Why the druggies on the alternative medicine site?

There are so many people on this site who want to get high or want to flush THC out of their systems... why would you go to the alternative medicine site for that?

I've asked YA to make a separate section for them quite a few times.
Basically, it's a product of medical marajuanna.

All the druggies will want to ask questions about drugs, and there are so so so so many people like that in our culture. Most drug users are newbies though and just do it because everyone else is without actually knowing anything or having someone show them what to do. That's how things were in high school for me, so I highly doubt things have changed since then. Kids go online now, and yahoo answers ends up being the place to go for advice.
My argument with the admins was essentially "no matter what a lot of druggies will come here, so just give them one section you can moderate instead of having them mess other places up."
Thus far my petition has fallen on death ears, and I normally just try to ignore drug questions.

Thanks for raising the issue again!

becasue they are looking for an "alternative" way to clean up their pee. its most likely the only subject line that would come close to what they are asking.
if it bothers you, move on the next question.

She is correct. My friend is in his 50's and can't get a decent job because he's a pot smoker and won't stop. Oh he gets jobs, but if he gets hurt on the job, he is screwed! Plus the jobs pay always stinks.

Plus only wants day shift and close to home. Ha! Good luck!

i wonder the same thing when i see them. drugs aren't alternative medicine. and if you want to pass the pee test don't do the drugs. i though that yahoo guidelines say if it is illegal where you live don't ask about it on yahoo answers.

i don't hang out here a lot, but don't like to see drugs with alternative medicine since it is much more credible than pot smoking and meth.

cause they think they can get help for thier problem when they really need to do is go check into a drug treatment center to get the right help that is needed for them

Because it's the closest category, there isn't a "recreational drug use" category, so they just get thrown here.

Excellent question thalesgirl! I've been wondering the same thing. I guess they don't know where else to ask, but it is kinda insulting that they post it here. It promotes the idea that alternative medicine is somehow "shady".

Yeah I have been wondering why they come here wanting to know where to get drugs myself!!!
They come here because they want us to say goldenseal and this that and the other thing will flush it out so you can smoke on your way to the drug test, do this miracle cure and still pass the test. If they can't resist it long enough to get it out of their system I don't know how they are going to make it through a days work.

Thing is they caught on to what people do to pass the test and test for them too.

Might want to bring it to yahoo's attention.

Good question. It bothers me too. Alt Med is NOT about illegal drugs and how to cheat a drug test! If they can't figure out which category, I'll tell them! Go to Politics & Government - - Law Enforcement & Police. If there is a way to pass the drug test, I'm sure someone there will know. ;-) And at least the druggies would be headed in the right direction.

It is an insult to think that Alt Med answerers would tell someone how to keep doing bad things to their health and lying about it.
