Even though I'm all for pot, I have decided to take down the law-breaking pictures that were displayed on my site. I realize that I did not want to start any trouble, I just wanted to run a guild. So I changed some stuff around so that is is "presentable".
I plead the staff to unblock me from the front page now =).

Breaking what law? You didn't break any laws. You might have broken the TOS from BYOND, but you certainly didn't break the law.
As a matter of fact, to be honest, I am really surprised that BYOND removed you from the front page to begin with. Yeah, you had some images of Pot on your BYOND Blog, but I looked at your page, and I didn't see any guides on how to light up, or how to go buy an ounce from some guy in a alley. Your images weren't even offensive to be honest. And I don't see what the big deal was about. But that doesn't matter because it is still a BYOND service, they reserve the right to do whatever they want. Even if it does seem stupid. | |
His blog was basically slathered with "HEY GUYS LOOK WEED, WEED IS GREAT, YOU SHOULD SMOKE WEED."
Just because it doesn't explicitly say that doesn't mean that wasn't the overall message. | |

I don't do drugs, I wouldn't know that. My best guess would to hit up some kids over at the local community college.
Garthor: Thats the point though. It didn't explicitly say any thing like that. Each person is going to gather a different message from his blog. I know people who wear all sorts of clothes with a pot emblem on them, but know that they don't do drugs. The same could have been said for his blog. Yeah, maybe it was pro-pot, but so what. I honestly couldn't gather anything offensive from his blog. Unless there were honest complaints from users about his blog, it should have never have been a problem to begin with. | |

A poor idea at that. Lots of undergraduates that are in good universities/colleges go to Community Colleges to take classes over the summer (around here, anyway). Heck, At my high school, you can even opt to take all of your senior year classes at a Community College, and all of the classes count as AP classes towards your weighted GPA.

Kekeke, my friend has a shirt that says, "Addicted on it". And it has an Adidas version of a pot leaf. I told him he was stupid. | |

It's not illegal to smoke pot, just to posess it. After all, you were disposing of it.

Where I live, when they catch someone with pot, they are usually charged with:
1.) Possession of drugs. 2.) Drug Paraphernalia. 3.) Intention to use. I guess if you walk up to a cop and tell him you are high, or you just got done smoking a big blunt, they can't do a whole lot about it, but if they physically see you smoking a fatty, they could easily write you up or throw you in jail. | |
The law broke you.
