Ok so I'm going to state the obvious.
I'd reckon the predominant user of this forum is from the U.S.
In the U.S., while attitudes are changing, it's still against federal and most state laws to cultivate this medicinal plant.
That being said, I'd imagine I'm not the only user who logs in through several VPNs and Tor before even opening this site.
So here's where cloudflare comes in..I have to keep verifying I'm a human. I get some unrecognizable text and spend several minutes trying to decipher the letters which are distorted in size, shape, and on an inkblot. If I'm lucky I get it on the first try, if not I've spent as much as 10 minutes trying to log in - after that I stop trying. I just had to retype a paragraph because a second form of identification popped up while I was typing this..REALLY?
I always have to copy and paste my posts into notepad before submitting because sometimes I'll lose the whole post due to the human check. I'll be clicking through the different threads and have to verify. WHY?
I really like this site, but this nonsense is making me consider taking my information elsewhere. I imagine it's there to prevent a DOS against the site specifically so that the provider takes the hit and has more capacity to do so. It's 2015 guys, a prepubescent irate 12 year old kid could take down cloudflare. Let's stop the annoying checks, please?
