You can talk about the legality of it. But talking about using it is against the rules.

Even if you live in Seattle and can walk into a store and buy it legally?

It's against the law so yes it is a moderation.

I have no idea why people think doing it or talking about it makes them seem cool, it's embarrassing to be honest.

It's still a federal offense in the US. Which means it's still technically illegal in California, even if the state of California says it's legal, and isn't acting to enforce federal expectations.

Which is actually the real reason it's always been moddable here. When GameFAQs says that talking about "illegal activities" as being against the ToS, it's them covering their own ass to avoid being sued over it. But because of how the law works they mostly only have to worry about whether or not something is illegal in California, which is where the servers and corporate structure for the company is.

That's also why "Well, it's legal in [insert country here]" has never been a defense - it doesn't matter whether or not something is legal somewhere else - all that matters is whether or not it's legal in California/the US (and conversely, it doesn't really matter whether something is illegal somewhere else either, which is why talking about beer isn't a moddable offense in spite of alcohol being a flogging offense in Saudi Arabia).

Until US federal law acknowledges full and unrestricted use of marijuana for recreational purposes, you're likely always going to run the risk of an "illegal activities" mod if someone marks it and a mod chooses to be strict about it.

GameFAQs is sad-- it mods with a SJW style, but they still get triggered over a natural plant.

It's only illegal because it would decimate certain other industries that are actually harmful. Liquor, Big Pharma...

Unfortunately, the alternative is to just make every facet of life a federal concern and eliminate "state rights" entirely, but that creates an entirely new host of problems.

Generally, the idea of different states having different standards really only becomes a problem if there's a huge difference in penalties (like you say, where possession of a substance in one state might be perfectly legal but somewhere else it's a multi-year prison sentence, where just forgetting you have something in your bag when you fly can fuck you), or when they're geographically close.

Like how, back in the early 80s, NJ had a drinking age of 21 while NY had a drinking age of 18, so every week hordes of teenagers would drive to NY, get drunk then drive home (which is a major reason why the federal government basically strong-armed the federal drinking age of 21 on all of the states, to prevent that sort of thing). Or similarly, how fireworks were illegal in NJ but legal to sell in PA, so every 4th of July thousands of people would just cross the border to buy fireworks and smuggle them home (which has, after decades, finally resulted in both NJ and PA lightening up their laws regarding fireworks).

Are you suggesting that states shouldn't be allowed to have their own laws?

...what? That's not how it works. And societies are always going to have things that are illegal but won't result in jail time, unless you want you have a fascist state that imposes prison time for stuff like littering.
