers. Keep bitching because I can see how mad you are and it's tasty. Fuck OFF AND GO SMOKE YOUR FUCKING PIPE YOU STUPID WHINY LITTLE BITCH. THIS SITE IS NOT GETTING THIS BOARD, PERIOd. We won't allow it.
>>381729
I think even /pol/ has better discussions too. But why not contain them into one board?
>>381732
>would devolve into kids asking where to buy drugs.
I don't think so. After all, /b/ is on a much worse scale than what's being suggested here, just on the basis that a lot goes overlooked there and it is mostly unmoderated, and I don't even see hookup requests gaining ground there on the occasion they're even posted. There would be more eyes on those threads in a drug board in any case.
I have a few questions since this is pretty vague. Paint a picture if you will: How frequent would you think these requests would be? Would you imagine entire pages of drug requests, or massive hookup threads in certain cities? How long would these threads last, and how many reports would they get? What would the general users of that board be doing in response to it?
Just don't fall under this guy's radar, he seems pissed: >>381733
>>381743
>why not contain them into one board?
Because
A) It would barely have any activity. Most people don't want to talk about their illegal activities. Oh and it would probably become a:
B) FBI honey pot. Gather all the druggies in one place lmao.
C) It risks 4chan getting sued or even shutdown. A huge risk for a slow little board.
D) You already have boards where it can be discussed with little shitposting: /r9k/, or /pol/ if it's from a political perspective.
E) sage
>>381757
But the FBI doesn't target these threads on /b/ and /r9k/, and people don't mind posting in these threads. After all, discussing your personal drug habits isn't illegal to begin with. Of course though, talking about a bunch of coke in your home is a different story.
People really don't shy that much from talking about their experiences over the internet. Particularly on 4chan. Personally I see the fact these threads are spread out amongst different boards as a reason for it, and also proof that there's enough people to fill this board on 4chan. The threads are made constantly.
What makes you think it'll be inactive? I'm trying to consider all viewpoints here and I really can't find reasons to think that it'd be a slow board.
>>381757
Ahh yes, the FBI would love to spend billions of dollars targeting stoners talking about their experiences.. If it's legal and allowed on r9k why the fuck wouldn't it be in its own board?
>b-because it's in its own board and that suddenly makes it illegal and serious business
>but it's okay to make these same threads on /r9k/
Anti-drug logic
Who will moderate it?
>>381776
>the FBI doesn't target these threads on /b/ and /r9k/
Because they don't want to have to browse through a bunch of Pepes and ... uh... pic related, just to find a few occasional drug threads.
On the drug honeypot board the threads would be up for days. But anyway more likely is that some kid overdoses and then mommy and daddy sees the drug board on his pc screen and sues 4chan.
>>381456

Actually those threads are plainly visible, just search for "weed|marijuana|stoner|drug|pill" and you'll find just about any drug thread. These threads aren't hard to spot at all, and the mods have ways to report serious content to the authorities, so it shouldn't be an issue.

>>381780
A dedicated board means that the site owners have taken a legal stance as a haven for discussion of illegal activities, which draws legal attention. Simply having a few threads here and there (especially on boards with "only a fool" style disclaimers) can be waived as laziness or just plain incompetence. An entire board for the discussion of illegal substances is also harder to pass off under the cover of said disclaimers, as it is essentially the same as shouting "AM IBEING DETAINED?" at a passing policeman; it's not illegal by itself, but it's suspicious as all hell and guaranteed to draw attention. And yes, this is logic. Thank you for pointing that out. I'm surprised, as you seem incapable of following simple logic such as this.
>>381822
yeah yeah but the threads dont necessarily need to contain one of those keywords. It could be
>fuuck I need another hit so bad wat do?
etc
Also, the threads would be way more longlasting on the drug board so my point still stands.
>>381827
>Simply having a few threads here and there (especially on boards with "only a fool" style disclaimers) can be waived as laziness or just plain incompetence.
A few threads here and there? Son, I don't think you realize how many of these threads are created in the first place. No one is waving off the constant stream of marijuana threads on /b/ and /r9k/ as "laziness" and incompetence. Especially when cp is occasionally posted on one of these boards. And here you have the audacity to call it "logic". Is it logical for the FBI to pay extreme attention to drug discussion on 4chan only after a board is created, even though countless threads have been made in the past? Is it logical for the FBI to pay attention to stoner threads when they're not illegal or a high priority? I remember thinking the FBI spent its time monitoring perfectly legal discussions over the internet. We can't all stay 12 forever.
>>381828
Oh, I see. I was just making a point about how easy it is to find those threads. If they don't even mention those keywords, no worries. These threads don't get any serious responses to begin with and are almost always reported and removed. The best response you'll get would be "Nice try FBI" or troll responses.
For every question you have, you could probably compare it to how 4chan deals with cp. Mods remove it and report it to authorities and then they deal with it. It's not like they go after 4chan with lawsuits when it's over, because they took responsibility and removed and reported the material. They didn't condone it or endorse it, and it's the same with drug dealing.
And cp is a humungous issue that involves the abuse of children, so that should bring things into perspective here.
>>381848
Ah, yes. The old "oh god I'm actually wrong, time to post reaction images and shout NO U" defense. I'm sure that will get you a board. You'll also note that I never said FBI, so I'm not really sure why you're using it as the basis of your autistic screeching.
>>381858
The FBI would likely deal with a drug deal if one were ever reported to them. You don't see the relevancy? I'm not sure why you're talking about legality, then. Do you want responding to my post again? Or are you happy claiming I'm dismissing your post while you're ignoring everything I've said?
Unintended double post
>>381867
I would like to add that perhaps the DEA would be involved. Either way really pedantic to focus on that aspect of my post. The reason stoner threads aren't kept because of silly disclaimers, they aren't illegal in the first place. The mods would have no problem dealing with them if they truly wanted to.
>>381827
Disclaimers don't work like that, kid. The bit mean scwawy boogeyman won't take you away for posting a picture of some dude weed lmao
>>381867
4chan isn't deep web.
Moot had to go to court a shitload of times due to various shit that was lighter than drug deals.
Please understand that a drug board would lead to drug deals, and then deletion of said board.
>>381884
What kind of minor shit has taken him to court? Also what about hookup threads in /b/? Are those not a concern? They happen, they're trolled, and then they 404. What situation do you think would happen on this drug board that would put 4chan in the hot seat?

You can't fill a board like that with 150 threads. Sure you'd have a thread for each drug class, threads on harm reduction, safe illicit buying practices. The rest would be BWH and trips names my bong threads.
>>387039
>The rest would be BWH and trips names my bong threads.
They won't. At least, that's the general feeling I got from what's been suggested in this thread. Remember, boards have rules and this board would likely have some as well.
>Stoner threads fuck off to /b/. Marijuana would be discussed, but general stoner threads and "rate my bong" wouldn't make sense being allowed on that board. It'd oversaturate the board.
>The board shouldn't have a bias against a specific drug. The annoying pothead threads would probably be "rate my pipe" threads and political threads could be contained or kept on /pol/. The other ones you can just ignore it or deal with it.
I wouldn't mind.
>>373660
>No , it will become an alternative to silk road so fuck that shit.
Yes.... millions of people will suddenly think selling drugs on an open imageboard that the FBI is aware of is a good idea. Nobody is paranoid about it, this will happen.
And birds will shit eagles.
>>387330
That's nice but you haven't proposed what the rest of the 130-some threads would be after general drug class threads.
