Better off because of Bluelight?

I was just wondering how many of you are the only person in your cirlce of friends and acquiantances of drug users that use Bluelight, and, if so, do you feel better than the rest of them because of the outlet and the information that you can get form here?
I know that I know alot more about lots of different points of view, and a lot more of the serious issues relating to addiction and all other areas of life because of Bluelight members and all of the various subforums.
I'd just like you people to talk a little bit about your experience with bluelight as it relates to your real world life and if you feel better off(better informed, etc.) than your friends who also use drugs.

I'm not sure where this thread belongs, but this seems like a good place for it.
 
Hmm, this is interesting actually. I've tried to introduce several friends to BL, and they all insist they know more than 'some druggies on an internet forum.' A few people have actually become members, and I was introduced to BL by a friend I know irl. I do feel better off in some ways because I know a lot about drugs I don't even use --- if a random situation arises somehow I feel as if I'll know what to do better than other people will. Some people are surprised with how much I know, others get suspicious because of it. I don't think they realize that I enjoy researching and reading this stuff.

It's too bad we can't all get more friends to join BL, I know personally many of mine make stupid bad life decisions regularly.
 
im the only one of my group of friends that uses bluelight. they weren't really interested in it when i explained that i really like reading and learning about drugs, they don't care that im on it...just not for them i guess.
 
Yes and no. Bluelight is definitely an incredible thing, and I think it should be around, but there are things that it changes in my mind. I would have thought injecting heroin was the worst thing on the planet, until I came here. That influenced my choice to start IV'ing and such, so maybe it would have been better to have thought the wrong information who knows...

On the other side it has taught me a lot about incredible drugs (psychedelics), and introduced me to someone that I care very much about. I met her through bluelight, and I am thankful for that because otherwise I doubt our paths would have ever crossed.
 
Ahh... I can see that being surrounded by alot of triggers on the internet could lead to a faster progression of your addiction.
I've definitely craved OC or something just from reading people talk about it.
The one part about bluelight I don't really like so much is how sometimes I feel like people get really really high just to brag about how many substances they are on. Like candyflipping has such a benign name for such a powerful combination of drugs I think talking about it like it's just a normal thing isn't giving the experience justice, and taking it too lightly. I feel like sometimes in the trip reports and some other sections there is a sort of silent encouragement in certain threads for people to try to get as fucked up as possible and then show off about their experience, but that's definitely not the case in probably the majority of the threads.

If anything Bluelight has made me more resolute in my decision to quit opiates, so it definitely goes both ways. Reading The Dark Side has opened my eyes up to people with problems far more severe than my own and tolerances far greater than my own that I KNOW I don't want to continue down opiate-road any more. Also seeing other threads made by people who quit, and reading the cool things they have to say about life on the other side of addiction is really inspiring and motivating.

That's really cool that you found your significant other here on bluelight!
I still have yet to do that. No one cool lives in Rochester or anywhere near me :( (actually I did PM a person from rochester NY but I forget who that was and that was a long time ago)

The other cool thing I like about it is that all the subforums cover all different areas of life and intelligent conversation that a person can have, Whether you want to talk about sports, politics, philosophy and religion, relationships, shitty life problems, or just completely goof around and talk non-sense, it has it all. Bluelight is like a perfectly well balanced individual.
I not only feel more well informed about drugs, but also about many other things as well.

Bluelights served me well over the past 2 and a 1/2 years. Pretty much everything i've wanted to know i've learnt here. Took me from a foolish 16 year old up to a still foolish but knows too much about drugs 19 year old.

But yeah anything new i've been trying dosage/effects/trip reports/general questions have been all found on BL and helped me make some wise choices. (I Had a friend who believed he needed a full 4 gram of mushrooms because he was a bit bigger, didn't end well.)

I've shown one friend bl, I think he lurks around here occasionally but doesn't post.

Exactly my opinion, I got flamed for saying the same thing in another thread in regards to Erowid and Bluelight. Both can be a to do list for teens as far as drugs are concerned. I know it ws for me.
 
This is my home like Lenin dude says.
3 monts after i started this and bunch of other sites i stopped self medicating(cause is stupedest thing) and go to rehab.I am clean 6monts now.

I feel like a am above those stupid junkies(i was one of them).
Knoledge is power.I learned about my enemy and i defeet him(atleast 6months)and i hope it stays this way.

Now my enemies are depresion,paranoia and similar shit.I am learning on them now and i hope i will beat them too.

Have a happy day BLUELIGHTERS you guys eased my life,love`ya all.

I tried to introduce a couple of my friends to bluelight, but unfortunately one didn't like it for some reason and the other was put off by some people being dicks to her on here.
I, therefore, am the only person in my group who uses it and I enjoy being the one who 'knows her stuff'. I have learnt so much during my time here and am still learning. Bluelight answered the fundamental questions and exorcised the fundamental myths about drugs for me. Now I know that you don't get smack in pills :D

And of course, it provides suitable drug related entertainment for me when it is difficult to attain the actual drugs, not to mention leading me to some awesome music and lovely people.
 
i prefer scientific sources like pubmed or medical journals, bl is good for mostly first hand experiences imo
 
I met my partner here on Bluelight. Apart from her, I don't know any drug users in real life who also use Bluelight.

Bluelight has definitely been helpful for me. It's a great source of information, advice, and support.
 
The reason why I am a mod is to give back to a community who has been one of the most helpful places I have ever frequented. :)

BL has killed some misconceptions and stereotypes, allowed me to "chat" with people from other countries, consoled me when I was at my low point and no one understood and helped me understand drug use and addiction.

I also love the Lounge even if some people think it's BL's cancer. LOL The Lounge meme thread is my favorite.
 
Bbuelight has taught me a lot about harm reduction, and how to use drugs safely. at the same time, I wouldn't have ever learned about a lot of the substances I've been involved in (like RCs & poppies) or how to use (IVing, ect.). also, the general attitude of the forum, and the ubiquitousness of addiction, has made some of my most reckless behavior seem more acceptable and easier to rationalize. but that's just me.
 
yes i am because i am much more responsible about my health instead of ahhh lets go get fucked up attitude...
and ive learned to stay away from heroin, opiates, and meth no matter how curious, because the high isnt worth all the time you'll spend fixing yourself to live w/o using. ty dark side haha
