YOGI: Cannabis is legal in Canada. We can talk about it and use it recreational in a responsible manner similar to the use of alcohol. Personally I've had no inclination to use it since I was in my twenties.
I suggest you try recycling your router, clear browser cookies and update your operating system. I've had no problems login into the forum and heaven knows where you been surfing ;o)
The site did appear down as a 404 error (site not found) for a few minutes a few days ago but I attributed that to Internet Node Splits due to heavy traffic.
