there was a huge influx of heroin users, as has already been mentioned, a couple of years ago at the time of the drought. The place went through a lot of in-fighting as many non-bagheads were unable to come to terms with having bag-heads on the same forum. My attitude then, and since then, has been FUCK YOU if you have a problem with other people's drugs. We are here as a drugs HR forum, maybe we grew out of the MDMA scene but things don't stand still and I think people who use "harder" drugs are even more entitled to belong to and post on an HR forum than doobie tokers and weekend pill munchers.
Yes things have got "darker" but I don't think that's the fault of heroin users, the whole world is a bit of a darker place post 2008 crisis than it was in those Blair boom years when we all had a bit of extra cash in our pocket. The world moves on. If we don't move with it, then we'll end up being sidelined and becoming irrelevant.
I'll leave it there. :D
