Does dick sizing about drug wisdom dampen Bluelight's drug culture?

[NerdOnDrugs]

I know I'm guilty of it. You are too; if you've made a post. We all get some pleasure rattling off drugs used and experiences had.

So the question to me is whether this is just a sidebar and doesn't get in the way of the purpose of BL, harm reduction, mind expansion, etc.. or is it something we should consciously avoid here?


I mean, there are different ways to show people ur cool and smart.. like in the title I used alliteration. fuckin wicked..

 

[SirTophamHat]

dawg y u think i stay in drug culture forum 90% of time. this is the most non judgmental laid back outlet for that sort of thing. i appreciate u all (yes u) who post in this neck of the woods. speaking of drug dick sizing where is phatass or ravinraphael?

 

[NerdOnDrugs]

Well I guess I'm a DC supremacist too then.. %)

Fuck ADD you're all aspies, the Euro/Afro tagteam, even fuck the homeless subforum... fuck Anonymous you pussies..

everything will be fine just as long as we aggressively amputate the cocks of the syphilitic flashers

 

[Blind Melon]

Yes and no. Many people have experiences that are worth reading about, there is a lot to be learned from some of the posts here, regardless of the poster's intention.

If some one wants to feel brave or bold or whatever I say let 'em. We all come here for different reasons, and we all take something different away, but I for one like bluelight just the way it is. And if you wanna talk drug-dick-sizing just check out a 12 step meeting.

Edit: I do think that (and I'm guilty of it too, quite a bit actually), when people talk about the combos and doses of drugs they have and are taking it should be pointed out what heroic doses are being consumed. The average person cannot handle 5 Xanax bars, a .5g shot of Heroin and some rails of blow. Or 7 grams of Psilocybin Mushrooms + two hits of Salvia and a few tabs of X, and that should be noted.

Afterall, there was a female that died after consuming 2mg Buprenorphine + 5mg Diazepam + 1 Beer. I know for a fact in the OD section that wouldn't get a 1/3 of the posters well, so things like that should be noted.

Exaggeration on a Internet forum is as natural as breathing. Everyone does it.
Does people's slightly or severely exaggerated stories take away from HP goals? I don't think so.
I feel like most people that post in DC are generally telling the truth in recounting experiences. And most of those stories are told with a goal in mind beyond dicksizing.
A warning of what can happen if you get too deep, mix these 3 drugs. The crazy shit that happened when you spent the week with a meth dealer, etc.
Cautionary, humor, advice, pov on this that or the other. It all has a potential benefit to someone. If it contains some exaggeration and/or what could be perceived as dicksizing? Meh. Oh well. Still has value. IMO.

 

[weekend addiction]

I can't remember exaggerating any post. But I'm sure after taking a few extra Xanax back in the day my stories became much wilder.

I can admit that if I'm in the right mood I enjoy correcting people. But I try to do it without being rude or sounding like a know-it-all. The reason I like to correct people is that I don't get much of a chance to correct people in real life without looking like a junkie.

Eg. At work today somebody said to be careful about being near pot smoke for even a short time because you will fail a drug test. I couldn't correct that person without looking like a junkie.

Good reply. I actually made fun of your username in another thread, calling it lame. Wish I hadn't. Not to mention bupe is literally on my soon-to-try-list and I should probably not be as cavalier as I would be not reading that tidbit at the end..

I pretty much agree with this POV..

..and love doing this.

 

[Blind Melon]

NerdOnDrugs, lol. Don't worry about making fun of my username, it's all good. Blind Melon was my favorite band for a little while, but I also chose the name because Blind Melon used to be a slang term for a hippie.

As far as Bupe is concerned, don't worry about that chick who ODed on 2mg Bupe, 5mg Diazepam and a beer. It's all about tolerance my man.

My experiences don't matter. The drugs I've used don't matter. Reasoning about pharmacology from a launch-pad of evidence is where things get interesting.

Fuck ADD you're all aspies

To some extent, sure, but very likely below the level of clinical significance. I would say that we're mostly a very nerdy or INTP-centric bunch (see the MBTI personality inventory). This is leading me to doubt the veracity of your moniker.

ADD is definitely more INTJ-centric than INTP. DC is more INTPish and "open minded". Aspergers have more INTJs and in second ISTJs, then INTPs. (just my own estimate, and based off a couple poll threads on a big aspie forum..lonelyplanet i think)...

I used to be really into MBTI for like 2 years... so really that should slap the Nerd off my handle right there. Oh an I'm INTP, guessing you are too? That or INTJ.


edit: just realized im dick sizing about fucking MBTI.. that should never happen again.

