| I don't think they are ignoring you. I saw the pic, and it was in "dried form" as you put it. It was not some plant growing in the ground, it had already been harvested. |

The difference is that posession of a poppyseed bread roll is not illegal in Virginia.

I see SC decided to ignore this comment. Cannabis Sativa (the name of the plant from which marijuana is produced) is used all over the world for a wide variety of pratical needs. In many countries it is a staple industry that provides thousands of people with jobs, and supplies many more with basic needs; like clothing and food.
Marijuana is only marijuana, and is only classified as an illegal DRUG, when it is in it's dried form. I see nothing about illegal plants in the site rules. Yes, it is against the law to grow Cannabis Sativa in the US, but no where in the site rules does it say it a user is not allowed to enter a picture of a illegal plant, it only states an illegal drug.
Cannabis Sativa has many very close kin and subspecies, most of which are identical in appearance, and some of which contain no THC whatsoever. To say that because this plant looks like Cannabis Sativa and dq it for such a statement should mean that any picture of a mushroom should also be disqualified. Their are 57 different types of mushrooms that are commonly used for the same purposes as marijuana. They range a number of different species of mushrooms, and all look quite different. I'll even bet that some of the pictures of mushrooms taken on this site contain psilocybin (the drug contained within magic mushrooms). If labuda's picture was disqualified for looking like Cannabis Sativa then I expect every picture of a mushroom to be disqualified as well for looking like one of the 57 types of psilocybin mushrooms.

PS - Also, the chance of a Cannabis Sativa being grown in Montreal, out of doors, is very slim. Cannabis Sativa requires very specific conditions to grow, and unless someone was nurturing it very dutifully, then there is a very small chance Cannabis Sativa would survive. |
It was in its dried form. The image was not of a leaf but of a dried marijuana bud.
That the photograph was of marijuana in its dried form is not the slightest bit in question.

I doubt a picture would get a DQ for showing a shirt made from hemp, or hemp rope. Hemp is not made from the bud. While I find nothing wrong with the picture, and thought is was well done, it does go against the rules here, and I knew it would be DQ'd.
And if you want to use that logic, than any pictures of grapes, or wheat needs to be DQ'd be cause it can be turned into alcohol. |
