^^ You argue that Bluelight toes the line. Yeah right, it gets crossed in any number of threads/forums. Prices get mentioned in the US/Europe threads all the time.
Sure sources are forbidden but it could be easily argued that the social community Blue Light has created, indirectly, and caused the connecting of people, sources and buyers, producers and distributors, users and dealers.
I think it’s this “drugs are bad but we're here to stop the kids from dying” philosophy which is flawed, and is almost hypocritical. There are few, if any, members of BL who do not use. Whilst using drugs yet giving the appearance that we are not condoning drug use, though condoning safe drug use, only shows those whom are unconvinced by our argument how contradictory we are. It laddens us with a image that continues to perpetuate the liar, cheat and addict profile that is so often used to characterise drug users.
The problem with the legislation movement is that we're a bunch of wimps.
Christians went to the death for their belief. This not only legitimized their belief and practices but changed the world forever.
On the other hand we cower and hide, we're everywhere from the highest offices of the land to the beggar in the street yet we deny our beliefs and practices, to ourselves (when we’re addicted) and to others (our loved ones) for fear of retribution.
What we need to do is what the gays and homosexuals did. (Well in Australia anyway).
Get up and proclaim to the world what we do and to show them the pain and agony their interdiction and laws cause on us. Block streets and show that we’re not a bunch of deviants (as how they were portrayed), addicts and losers. For their bravery against possible retribution from the law, employers, and their families they won the right to practice their way of life.
Until then we'll be demonised and attacked, and quite rightly because for the simply fact we don't stand up for ourselves.
With most of the drug debates I’ve seen the most passionate and logical of speakers tend to deny taking drugs or claim that they are only fighting to stop people from dying.
That is not what should be about. A consequence of legalising drugs will be the improvement in quality and education, resulting in less harm and death – but that can’t the primary reason for drug legalisation. The real point of drug legalisation is the intrinsic right that every human being has to alter their state of consciousness. Until we stop hiding behind bullshit arguments we’ll never reach our goal of legalisation.
