BL - Harm reduction or triggering drug use?

[Carl_Sagan]

I would say that most drug forums do more harm than good. Bluelight distinguishes itself from the others because there is a sense of accountability that is defined by the mission statement and enforced by the moderators and veterans. For every one person spouting out foolish advice there are ten to correct him. Nevertheless, there are definitely some harmful aspects of this website. Drug Culture is probably the area were I do the most browsing and despite enjoying the light-hearted discussion that takes place in threads such as "how high are you", I must admit that threads of this nature can be VERY triggering. I have definitely reconsidered drugs that I had previously removed from my life simply because I saw 4 or 5 people basking in its glory and raving about it on the same page. There have been psychological studies which strongly suggest that simple exposure to others who model bad behavior makes that behavior seem more acceptable and "normal" in the subject's eyes.

I doubt that it is possible, however, to avoid these negatives without bluelight losing its diversity and turning into a site like this: www.soberrecovery.com/forums

Personally, both. I would have probably used these new drugs anyway but only with the safety taught by my dealer/friends. Bluelight makes my drug use safer as I know far more about it and so I can teach my friends the same. However, I wouldn't have ever considered buying RCs or any drug off the internet before BL.

Im glad this site is around because it has helped me understand about certain pharm drugs out there that I wouldnt have known about. Like Fentanyl.......everything I read on here kept me away from ever using it. Kind of scared me straight from using it.

I never knew how much people loved benzos until I got to this site.......I have tried Valium & Xanax before joining this site & never liked neither much but that was 10 years ago. This site helps you understand other options you can take as far as pain meds go & you can discuss them with your doctor. Some doctors out there are plain retarded & dont know much or pretend they dont know much when it comes to certain meds.

This site is great for those that need some comfort/help in quitting certain habits...........there are several threads that have a t lot of other topics as well.........remember one thing, "education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another" G.K. Chesterson..............we must teach the others that follow & we can also learn from our own mistakes.

There is invaluable information on this site...........
