    We encourage everyone to join the guild, whether you are for or against Cannabis; a user or a non-user. Everyone has an opinion and that’s what this is for. It is more of a discussion guild now where people may share their experience and knowledge. We would like for everyone who is interested in sharing their views regarding cannabis to join. We love to hear differing opinions on the subject, and are interested in discussing and debating anything and everything having to do with it.

    This is a friendly guild, so let's keep it that way.
    You’ll be more convincing in discussions if you’re
    RESPECTFUL and POLITE
    rather than argumentative or rude.

This should go without saying, but nevertheless:

Do not, under any circumstances, participate in the trafficking
of any regulated substance via this guild or Gaia at large.


Doing so is against U.S. law, which means it violates Gaia TOS and
could get you banned, possibly arrested, and the guild deleted.


-:÷:-_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ -:÷:-

Familiarize yourself with the INTRODUCTION thread;
therein may be found 'High' Minds' rules and expectations,
which are updated as necessary.


Hey, if this weren't worth knowing, we wouldn't bother to post it. ^_~

-:÷:-_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ -:÷:-_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ -:÷:-


Regardless of whether you applied or were invited,
the first thing you should have done here was
to read and acknowledge the
DISCLAIMER.

If you haven't yet, please do so.

(NOW)

  • User Image·› A wørd (okay, several) of explanation:
    User Image
    The subject matter in this guild, to be very blunt, pertains to drugs. For many, it is illegal to possess or use, and for most of the rest here, that 'legality' we tout is actually quite fragile, and hotly disputed.

    Furthermore, the local laws under which we live are secondary on Gaia, whose Terms of Service are much more restrictive -- and it only takes a click of a mouse to delete a thread, a user, an entire guild. Just by using the site, you agree to accept responsibility for your own actions and not hold Gaia liable for any unpleasantness you may encounter on the site. Our disclaimer serves to both reinforce that waiver and to extend it to this guild; your acknowledgement of it verifies that you're aware of this.

    Those of you who know me can attest that if I just wanted to hear myself talk, I could b***h and debate and argue semantics in the ED for days -- and have. I do not like assuming an authoritarian type of role, or restricting access to resources like this guild. So I'm definitely not just bullshitting when I tell you that to remain a member of "High" Minds you MUST respond to that thread appropriately. A handful of you have responded in the thread but need to re-read the first post and edit your original response.


    If you have trouble with the disclaimer -- if the wording throws you off, maybe, or English isn't your first language -- then get ahold of me, or one of the other staff members, as soon as possible so we can get it worked out.

- spank you. ^^
