Well, I know the owner of this website is simply covering his/her own ass in terms of liability, and/or following the "advice" of a law enforcement officer or two, but not being able to discuss what is good or bad when it comes to BAD drugs(or the drugs the media uses to scare ignornat stay at home moms) is a borderline double standard and lowers the quality of discussion on this site. I'm not sure comparing A or B crosses any line, and I do believe any and all information regarding a certain chemical can be classified as harm reduction when used correctly. Don't get me wrong, it's not a big deal, and I'm simply venting a bit, but I hate censorship, especially when it comes to things that really have no place being censored. But, it's your ball, and you can pick and choose to play with it however you please. I just hope it's not LEO or lawyers dictating what can and can't be discussed on this wonderful site, but I'm not holding my breath. Again, sorry for venting, I just get a little depressed when things that I love lose some luster, so to say.
Nevertheless, I loved reading THE bluelight, and I wish the owners of the site and all of the members nothing but the best in life. I should have taken the advice of many on here, and now, because I didn't listen to the moderators/the many intelligent voices who discouraged scoring H on the streets of Chicago, I'm going to pay the price. Heroin is a wonderful drug when used in moderation, but don't kid yourself, you will not be able to use it in moderation, and you will be driven to the streets or other sketchy places to score. In the end, it's a zero-sum game, and big brother or the poison itself will win. Off to pay my debts to the man...best of luck to all of you.
Hey Chicago Bluelighters, or mods for that matter;
Would it be in the best interest of HR to atleast do the same thing that was done to the stamp thread?
Meaning have a sticky post that contains info on current "dangerous bags" and their description here in N&SDD.
This way people from Chicago can send a PM to the mods telling them the description of the dangerous bags that would then be added to the sticky post.
It only seems fair, since the stamp thread was turned into a sticky of dangerous stamps sent to mods to post in the sticky...
What makes Chicago dope unable to be placed in the dangerous bags thread? It's not like NY/NJ is the only place in North America that has dangerous bags. I don't remember Chicago users being banned from using PMs either.
this thread has died. i miss the old bluelight.
This site probably got a call from the DEA/some hot-shot telling them to cool the H talk, and the big dogs behind the scenes are probably doing exactly what a good lawyer would tell them to do.
there must have been some ridiculous shenanegans going on behind the scenes if BL administrators felt the bad outweighed to good
heads up to people in chicago... that http://chicago.everyblock.com/crime website has shown the police are busting about 15 people at a different spot about two times a month or so. Search primary type = narcotics, and secondary type =narcotics: attempted posession of narcotics, and you will see where they've been hitting. Unfortunately there's about a two week delay on the information. Scary thing is, the most recent sting they show is one of the number of spots where i used to go to pretty often throughout the winter, where they sell the "BEST" bags sealed in clear packing tape, with the strip of green tissue paper. Its funny because i rolled by the spot last week and there were a bunch of kids playing outside near where they hung out. Even as a user, that a good thing to see, ya know. I was on methadone last summer, so the only times i've used have been the past couple winters. So whenever i've hit the blocks, there're no kids out bc its freezing cold (i never go during the hours kids are walking to or from school, doesnt feel right). So its weird to go out in the summer and see kids playing twenty feet from guys dealing drugs.
But it seems like they're doing operations in that area now. At my other spot last week, i heard someone talk about how they heard the police where doing a "thing" on such and such street we were on. One guy i go to has been really sketched out the past few weeks, saying the heat is on. Theres a lot nearby some big grocery store where you can see all the undercover cars parked, must be the meet up/ home base type spot. Anyways, be careful out there. I mean shit, it would be pretty obvious if you went by your usual spot and someone you'd never seen asks if you want to buy some "smack". Just say no to "smack" kids!
edit - from the stats, they've been doing these operations every 9-15 days, and its been 14 days since the last (reported) one, so if you're in a situation where something seems off, it probably is.
