Hi my name is AchillesLastStand and I'm an addi...
Fuck that shit.
AchillesLastStand is my name here. I love drugs.
Not just getting high, I'm fascinated by the whole deal. The biochemistry, some called it pharmacology. The creation of the them, from planting and cultivating a seed in the ground and just using a plant to getting up in the lab with a pen and a pad and creating experiment and turning that experiment into a synthesis for the whole world to use.
It's beyond words how these little tiny compounds, who are inherently neutral, they are just molecules, can have such a grip on the whole planet to the point that we as people have given them such power.
Drugs now are control, power, money.
Some are hearlded as life saving wonders of nature and science. Others are the scurge of the earth. Who decides which are which? How did the psychoactive industrial complex gain such a foothold that dispite the clear evidence that the control system for drugs creates so much suffering for some and so much filthy riches and power for others, in a completely unbalanced and terrible harmful way.
Lord knows this system has caused me a lot of trouble and pain.
But I still take them and love them. And wish in my heart of hearts that my choice to do so didn't come with so much heavy baggage. The equation doesn't balance.
Addiction is a set of behaviors which has arisen from the prohibition and subsequent insanely high prices leading to high costs of drugs for the majority of those who want to take them. Lying, hiding, and creating mistrust in relationships is part of the behavior of addiction. Stealing and working in the black market; getting dirty product and the health implications of the ingestion of contaminated product. These are just a few of the behaviors arisen from the addiction.
most of us would say that addiction isn't our physical, mental and emotional need and relationship for the chemicals. That's another thing.
The prohibition on drugs which "have no medical value", the control on the ones deemed safe and medically useful has turned a more benign dependency into a high cost to the individual, society, and culture into a inferno of addiction.
And I still like to get high. I still am fascinated by drugs and how they work and how they have caved out such a huge role in our world.
I'm grateful to bluelight for being the community I can turn to for entertainment, advice, and knowledge about all things drugs.
 
Welcome to Bluelight! Yes, I agree - the Drug War is a total failure. Good to have you with us. Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions. :)
 
Wow! I completely agree with everything you said! Im actually required, by my PO, to attend these addiction groups weekly, as a direct result of the so called war on drugs, and have tried to explain some of the things you've described. Like who decides which drugs are "good" or "bad" and why prohibition is a total flop! Sometimes I get sideways looks but once I'm able to explain myself for example, heroin maintenance, people in class seem to open their minds. Anyway, I love drugs too, lol I just hate the ignorant ideas that some people seem to have about them. Have you read the book "Chasing the Scream"? It is absolutely amazing- I highly recommend it (if that counts for anything lol).

I'm new here and I just wanted to say what's up?!

I also wanted to add that in my new member introduction I explain my fascination with drugs and their effects on the mind and body. I love to hear about others experiences. I think drugs are amazing, wonderful things and should be seen as such; no dirty, detrimental substances.
