Hello from and old lurker but new user

[Zaka99]

Hey folks,

I have lurked on this site for a number of years and thought it time to actually join so here I am.

I have used a wide variety of drugs for about 20 years or so. I have had good times and dark times on them. I was in recovery and abstinent for about 5 years of those 20. I am now a moderate user I guess. I used to be an 'upper' sort of drug user and sprout forth the benefits of ecstasy, MDMA, cocaine, crack cocaine, speed etc. I then went through a phase of using psychedelics such as acid, mushrooms, DMT and so on and then fell into a pretty dark heroin\crack cocaine addiction for a few years. That culminated in me stopping altogether which lasted quite some time but I went back to using as, to be honest I felt I was 'missing out' and my social circle had become very small and my world rather insular. Using helped build some new and lasting friendships and bring me back out of my shell but I am quite aware of the dark side of drugs and have scars to prove this. Anyway I look forward to reading and contributing on here much more than before and hope I can add some experience to this great site.

Regards, Zaka

Great to have ya here! My name's Brad, lovely to (cyber) meet you, and I hope you have a great time here! I defiantly connect with your point about drugs being great, but also possessive of a much darker and extremely powerful side that all too many people seem to ignore, forget, or are ignorant of. Drugs can be wonderful, illuminating roads to massive strides in medicine, philosophy, social problems, economic problems, etc., but drugs can also at the same time be absolute nightmares, tearing apart lives, destroying communities, and perverting the human mind and body. There's gotta be a balance, and we've got to take it upon ourselves as a community not only to learn for ourselves as individuals the effects and implications of drug use, but also to educate others of the same. Bluelight is absolutely amazing site where that exact need is tended to, and gloriously so, imo haha probably saved me from a ridiculous overdose or two when I was in a ridiculous place in life and was doing whatever I could to get high lol

Anyway, again, glad to see ya here! If you ever need a friend, someone to rant or rave to, or someone to talk about absolutely anything with (with more specificity than the larger Bluelight community as whole), my inbox is always open, and I'd love to lend whatever helping hand I can, whether it be as a friend to listen, a thinker to debate, or just another human to vibe with

See ya around the forums!
