this is naive to say the least, maybe you should ask yourself when someone posts a trip report what is the motivation, cui bono?
A world where access to information and knowledge is earned and that knowledge is protected and used wisely is far better than the lowest common denominator we see on here. it is not a minority that abuse the information that is provided it is the majority, sadly. I can count most of the responsible users on this forum without having to take my shoes off.
This is naive, to say the least. You might be a wiz at chemistry but have you
ever bothered to take a cursory retroanalysis of history? Pretty much every civilization says that is exactly
not the thing to do. I can't even believe a moderator would suggest such an outrageous, unsupported fascist way of governing this board. Not even as a specific model for governing bluelight, but as a the
best model for a "world" in general?
How exactly are you going to qualify what makes someone appropriate to post in ADD,
who is in a position of authority to determine who meets these qualifications, and how are you going to possibly guarantee that this arbiter remain precise and fair in his decisions?
For example, if just
one vendor manages to work his way into this "elite few" that somehow decide who meet proper qualifications to post in ADD, then the purpose of the entire elite is compromised anyway. A small elite is historically more prone to corruption and error.
Anyway, here's how I see it:
1. It is hubris to assume that bluelight is affecting the absolutely enormous expanding bubble that is the RC scene anymore at this point. These speculative enforcements may have had some preventative efficacy had they been implemented before the RC scene could be allowed to explode at its current rate, but the fact is that the RC bubble is already expanding and it
will not stop until it pops, bluelight or not.
- Instead of viewing bluelights supposed "contribution" to the RC scene through a vacuum, actually consider the alternative... if ADD is not here to produce accurate information on new chemicals, do you think that the vendors are just going to
sit on their asses and let the RC scene die? Are you naive to the point of myopia? What will happen is that in the absence of information being fueled by ADD, vendors will push
something else - anything else - to continue the profits. The result is that these chemicals will probably be less researched, less understood, and very probably more misrepresented (because at this point they don't even have a base of information from which to push product - they're just going to pick a name and push out whatever the fuck they can get away with). You have two options, which is to have ADD public and allow the products that will inevitably continued to be pushed by the vending community to have even a semblance,
some sort of bedrock of information to support them - while
simultaneously allowing potential (not only potential, but
inevitable users of these chemicals access to relevant HR information concerning these drugs, such as toxicity levels, long term affects, etc. Or, you can take the alternative already outlined. Take your pick.
So yeah, in your highly distorted perspective of the RC scene, chemicals will not be vended if we limit ADD - but what you fail to realize is that it is not that "chemicals will not be vended," but rather that "
these chemicals will not be vended." In favor of: what, exactly? Lesser known, probably misrepresented chemicals that will inevitably produce the exact same effect on the status quo concerning these chemicals in the first place? Get your heads out of your asses, and view things realistically. This is basic economics guys, a giant expanding bubble has already been set up and there is really no way to limit it unless you made some
enormous systemic regulations - oh wait, that's called drug scheduling. I highly doubt, no, in fact, I am
100% sure that limiting ADD will not prevent the chaotic outward expansion of the RC scene at all. The most we can do is damage control. You are going against the entire fibre of bluelight by suggesting such ludicrous ideas.
