Take this a step further...what about the thread on the "Party & Scene" board from some fools talking about the price and quality of Ketamine?
JFC...it's basically PCP. Why not turn this into the "High Times" discussion board?
There is also a difference between expressing 1st amendment rights and citing sources and methods. As with the case of "How to be a Hitman," used as manual - a stencil - for a murder case in Maryland, the publisher, not the author was found GUILTY of libel. It is a fine line and the courts are likely to look the other way most of the time. Unless, you use the information to make a GHB or K lab, which in turn generates a product that kills someone.
The FBI and DEA are far smarter than we are about being invasive when necessary. If they think they can pin a few smaller birds down with the hopes of nailing sources, they will. Tools like Carnivore and other electronic invasion devices can be tunneled in easily without your knowledge. It doesn't matter how strong the encryption is, 128-bit to Blowfish, once they know your keys, their in.
The beauty of this community is that there is some great knowledge out there for amateur, serious, and pro-builders alike. A lot of this shared knowledge has probably helped quite a few of us stay physically safe and better our physique in the process. I for one, know that I don't really want to mess around with DNP to lose those last 10 pounds that won't cut. Frankly, there are some folks here that probably could pass board exams in endocrinology.
Bottom line is, free speech has its time and place, but if talk about illegal drugs with NO relevance to body-building start to permeate the board, we could all be in for a surprise.
