Hi everybody, I've been reading for awhile and the other day I made my first posts. Figured why be shy and introduce myself to the group. I love experimenting with different altered states for about 30 years. I do not drink, as I do not like the feeling that much. I'm an occasional smoker, and I definitely support legalization for both medical and recreational purposes because I have some friends who are heavy smokers and they have full, productive lives. Plus I read research when I can and it seems there is pretty solid evidence in its efficacy in certain medical treatments. I love opiates right now, but struggling with using and recovery like most people who use them. I don't do them every day, but I am habituated to kratom, which I do not consider a "real" opiate. 8( I'll be seeking support for that in the near future! I 'm a recoverED meth addict, and happy to have escaped the birth of crystal - probably would be the death of me. When I did it the main ingrediant was P2P for those of you who know, and the making and distributing was cornered by the biker group The Pagans. I remember cutting lines on a plate that left holes in it! What really brought me to Bluelight? I can't exactly remember, but I think it was in a search engine while I was reading about MDNA as treatment for PTSD in veterans. Of all the mind altering substances, I believe the hallucinogens have such potential to change people's lives While I quit like 25 years ago and have not experienced the new empathic ones, I continue to believe in their ability to open minds, given proper supervision, set and setting. I tripped hundreds of times, and only the last one was REALLY bad. I have seen some posts of people trying to recover from bad trips, and should a current one emerge I hope to be able to offer assistance and support. I consider them to be some type of spiritual emergency. I have also had many spirurtual/existential crises since then as now my main DOC is yoga, meditation, and mantra. Yes, I have a habit, but I try my best to stay connected. I have attended AA and NA for some long periods of time and remained abstinent from all drugs. Currently I am researching alternatives for staying clean. BL seems like the best support community I've come across, and I have seriously LOL reading many of the forums. Yes, I'm long winded, but happy to be here!

I'm glad you got off of meth, that stuff can really mess you up. I mean everyone has their vice, but some are certainly more dangerous than others.Thanks, it was really hard. I was a kid when I got on it, like 14 and I was alone in that no one else my age did as much as me every day. I spent adolescence and some of my early adulthood wanting to die. I have gotten down since then, but not like that.
