I own a pretty large forum. It has a lot of traffic and it is an anti-drug page. My question is that people are saying you cannont visit your own page when using Adsense because you create false impressions?

If this is true, I face a problem. When having such a large forum, there tend to be quite a few jerks and posts have to be removed by me and such. I have moderators, but I need to be on my site to keep control.

Is this true that google may cancel my account for going to my site?

BTW I do not plan on clicking any of my own links, just visiting the pages.

Don't know where you heard that, but it isn't true. You can spend as much time as you like on your site (or forum). No one here has ever reported hearing from Google about impressions, only about clicks.

What they don't want is a publisher making fraudulent impressions (to make a fraudulently high CTR % lower). They don't care about the average publisher visiting pages on his or her site and going about daily business. I wouldn't worry about it, unless your own page views are a fairly significant percentage of the overall number of page views in your account.
