Hi everyone. Please share your thoughts and opinions about this following message, which I have had the sudden urge to share with you all. There is no background required of me other than to say I am very much like you!

The number of drugs that are readily available for our pleasure and benefit out there is massive, and it appears to me, a humble observer of myself and some others, that there is a lot of attention being paid to a particular form of drug. I call them pharms, which is short for pharmaceutical medicine, commonly obtained at both online and live in person pharmacies. It appears to me that these pharms are unbelievably, even proposterously easy to obtain. To add to this, the makers and sellers of them appear to be making plenty of money. I would now like to give some examples of popular pharms where I come from.

xanax, vicodin, oxycontin/codone, adderall, and all other forms of these uppers and downers. you get the idea.

I would now like to express my concern about the popularity of these drugs. First of all, the neatness and appearance of harmlessness that comes with their physical presentation has an obvious tendency to attract those of us whom would otherwise stay away from things like pipes and needles. A pill is just so simple and easy. Adding to this would be the danger of potency. Xanax, a popular street pill where I come from, can cause blackouts and possibly even death at some generally low doses, even more so with an alcohol combination. Dealers can make massive profits off of these pills by selling them for around five bucks a pop, while spending little money to get cheap versions or knockoff brands made by competing pharm companies. It is a deadly cycle, and the addiction comes swift. Withdrawal from some of the more popular drugs like Norcos and Xanax can be particularly painful and lasting.

Finally, I would like to add that I have personally used and abused varieties of xanax and norcos over the past two years, and I can honestly say that I feel worse than I ever have. No drug I have taken, including meth, ecstasy, coke, mushrooms, acid, and some others have given me more problems imo. These little harmless looking pills have made me feel very strange, and although I can't prove to you that they are the cause of it, I can say that the damage I feel from around 1 - 2 full years of fairly constant pill use can be felt in my bones, and I am scared for those who are either growing up with it or just getting into it. I would like to summarize this message by saying that I personally think these pills are far more dangerous than the following drugs: ecstasy, coke, shrooms and lsd, even heroin. All of this is from my experience and my opinion.
 
totally off topic: Damn, Liar, you've been here almost three years and barely posted a dozen times?

Wutsup with that?

Redirection of pharmaceuticals into the street market is always going on. The DEA has a lot to say about it, if you read their website.
 
What is your problem with the OP? All he/she is saying that all these legal drugs that are presented in a harmless way so nobody is scared to take them. Its not like picking up a needle is it.
Its true what he says that these legal pills can cause more harm to your body than the usual illegal drugs.
You can die from a benzo withdrawal but going cold turkey from heroin will just make you feel shitty.
A lot of pharmaceutical pills can really mess with your mind and not just in the short time, it can carry on even after you stop using them.

How can they be off topic when he is the person that started the thread?

^ His comment is nothing to do with OPs post.. therefore off topic :\

All drugs should be legal and obtainable via outlets. Responsible education should be taught in schools. Then i believe it should be like a driving test.. you do a course, pass an exam (on drug safety / harm minimisation) and get a licence to buy drugs.

People should be, ultimately, responsible for their own actions. Going on the idea that legal / uncontrolled chemicals are safer than illegal ones is ignorance on the part of the user.. although i understand the governments approach and the hundreds of wanker reporters are not entirely innocent..
 
Pills are a huge problem because meds like 'Norco' for example are widely dispensed and give one hell of a high.
White people in general find that abusing pills is much more civilized than shooting or snorting coke/H/meth and so on.
 
Ignorance is the problem, then.. not the pills themselves :\
^this.
Drugs are not to be taken lightly, and this holds truer the stronger the drug you're talking about. I exercise caution taking caffeine too late in the day, and I certainly exercise far more caution for stronger compounds.
The whole "but i would never have tried heroin, it's the oxycodone that tricked me into being an addict!" line of reasoning is laughable. Not only is it an obnoxious cop-out, but those who use it are almost universally the type that did NOT choose oxy because it was "presented as safer", rather they chose it because it had less social stigma. Then they cry that bullshit when they're addicted...somebody call the waaaambulance lol.
 
thanks for stating the obvious OP, but no one is shocked to hear people are abusing pharms. this has been happening since the introduction and rise of powerful pharmaceuticals since the 1950's. for instance, thousands of people died from the temazepam epidemic of europe and australia due to multiple complications of IV, and many ppeople even dieing from swallowing temaz while combining it with CNS depressants.

drugs and especially pharms will always be around, and i expect them to become even more prevelant in the future. shit i mean have of america is prescribed SSRI's. you have the wrong site to post on bud, almost all users Bluelight practice HR practices, which is the whole point of this website. we try to spread around knowledge and as healthy as possible techniques for using drugs. we have some really brilliant people that come on BL, especially in the ADD section. many users of BL are established physicians, pharmocologists, and synthetic organic chemists.

Is that the first draft of the speech you're gonna give before congress lobbying for stiffer penalties for prescription drug abuse? A DARE speech you're giving at a high school? lol
I think, at this point, people know prescription drugs can be addictive and dangerous if used irresponsibly!
 
Re the OP's last paragraph, i'm pretty much in agreement. Stuff like benzo's and opes are definitely far far worse to use recreationally than mushrooms/lsd/ecstasy/pcp/etc, due to the fact that they're wayyyy more likely to induce dependence. VERY few drugs cannot be used in an incredibly safe manner to get high - it's the lifestyle (addiction) that fucks ppl up. A junkie's major problems (outside of OD) are typically not directly related to the compound's primary effects, but rather the secondary effects (neglecting nutrition/sleep/life; using dirty needles; arrest and the lifestyle of "outlaw"; unhealthy focus/obsession with a compound instead of life; etc etc etc)
 
I think the pills are just weakened and more socially acceptable mimics of currently illegal drugs. They don't want to give you heroin, so they give you oxy. They can't profit off of cocaine, so they give you amphetamine. Just a way for the government/pharmaceuticals to control what you take, and make money off of you. Just my thoughts.
 
I'm going to close this. OP, PM me with some clarification as to what your actual question is - otherwise this is the sort of thing that goes in your blog.
