I have been a member of RIU for 4.5 years, since November 2008. During my time here I have learned a lot and I believe I have taught a lot. I am a marijuana grower, poppy grower, and a chemist(mainly opioid chemistry). I have wrote extensively on all 3 topics but a lot of attention has been paid towards poppies and other opiates because I have received many questions on the subject. And during this time I have received alot of positive feedback with people asking questions and such. I have also received some negative criticism. I have always been the type to accept peoples opinion. I have never wrote anything encouraging people to do what I do. What I mean by that is that I have never typed something out and said to people that they needed to try this or anything like that. I have typed out instructions on how to do certain things but that's it. I let people make up their own mind's and I always assumed that this whole website encompassed that whole attitude, to let people make up their own minds...personal freedom. But the other day I have come to realize that I was wrong. Last week I started a thread in the Hallucinatory Substances section titled "Homebake Heroin Synthesis". The thread was going to be a how-to guide on how to synthesize heroin out of codeine. While I understand that heroin is not a hullcinatory substance I posted in that section because alot of the threads in there are about other drugs besides hallucinatory substances such as cocaine, meth, kratom, khat, opiates, etc. So I created the thread and people began posting, most of it positive, and I started receiving questions and messages. But there were a couple of people who had a problem with this thread, saying I was going to kill a bunch of people, and one even requested to have the thread removed. Well yesterday when I logged onto RIU I found out that it was removed. So in the past 4.5 years I have never had this issue. I have wrote on many different topics relating to poppies, heroin, and opiates in general. I was shocked to discover that the thread was removed because I always thought that RIU was about personal freedom and people could make up their own minds. Most people who would have read the homebake heroin synthesis would of done only that...just read it. I'm sure some people would of also tried it and out of those people some would have gotten it right and made heroin which they would've used. But once again isn't that their right? We are all adults here(or are suppose to be at least) and as a adult can't people make up their own minds on what to read/write, what to do, and what to ingest? Yesterday I found out RIU's answer to those 3 questions and their answer to all 3 is NO. NO we are not free to read/write what we want, NO we are not free to do what we want, and NO we are not free to ingest what we like. Censorship is alive and well at RIU.
