I’m thinking of statements like this:

> You are not permitted to post things that encourage illegal activities. In cases like cannabis, which is legal in some areas and illegal in others, we are forced to go by what is legal in Chicago, Illinois, where the SDMB is based. So until cannabis is legal in Chicago, you can’t post things that encourage its use here on the SDMB.
