Statement from the Board of Directors of Bluelight Communities Ltd
The board of directors of the charity Bluelight Communities Ltd have made a unanimous resolution to require Bluelight.org to more rigorously enforce our user agreement. We will not be changing the rules, but will require that the Bluelight User Agreement (BLUA) be fully enforced in all parts of our site. As directors, we have legal obligations to the Australian charities regulator to ensure that our charity is operating within the law and within the standards of conduct set by the regulator (the ACNC). Unlike profit-based digital platforms, Bluelight Communities Ltd is a charity that is required by law to serve our communities and ensure all our activities are aligned with our mission. It has been brought to our attention that a significant amount of content hosted by Bluelight violates rule #4 of the BLUA (You may not post or upload any content that victimizes, harasses, degrades, or intimidates an individual or group of individuals on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion...

25 Years of Bluelight!
I am honored and humbled to be able to wish Bluelight this very happy birthday. Bluelight has been around for 25 years now, in various names and forms. BL is older than some of our users at this point. From MDMA Clearinghouse, to bluelight.ru, to our current Bluelight.org. We owe our userbase a massive debt for all of the incredible contributions over the years. This is one of the most visible and active places on the internet and in the World for harm reduction. BL's legacy is palpable, and it's also still being crafted. Bluelight is truly coming into it's own to this day, now a registered charity in Australia. And the site has always been operated and sustained by it's own members, which has helped build such an amazing and open collaborative community. This community is incredibly important to me, personally. I browsed the site at a time when I was completely alone. I knew I had a lot to learn about life, but it always felt like the world was holding back on me, not giving me...

We have been around since 1999-ish, and as such, we have collected over time some epic threads - some timeliness, some capturing the moment exceptionally well. We take these most awesome threads from the various forums and put them in a special place we call Best of Bluelight. For November we will be featuring some of this forum's most popular threads. Who knows, maybe someday one of your threads will be there as well!

We will highlight other gems here in the feature forum thread.

Let's start off with one of the most well known topics of the drug-related internet: Can you fax acid?

Bluelight has so much to offer! This month we're focusing on our Sports and gaming forum!!

S&G is a laidback place to talk with other gamers and sports fans. We of course have most of the major topics covered, but you can find threads on just about anything here. Participation is everything around here, so if you have an idea (or just want to shoot the shit) about an underrepresented subject...go for it!

The busy season is just getting underway on S&G.

Calling all Bluelight NFL fans! Head on over to Sports and Gaming and check out their NFL thread. Lots of great discussion on this year's season and an ongoing Pick'em contest[/ulr]!

But it's not just sports, there's gamers at play as well. Check out the PC Gamers Whatcha playin thread, as well as other platform discussions.

Sports change with the seasons, and each new game launched is discussed in depth by members. Come join the fun, and say hello to the forum mods of D's and...

The Wiki Forum Is Now Officially Closed
The BL wiki started with good intentions, but ultimately people stopped contributing and the forum became a conduit for spam and basic drug questions. As such, it is now closed.

Should we ever find volunteers who have the ambition, time and knowledge to make a concerted effort to continue it, then perhaps it will be given another chance.

Thanks on behalf of everyone to the people who contributed so much quality content. If you ever see viable means to revive it, then I suggest you get in touch.

Cannabis Discussion (CD) is dedicated to the discussion of cannabis and is also the official home to synthetic cannabinoid discussion. Intelligent discussion of both basic and advanced cannabis related topics is encouraged. However, please resist the urge to post discussions like "Best Muchies" or "Best music to listen to while stoned", discussions like that are best suited for Drug Culture. How ever we do have a great social thread where your free to tell us what your snacking on while your smoking, or if you just want to say "whats up mannnnnn?" Check it out: CD Social

If its your first time to CD I recommend you check out our wonderful CD Directory! Filled with links to all our current Mega Threads and other threads of interest. Here in CD we like to keep things organized, cause when your stoned its hard to find shit. To do that we have a collection of Mega Threads with the prefix [MEGA] so there is no missing them. We ask that before you start a new thread, check to see if...

Forum Focus Month Jan/Feb 2018: Come Discuss Science & Film!



This is a new way of trying to promote lesser used (and often once thriving) sub-forums here on bluelight: forum focus months. Basically the idea is to try and give certain forums a bit of steam by cataloguing and encouraging use in some of their interesting and engaging threads.

For January/February, the forums will be Science & Technology and Film & Television.

Both forums have seen quite an upsurge in posts recently, and we'd like to promote both of them.

Science & Technology Active Threads Jan/Feb 2018:
Come and discuss science stuff in the following threads:

Bluelight Census 2018

GDS / Bluelight census



In partnership with Global Drug Survey, Bluelight is launching its own census. That's right, we want to know a bit more about our community. Things like demographics and drug use characteristics. And whether you use harm reduction information from website to inform what decisions you make.

This year, Global Drug Survey included an item asking whether people had accessed certain drug-related websites ever and in the last 7 days. So by partnering with GDS, we will be able to draw the sample of people who report using Bluelight in the last 7 days from the larger sample, and produce a short report on their data.

We will post that report to Bluelight's front page by February 2018. The report will be short, focusing on demographics, drug use statistics, rates of harm (e.g. emergency attendance), and use of harm reduction strategies.

You do not have to complete every section of GDS to be part of the census...

Mix of 25C-NBOMe, 4-FA and MDMA sold as MDMA in Melbourne, Australia

tl;dr – NBOMe mixtures sold as MDMA are around, don’t snort unknown caps, use test-kits wisely, look after your mates, and get your lab student/worker friends to contact us so we don’t need to rely on labs in Barcelona to access high-quality drug testing in Australia!

On the weekend 15-16 January 2017, there was a spate of poisonings, hospitalisations and deaths that have been associated a batch of capsules that were reportedly sold as MDMA or Ecstasy. Punters at Revolver nightclub and other clubs on Melbourne’s Chapel Street were affected.

The contents of these caps appeared damp, more like a brown sugar consistency than crystals or powder.



We obtained anonymous reports from people who consumed these capsules. The reports describe very strong hallucinogenic symptoms and paranoia. While in most cases, the symptoms resolved without medical intervention, they were very unpleasant, with one person reporting that they ‘felt like they were going to die or never be the...
