There is no "one person" being talked about here. This has come up a number of times in the past, and I brought it up now for clarification because it has been prevalent in chat recently very frequently for whatever reason.

it is irresponsible to do things for shock factor that breaks the guidelines, it is also immature to think you can make the rules in adult chat. The idea of adult chat is to allow for mild innuendo in adult talk. NOt just lets talk about smoking weed together and get stupid in there.
Doc was kind to point out what was ok and what is not, remember this is not a democracy there is rules in PC forums and chat. There are other chat rooms on the internet to discuss the kind of drug use you seem to be interested in, and others seem to be interest in, you could check them out and see if it fits your purposes.
We have guidelines in place to keep our community safe and happy.
Warmest Regards, Tams

Agreed all around with the refraining from talking about drug use.

Look, there are literally hundreds of online forums you can go visit to talk about your drug use all you want. We are not one of them, if that's the focus of your conversation or why you are in the chat room.

I don't mind a quick, passing mention of something like, "Hey, I just poured myself a glass of wine and am about to clean up the dishes." But not another 5 sentences about how wine is the best beverage in the world, and you don't understand anyone who doesn't like wine, or why shouldn't everyone be drinking wine along with me... What you think is "social" to you could be very triggering to someone else (especially, in this for instance, to a recovering alcoholic).

And please don't think that one room is free of the community guidelines. The guidelines exist throughout the entire community -- in any chat room, in PM, in social groups, you name it. We have the guidelines to help all of us guide our behavior so everyone can have the best possible experience here while working on their own mental health recovery or improvement.

Thanks,
DocJohn

Wait, one final bit of clarity. My understanding is that PMS have greater flexibility. For example, if I am.PMing with a friend on here and we choose to discuss, let's say, politics, privately, we would not be in violation for that. But if I used a PM to harass someone, i, of course, would most definitely be in a tub of hot water.

Is this true DocJohn?

Yes seesaw, that would work!
