Information is not knowledge

>When i first came on this site, I was very impressed by how careful everyone was to stress that their particular experience with a drug could not be generalized. This was important for me to learn because, like many other newbies, I was a drug illiterate (and still am). It's easy to excuse Sal's posts since he merely gives people references to other sites where they can get help self-medicating. Would you all feel the same way if he posted information about sites where you could obtain firearms, or information about suicide methods? To the uninitiated, there might not be a real difference. It's a cop out to say that it's up to us to use the information wisely. That may be, but in many if not most cases, it surely will not be used wisely because it is afterall, only information and not knowledge, and I think it's foolish to assume everyone knows or appreciates the difference.
