Hello all,
I wanted to take a few minutes to introduce myself to the Bluelight community and why I'm here. Like many others, I had several great experiences with psychedellics (marijuana, mushrooms, LSD) in college. However, my recreational usage got out of control and I found myself turning to, and abusing, benzodiazepines, cocaine, and alcohol over a period of several months. A couple of weeks in the hospital helped clear my mind and put an end to this self-destructive cycle through which I was able to understand myself better.
*Disclaimer: I'm simply sharing my experiences with these drugs. This is not intended to look down on anyone or refute the potential reasons one may have for using these drugs, however, I think my personal struggles with addiction provide the context from which I have to speak.
I still drink alcohol on the weekends with friends, however, I am able to control my intake. I also smoke marijuana on special occassions, however, I don't particularly enjoy it due to a growing amount of obligations at work and at home. My capacity for moderation, despite my history of drug abuse, is part of the reason for my interest in nootropics and neuroscience.
I look forward to posting and seeing what everyone has to say!
