Limiting responses to Questions ask by people?
Why is it that ANSWER allows people to ask questions about Marijuana usage but limits responses ?? In many states Cannabis is legal so answering a question in an honest open way is a problem!! Could you please explain this to me a bit more! Thank you for helping!
I guess I might need to refresh my understanding of guidelines! I love ANSWER and don't want to be terminated from this site!

A large number of the questions are from the US site, where it is illegal. Therefore, posting an answer that advocates or encourages the use of it is illegal on THOSE questions. Since we can't see that an answer is coming from someone in a country where it is legal, the only criteria we have for reporting is where the question is posting from. So if your answer is pro-marijuana, be sure the question is posted from a country where it's legal. Even then, you risk knee-jerk reporting from users who don't bother to check.
