I hate to say it, but we're drug nerds

its all too true.....

same situations myself. most people often thought i was more of an addict than them because i knew so much, even if they were using more or were out of control. sorry i just like yo know what im doing and what im getting into...
 
It's sorta funny, actually. My first hand experience with drugs is fairly limited, although after spending almost a year on Bluelight, I find that my friends who've used a lot tend to know less about certain aspects of drug use than I do. For instance, a friend of mine who's used almost everything avaliable in our area refuses to touch MDMA, because he believes the myths about getting holes in your brain. I try to enlighten them, but they don't trust my knowledge.

^my friends are the same way. Whenever I tell them the truth they think I'M the dumbass.

I should sit them down and show them Erowid sometime. I've showed some of my friends it, and it's helped them out a lot.
 
^^ yep.. also got some friends like that. Mostly the friends who go into drugs before me who think they know more than me.

Well if they refuse to do certain drugs becuase they believe myths then they're missing out.

Don't be a pharmacist. Talking to 80 year-olds about their blood pressure medication is surprisingly not as enjoyable as giving your buddies advice about the FUN kind of drugs.

What would Dr. Shulgin's job be? Because whatever that is..... I want it!

Yes, I am a drug nerd but it's a good thing. Better I spend my time learning about substances than dying due to being ill-informed about them. And as someone else said, we can keep our friends safe as well as the people who come on here requesting answers. Drugs are fascinating and I love researching/discussing them and who better to do it with then fellow users.... especially the kind folk here at bluelight (I mean it, you guys are great).
 
I never even thought of how much of a drug nerd I am but now that someone pointed it out, damn. I also love knowing a lot about drugs, being able to chirp in on nearly any drug conversation and have lots to add. Unfortunatly for the most part, no matter what you tell a lot of people they still buy all the myths and write you off as a fiend or bullshitter, no matter how much factual knowledge or first-hand experience you have.

I think its very beneficial to know a lot about drugs if you use them. Honestly it scares me by how much some people don't know, like when I see people do shit like take oxy and start chuggin hard A. By knowing more about drugs you get more out of the experience and can avoid some of the negative impacts. Werd to drug nerds.

far, far, far from the truth my friend. the last thing you want to do with drugs is disrespect them.
 
^ I suppose I should've reworded that since I know a million other people are going to be jumping on that bandwagon.

at least we won't die from misinformation :)
 
Drug nerd and proud

I like how people come to me with questions, especially when they are about safe dosing and harm reduction. I can't help but think I've helped at least some people make more rational decisions with there use.
 
my bluelight gift to my friends has to be 5-HTP. Combo knowledge aside, what safe drug and dose to use to counteract the negative aspects of drug use is crucial
 
You know, being what society deems a "geek" should not necessarily be considered a derogatory term. It simply means we are above-knowledgable on the subject. In a world so completely infested with corruption, drugs, overdoses, pharmaceuticals, prescriptions, recreational drug use, research chemicals, and the health hazards of long-time legal drugs, I'd say that being a "drug nerd" is a very useful tool in life.

I'm quite proud of the amount of knowledge that I have acquired through my time spent on Marijuana.com (back when it was halfway decent....:( ) and of course my all-time favorite, Bluelight.nu, as well as www.thegooddrugsguide.com, rxlist.com, drugs.com, marihemp.com, operation overgrow, and last but certainly not least, Erowid.org.

I've prevented many an overdose, many a deadly combination at parties, many a night of relentless vomitting; unlike being a Star Trek nerd, what we are obsessed with is actually applicable to our lives in a universal sense. To be able to discern pure Opium sap from Dragon's Blood Incense has helped me on several occasions.

I'd rather be a connisseur (apologies for the spelling, I am a bit drunk) than a bumbling idiot when it comes to issues that could, potentially, determine whether or not I survive the night. I have no regrets.
 
i would punch the guy who calls me nerd.

but if he called me 'druggy nerd', i will share my stash with him anytime. :)
 
I notice a lot of people here say that their friends relyon them for drug-related safety and such.... is this common to most BlueLighters? I get this all the time.... what milligram a pill is, what the imprint means, what manufacturer makes the item, the error margin for generic pills, whether it is safe to mix drug X or dug Y, whether or not long term use of drug X will cause symptom Y, what is happening with regards to neurotransmitters, pre- and post-synaptic nerve cell response, etc. when one takes a hit or a shot off of a drug...
I was voted future pharmacologist and herbal healer ;) in my year book.......

....not to mention best smile ! :D
 
Nerd = someone with lots of knowledge about some subject.. and usually lacking some basic skills in other areas.

Yep, that's me.
