If someone is asking for advice on how to sell marijuana, or how to purchase marijuana, that would be wrong.
As I said in question referred to in the OP, synthesis instructions for illegal drugs are LEGAL. Maybe they shouldn't be on Mahalo Answers, but Amazon has no problem selling them.

This comment really applies to most of the answers but I had to attach it to one. Why are so many people (even Jasoncalac) assuming that a question on growing marijuana would relate to the USA and its laws? The web is international, and so is the English language. Surely Mahalo hopes to be international too.
I certainly agree that the web is international but the company running the site is not. Federal Law in the US often holds those offering a service liable for actions that take place, so Mahalo has to decide if there is a chance for legal issues on their end by allowing conversations such as that on the site.

While Canada does have some legal, licensed medical marijuana farmers, some states in the U.S. have also licensed hemp farmers (marijuana is the product of a variety of hemp) in the past; this has come to be an issue with federal law, as the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) banned commercial hemp farming. This matter is still in the process of appeals, so far as I can tell, but it would be unwise to count on any specific outcome.
Several other countries in the world produce a legal, industrial form of hemp, including (according to wikipedia) "Australia, Austria ... China, Great Britain, France, Russia and Spain." However, these may require appropriate licensing as a prerequisite.

I have a uncle who is legally obliged to grow marijuana but didnt know anything about it. he questioned the young kids, and found his answers through them... and I know there is more intelligent people on here to help distribute the right info and the positiveness of the legal uses for marijuana.
if the question is regarding crossing state lines, then no. conducting growing marijuana in a hidden/compact environment, than maybe his purpose of the question should be questioned/deleted.

After a little thought about the matter my view on this is that it should NOT be allowed in the sence of solicitation for the following reasons.
1 - The internet is a interstate connected medium.
And therefor it would not be considered legal to solicit the use of any drug.
2 - Sometimes questions of this nature have alterier motives and only invite hostility.
3 - It's simply unethical.
So in a solicitory form I don't think it should be allowed
And even in a informatory form I think it still be questioned greatly.
Now that I had a little time to think about it ....
I would rather we not allow these types of questions if the user does not have a calm rational concern and acts childish about the matter.
I would rather see this community focus on more fruitful mainstream questions and leave all the crap for yahoo :P
Simple as that.

I thought about the interstate aspect of the internet too (and how some US attorneys have tried to use electronic communications as evidence of wire fraud like in the recent case against the Governor of Puerto Rico.) But I still think communication that involves illegal topics is not necessarily illegal.
If anything, it could possibly be admitted in court as evidence of illegal activity but not illegal in itself. So if the asker of the question gets arrested for possession maybe the question he asked will be used in his trial.
But I do agree with you on principle. That it shouldn't be allowed but more for the reasons that i said before. I just think it's bad for the company to allow it. It's a liability and affects the reputation of the company. Imagine if some kid took marijuana growing advice and started his own growhouse, his parents could sue, unsuccessfully probably but it would be a PR disaster.
And this goes to all inappropriate lawsuit inducing topics like suicide (tips on how to do it), drugs in general, violent acts, crimes (maybe how to pick a lock/break into your house,car is different bc u can legally pick locks if it's your own property) but u get what I mean.

So it would seem logical that a written, public discussion of growing / possessing / using an illegal substance in the United States might not be the wisest activity on Mahalo.
I'm just saying...

M$That said, I think mahalo should be kept family friendly for the most part. So I think these sorts of questions should be placed in a special section with a disclaimer indicating the adult nature of the questions or banned altogether.
But I have no idea how you can name the category :-D I don't think drugs is an acceptable name for a category.
It doesn't offend me personally and I find that kind of topic engaging. But I'm just watching out for the fact that as a new company mahalo should aim at a general audience and these sorts of questions can alienate many users and in fact hurt business.

However, the law is clear as mud as Feds have a marijauna pill to be used for medical patients..cancer and etc.
The question involves so much interesting stuff like law, ethics, federal policy, relationship between federal and states that how can you not allow it to get those areas of expertise in the answers?

The law is not as unclear as you think in the sense that marijuana use in general affects interstate commerce or so says the Supreme Court.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzales_v._Raich
But as my Constitutional Law professor says: Even breathing can affect interstate commerce!... :-)
The Commerce Clause is officially the most abused clause in the Constitution.

M$Remember as well that anyone from any country can ask and answer on the net. In some countries marijuana is legal, in others a serious felony.
However, just because something is illegal doesn't mean you can't talk about it on the internet. Only a few things are treated as taboo for discussion by society, mainly involving unusual variations on sex and particularly heinous violence.
Actually, it looks as if the question in question, so to speak, is poorly asked. The answer would apply to all plants and gardening.
When in doubt, don't censor is my suggestion.
