How can you say he didn't know what he was doing? For all you know he could have done a CWE, taken a massive dose of hydrocodone that he was accustomed to ingesting, and then had a little too much alcohol. I mean, I hope it was that way, and not acetaminophen poisoning...

But really, it doesn't matter how he died. What matters is the fact that he is missed every day by the amazing, caring community that is bluelight.

RIP

I still remember this, hard to believe I have been on this site for over a decade. I still remain firmly convinced that Harm Reduction is a very important and ignored health issue.
 
It's to bad his Mother didn't understand this site:

"We also learned of Web sites on the Internet that have chat rooms that glorify the use of drugs and where sellers go to encourage our children to try them".
 
I think it's important to remember that there's a lot that we can do beyond the website. Go to events, and tell people about harm reduction. Tell them about our website. Get all activist.

Especially in the rave scene, there is still a huge amount of hearsay and nonsense being spread around and it is costing people (who are simply looking for a good time, and for some, to belong to something for just one night, like I was when I first went to a rave years and years ago) their health and their lives.

Revolution by information, folks. %)
 
I remember Ryan/Quicksilver well. We had some interesting chats and his death by overdose was quite a shock at the time. I just hope his spirit is happy wherever it may be:|
 
What a shame, the kid didn't have to die... R.I.P And R.I.P to all my fallen friends and peers from drugs.. I've lost about 6 now, I'm only 22. :(

As much as we all think we know what we are doing when we intoxicate ourselves, we read pages and pages of text in eager excitement of equipping us with enough knowledge we feel necessary to give us the confidence and security to take our substances of choice. we all know (or should) the dangers and the unpredictability of it all.

Ryan was long before my time, but it sound as though he, like the rest of us, thought he knew what he was doing. And reading his story doesn't seem to me like it is necessary to brandish him a kid that didn't, Rather just one of those whom fell upon tragic bad luck.


Death can not kill what never dies

RIP Ryan and lets forever keep your memory alive.
