also sorry doppelganger, nothing i said was meant as a slight or anything, and i'm all for harm reduction, which is also the reason bluelight is the only drug community i frequent. that being said, and i've said that in countless posts before: i cannot advise anyone to, say mix 5mg lorazepam with 1mg fentanyl. however, i enjoy drugs most when i find exactly the right ones to mix in the right amount, and ive never advocated anyone to do the same. but i enjoy polytoxic drug intake vastly over any signle drug i can think of, even the best opiates would be sweeter mixed with good coke. but i do not charge into dingy shitholes, smoking, shooting sniffing and fucking everything that vaguely looked like fun, before trying a new substance i spend hours and hours in front of the computer, figuring out how best to take it, how much, in which setting, if it'd best bring some backup along (benzos, naloxone god knows what, maybe an armed escort).

i absolutely get what you're saying, a lot of polydrug users are either too dumb to live or have no idea how dangerous the substances they so freely take can be
 
Testy? Old? Watch your language boy ;)

On a serious note....

The only reason you've been given shit is that this topic is covered extensively in the HR focus forums, not in one megathread, but that's because usually poly-drug abuse addicts create their own thread where we warn them of the inherent dangers.

If you see this kind of poly-drug abuse ALL over bluelight, you should do them the courtesy of giving them a personalized "safer" way to take the medications THEY are taking, as it is determined on a patient per patient, case by case basis. No one has the same tolerance, two people who are opiate naive will require different dosages to achieve what they want.

See what I'm saying? It's not like the staff thinks that it's bad to spread information about poly-drug abuse, just that it's better done personalized to the OP.
 
^ Actually you're one mod that's in my good books ; )

Ah,kk i see what u mean, i just believe their should be a "sticky" thread (in o.d) on the most dangerous combos & how to stay safe if a person decides to take 'em anyway. Yeah i of course know everbody is a different body, even so i strongly feel we must make it common knowledge which combos can result in polydrug fatalitys in a specified thread instead of just going from thread to thread warning people saying stuff like "watch it dude" 'cos noramally when sombody starts a thread going on about oxy & methadone & temazepam et cetera they are already dead set on doing it.

Furthermore i guess what i'm saying is if there was indeed a sticky thread on which people who do take dangerous combos educate people on how best to use moderation it could save lives.

Well thanks, but the whole OD staff is absolutely awesome, it is our job to go above and beyond and not only submit our own HR advice, to which of course we are held a higher standard, which some people take the wrong way but you should be thankful we don't have like mods who abuse their powers or even worse, a forum with management who gave zero fucks about what goes on like most other drug forums, which don't even focus on Harm Reduction.

I personally am happy if I can save at least one life per day, in addition to helping others reduce drug intake if possible, or at the very least try to show them a safer way to do what they're going to do. In addition to providing our own HR, we must review thousands of posts that contain anti-HR, deadly, reckless, stupid, etc. advice and be sure to correct not just the OP, but the hundreds to thousands of readers we get per day, just in Other Drugs alone. Most don't have accounts, and we will never know if they read something that's not safe and then they die. This is why staff take's our duties very seriously. Most of us have lost loved ones, including, but not limited to to poly-drug abuse.

Did you understand what I meant, about how yes, we are all about warning everyone about the dangers of poly drug abuse, and I have a feeling this thread already exists, I'm too tired to check now. But anyways, if you can actually put together information that helps a WIDE variety of users, which is hard to do when you factor in everyone has a different tolerance and reacts differently do drugs and especially drug combinations. This is why we warn users on a personal basis so we can determine the important factors which will help keep them personally, and we are very clear to warn everyone reading that the suggestions given to the individual OP are highly dependent on his unique reaction to medications and combinations. This is why we ask for their tolerance, how long they've been on whatever drug, at what dose, what dosing frequency, the Route of Administration, a whole bunch of shit like that, case depending.

If you can fix this up into something that can help a lot of people and factors all this in somehow, (which is difficult, hence why we handle it on an individual basis who post their own threads and not in a megathread, traditionally) then it's fine. Just don't keep bumping this hoping the information will magically appear. You started your version of this thread, so it's your responsibility to make it thread-worthy, yadiggg?
As far as making this a sticky, doubtful, even if you made it help a wide variety of people, but it possibly, with the consent of the staff, be added to the directory or something, no promises but you have to put more effort into this.

If you look at OD like the A&E of bluelight it makes more sense to deal with issues like this on a personal case by base basis, rather than a catch all 'beware' thread.

Exactly. I know it might be kinda confusing since in OD we tend to direct people towards megathreads with certain types of questions, but usually the poly-drug abuse threads are best addressed where the OP can find it as fast as possible, since they are at a higher risk of inflicting harm upon themselves or others, and often they don't bother to search, which is fine considering everyone has different tolerances and co-existing conditions like psychological issues, physical limitations, alcoholism is a big one, a whole bunch of factors make it a thread-by-thread solution, but like I said feel free to make this poly drug abuse thread apply to as many people as possible, but it's not going to be stickied, as you'll notice, no other megathreads are stickied.

Also, don't you think it goes against everything this thread means making the post mentioning methadone various benzos, heroin, combinations? This definitely isn't the place to post glorifying poly-drug abuse. Not to mention that if you OD bad, you will not be able to narcan yourself in time.

If the OP actually wants to do the work and pull the effort to write a comprehensive guide that can help a large number of particularly at-risk members, (poly-drug abuse addicts) that's great, he can PM me to discuss re-opening this thread. There's no way that this thread should be open, let alone stickied, when even the OP cannot refrain from glorifying poly-drug abuse and how he survived to tell the tale.

Honestly in this forum, we could give less fucks about how much drugs you've taken or mixed, or any dicksizing of any kind. What we do care about is preventing the thousands of viewers, mostly unregistered guests, who will read your posts and think "That sounds awesome" and overdose and die.

If this thread EVER was supposed to be about specific dosing and how various medications are combined, then there's no way in hell will this stay open. I once thought about the fact that what I take in one day, no, one dose, would be enough to kill my entire immediate family of fully grown healthy human beings. Just because you took some cocktail and lived, does NOT mean that some random unregistered user on this website will live too.

The best harm reduction, for the time being, until I can be convinced otherwise, is to deal with poly-drug abuse on a case by case basis. @OP Please don't try to blame the closure of this thread on staff, who are here as a team to enforce the rules and continue the mission of bluelight, it's the least we can do. This thread is being closed for harm reduction, not because there is anything wrong your OD staff, this is not personal, this is HR.
