Honestly, do we really need to blab on about this stuff? I know it is tempting and fun to discuss PST but wouldn't it better for everyone if we keep it quiet.
i don't necessarily agree that the thread should be closed....but i do agree with everything else; i'm not going to be bumping or adding to this thread any more, just out of my own personal feeling that it has served its HR purpose.
harm reduction for me personally is keeping this thing quiet.
edit - the harm minimisation idea applies differently to different users. if getting the message about how to make PST out there means more people can use it recreationally (for comedown relief, occasionally getting high, pain relief), that is great for them. i want these people to play safe, and obviously information helps that.
on the other hand, those that rely on PST to stay functional (such as myself for large parts of the year) need the message to be a little more hushed in order not to lose our main source.
as i've mentioned, codeine doesn't hold me and i'm not interested in paying stupid black market prices in order to maintain my addiction. nor do i want to be 'outed' as a drug addict in the eyes of the medical/legal authorities etc by going onto some sort of legally proscribed maintenance program.
PST serves it's purpose very well for me at the moment, keeps me a law abiding, non-desperate, employable citizen and i fear what would happen if the option of medicating this way disappeared.
it's all well and good for non-addicted users to get the right information on this stuff, but i think there is plenty of information online and on bluelight already.
i'm not comfortable with adding any more to this thread.