 

[Seyer]

very nerdy

So I noticed

ADD is definitely more INTJ-centric than INTP. DC is more INTPish and "open minded".

I think that you might be miss-applying the MBTI, in that you have to look at use of the cognitive functions by each type rather than the dimensions of each type in isolation. For the INTP, Ti guides the construction of conceptual networks as the ultimate goal, the secondary function Ne providing intermittent external confirmation and disconfirmation of this framework. However, for the INTJ, Ni provides less structured insights that are used to guide Te in shaping the external world.

The 'vibe' I get from ADD suggests that the key project is the construction of our shared conceptual interaction with the world, not a project of tangible, practical action.

Here are a couple of articles suggesting the prominence of the INTP type among those diagnosed with Aspergers:

How so? I think that it cements it on there a bit more firmly.
A nerd: someone who cares enough about something to read about it and get excited about talking about what he or she read.
But really, I think that you need to get more nerdy about drugs.

Oh an I'm INTP, guessing you are too? That or INTJ.

Hah...yeah, I'm a pretty paradigmatic INTP.

[ohshea]

I hang out in DC because i find it the most interesting and nonjudgemental corner of BL. Some people can really be jerks thinking theyre superior because they have a higher post count than you.

Anyway, i like to hear other people's stories and i share my own as well, because us junkies and/or tweakers have found ourselves in scenarios and situations unimaginable to a square. But since weve all been through it, we can relate, and thats why i feel comfortable reading and contributing. Makes me know I'm not alone in my experiences.

I do not like the dick sizing though, i try not to do it and just tell my adventures just as they happened, mentioning the drug but never the amount consumed. Every junkie definetly has their fair share of tales, but i dont like when someone is sharing and actin like a billy badass what theyve gone thru tops anyone elses experiences and their life should be a novel and they should be in prison for life had they been caught with all the crazy things they got away with. I dont really see too many people doing this too often, but every once in awhile ill come across a post where the author seems to be trying to impress us asnthe junkiest junkie.

Like i said, i dont see dick sizing too frequently, but when someone is just sharing an interesting story, i love to read it.

I gotta stop you at "cognitive functions" (but I read all of it).

Even though MBTI is built upon the blood and sweat of Jungian cognitive functions; the literature, while interesting, is purposely vague, often fluff, and beyond hyperbole imo. At least the E/I S/N F/T P/J divides have been partially backed by peer reviewed studies. e.g. extroverts have more blood flow to certain parts of their brains, introverts have more blood flow in other regions (the ones that separate us from lesser animals like the prefrontal cortex, heh).

That's why I think they are the third, possibly second most common type to have it. Agreement there.

But really, I think that you need to get more nerdy about drugs.

You are all too right, there. I have a terrible memory for detail (my left brain skillz are lacking). Even before I used drugs, I was in most of the advanced classes, but couldn't tell you the months of the year in order. I still can't rattle them off with great confidence.. granted I never put great effort into it.

So I've read thousands of drug related terms over multiple times, but those bastards won't make the jump towards to long-term memory. My visual/audio memory is great, but that's almost worthless compared to verbal and detail memory in this world.

Hah...yeah, I'm a pretty paradigmatic INTP.

I'd change "paradigmatic INTP" to the more concise "dogmatic INTX" for you.. but that's just me

 

[BlueHues]

I don't like specifically bragging about exact quantities and varieties of drugs people have done....I just don't like people who haven't experienced shit and try to act like they know everything about getting high...that irks me....I only post about things I've actually done....I have at least a 10 year head start on a lot of people and I don't even care...but don't act like you fucking know what you're talking about unless you actually do....In fact, I'd love it if people actually posted how they came to use drugs....It would give them a lot more credibility....but the fact is, half the people on here are using drugs in isolation and their wisdom is based on online sources....

Dick Sizing Clarity

Here's a good example of somewhat mild dick sizing just made by a noob perhaps trying to impress, I'm leaving his username out of it. Now maybe another noob reads this, not knowing enough about tramadol's seizure risk, takes a hero dose, has a Grand Mal, and dies. Probably won't happen; but just an example of potential threats dick sizing has to harm reduction:

In my past experiences, every time I've dosed tramadol I use about 4-600mg (I have a high seizure threshold so I tend to take more than whats recommended in a 24 hour period.). It gives me a very, very, very SLIGHT minimal opiate buzz but when I take it in high doses I tend to stay up all night and chain smoke about 3 packs of cigarettes lol.

 

[BlueHues]

As pointless as it is to post that...and as potentially harmful as it may be...it sounds true! Why you exactly you would post that is another story....
