Rule 4: Do not promote or put drugs/alcohol/tobacco/weed/psychedelics/inhalants in a positive light.

Some comrades mentioned in private channels that weed is not addictive, I’m not going to argue on this point because this is a fundamental divide between China and some western countries.

My view is that whether you’re addicted to them or not, you shouldn’t promote these substances or put them in a positive light. It’s fine if you don’t agree with me, but anyone who leaves a comment here arguing the opposite will be banned from the community (30 days for now).

If a lot of people oppose this rule, either by downvotes and/or number of comments, I will willingly step down as moderator of this community.

    I’d like to add that such phrases should be backed up with sources and details

    Absolutely, yes - that’s what I meant in point 1

    depending on the context

    And that is the core idea behind point 3

    Also, I’ll add point 4 - caffeine and theobromine (the active ingredient in tea) are technically psychoactive drugs, but I think it would be fine to talk about coffee and tea.
