hello
this is the current text on creating a login on SR:-

In particular, because all connections to this site are anonymized, we cannot guard as easily as normal sites against brute-force and phishing attacks against your password.

Also, make sure you are visiting the authentic Silk Road onion url each time you log-in. If you suspect you ever log in through a phishing site instead, you need to change your password immediately."
i am suggesting we add something along the lines of "above 18 years of age" etc.
not that it can be effectively policed it is at an attempt to ensure the buyer is of age and is aware of this and might benefit the admins or SR.

Yeah do that just like porn websites do, it works! I promise!
-
First: It will work about 5% of the time.
Second: Why? How is a minor using drugs any different than you using drugs?

Would you let your kids do drugs?
edit: I'd be interested to hear your life story moonbear. Under 18, just got off probation, tried many recipes of spices, used kratom for withdrawal, acid, Vyvanse. You sound like you'd have some interesting stories to tell!

If my kids were 17, I'd say have fun getting high.
I'm assuming your calling me a liar using sarcasm. When I smoked a bowl for the first time when I was 14, I knew I'd get into using drugs, and I did. I started getting into opiates when I tried percocet, and am addicted to vyvanse because I take it for adhd so I can stay on deans list at school. As for probation, one day I got drunk on 4th of july and decided to blow up molotov cocktails in the middle of the street. I ran from the cops, went to kroger and stole another bottle of vodka. Unfortunately my mom called the cops on me because of the fire on our street and I got busted when I got home. I got busted another time stealing vodka from meijer March of 2010, and now finally got off probation.
Not everyone grows up in the same way. My abusive upbringing made me need a way to escape it all, and there are plenty of other kids like me. It's not an uncommon thing downtown.

Nobody who wants to join a drug market like Silk Road is going to stop because of one sentence in the registration page. And what's the benefit for SR, exactly? It's not like if he ever gets caught the judge and jury will be moved to tears by his effort to protect the young'uns and decide that facilitating all that international drug trafficking isn't that bad after all.
They *should* decide that facilitating all that international drug trafficking isn't that bad after all, of course, but they won't; and even if they do it most certainly won't be because of a non-enforced age policy.

What I fail to understand is why do they hate drugs so much? My dad said while he was in prison some of the worst sentences went to the drug offenders, and rapists could get lighter sentences.
Don't they ever wonder why it's acceptable to get wasted on liquor instead of smoking a bowl? Maybe that's why they call it "drugs and alcohol" instead of just "drugs" - they want to dissociate the two, which is very misleading.

That's a complicated question with a complicated answer. What it all boils down to in the end is the usual, though: control, religion, social acceptability and fear of the unknown. Tea, coffee, tobacco and sugar have all at some point been illegal in Europe because they were "dangerous drugs". Heroin was developed as a medicine to treat, among other things, morphine addiction. Cocaine used to be prescribed to children and adults for every sort of condition. Drug policy is one of those things that consistently makes no sense whatsoever.
A great book about this, if you're interested, is "The Forbidden Game: A Social History of Drugs", by Brian Inglis. It's small, very interesting and available online here: http://www.psychedelic-library.org/inglis.htm
That's a clearnet site, so all the usual warnings apply.
