In the shadow of such beareavement as we've known lately, and inspired by something I read by SKL, let us remember that we can't just pay lip service to harm reduction. We sometimes don't even follow it, or even purposefully in spite of it! Myself included, for sure! Take a minute and peruse this thread.

I don't even know that these recent deaths were drug-related, but that possibility, maybe likelyhood, really got me thinking...
 
We're all guilty of such crimes... Let's not tell each other how much better we'll all be, but rather make our own personal commitments to fight the good fight.

Stay safe everyone, my love to y'all <3

He was one of the greats, his posts have taught me so much about drug use and I would always stop and regard anything he had to say on a drug.

Wish his friends and family the best<3

Definitely. I've made some pretty bad mistakes around drugs, even knowing the possible bad outcomes, telling others what to do to do it safe. I act like a wise person, but I can be a proper hedonist. I think even the smart folks over at neuroscience and pharmacology might exhibit this behavior.

Either we do it too often, or at insensible doses. Maybe we're not thinking straight and go for a dangerous combination. Maybe you try to calm down someone with a benzo, but accidentally give them DOC. We're all idiots sometimes and, in light of harm reduction, need to realize that. Great post!
 
Yeah, if I am honest, I use drugs really unsafely. Combining downers, combining stimulants and things that shouldn't be combined, rarely weighing powders, etc. Lazy cold water extractions. And I've been involved in this community for over 10 years, and it hasn't really sunk in that I might die from my use. I'm surprised that I haven't, I think it has been something like luck that has protected me. In other words, it simply hasn't caught up with me yet. It shocks me that wise people such as Psood passed away and I haven't. Of course, I don't know if he died from drugs- does anyone know?

I think Bluelight should have a custom title for deceased members, maybe 'Whitelighter' or something. It would be a grim reminder and might be confronting, but I am sure that some deceased members who spent part of their lives helping other users wouldn't mind contiuninuing it post-death. Everyone in society is so scared of death though that I cannot see this happening here yet...
 
Psood... :|

Over the years he and I had various interactions public and private. He was a brilliant mind, a brilliant soul. He had a way with words that I have never seen in anyone else, poetry in prose, vibrantly alive. I'm really shaken by this. How a life can just end, snap, done. You can never communicate again. It could happen to me, or anyone I love. I didn't hear back from my girlfriend last night when I texted her, and then not all day today either. I couldn't get it out of my head, what if she got in a car accident and she's dead? I was anxious about it all day until she got back to me, she'd left her phone at her friend's house.

Fuck... :(
 
I'm speechless even if I didn't know those guys or don't remember much of their posts. C'est la vie, huh? This world and life is such a tragedy, with ups and downs during the trip.


3-MeO-PCP have had amazing influence on my life lately. I hope I'm not going too hard with it. Haven't fucked up, only good things have come my way. I've been having so wonderful time for this whole summer I might say this is the best summer of my life.

I hope anything bad won't happen. There are signs in the air...

This happens to me too with my girlfriend sometimes, I got terrible paranoia passed down from my mother or something. She has the worst anxiety issues I've ever seen... lucky me hah.
 
I think- fuck, thought- of psood as one of the PD crew. One of our own. What a loss. Of the many bluelight deaths, this one has deeply bothered me.

Puts shit in perspective. :\

Yeah Psood. was an exceptional guy in all regards. It's a true shame I'll never be able to meet him until except maybe(hopefully)when flame blows out. He was always funny and kind in PM, which I'll really miss.:(

Experiencing loss always sucks but even though it's hard not to, you can't let it eat you up in many different ways. I hope your feeling a bit better!<3

It would be cooler if you said "Alcohol is a problem" and then I can say "technically alcohol is a solution."
I drink nearly ever day and haven't run in to any problem with it. I don't take shots and only ever take a tiny sip of whiskey or bourbon to see how it tastes. Sticking to beer insures i never get sloppy drunk.

I agree, that's what I do these days, but I still drink too many of them. Hell, for some reason my hangovers have been getting worse as the years go on, and take less alcohol to have. Is this my liver trying to tell me to chill out?
 
Beer is good for maintenance but unfortunately it can be smelled on your breath quite easily in work settings or elsewhere when having a (possibly dangerously, for the serious alcoholic) BAC above a certain threshold; for those purposes I bring a defined amount of vodka and dose about 45 grams of absolute ethanol every two hours. On an off day I just get a couple of forties of Miller High Life and go about my business, because if I sit down with vodka alone, I'll drink a liter over a couple hours (about 8-10× maintenance dose) and then lose a few more, recover with some more vodka, then feel awful or just go on an all out bender.
