Misc Source harm prevention...

[mahatmaganja420]

So, I've been thinking... Why aren't sources allowed in certain instances where matters of harm reduction are of extreme importance? For example, with the crack downs on poppy pod stuffs online, many sites are less than reputable. Not everyone has the luxury of a reliable, standard, supplier. The risk potentials stretch FAR beyond simply the risk of loss of money to scam or fraud. What if, for example, a site is selling something which happens to be coated with some form of glaze which happens to be highly toxic if a human were to happen to consume it? Or perhaps if they were selling a different strain of poppy under the guise of the standard papaver somniferum, which happens to be nearly all thebaine? People could accidently be going into intense seizures or worse. Being able to mention a specific site, source, vendor, person, etc. in these contexts could SAVE LIVES! And I don't see how doing so would be illegal, or even relating to illegal or risky activity, etc etc... ESPECIALLY no more than anything else on the rest of this site... So... I guess I'm asking- What is the exact reasoning for preventing such postings, when such actions could very well lead to the direct harm or death of bluelight members and/or living beings in general? Is that not the very purpose of this site? Does not preventing them nulify the very reasoning for this sites existence, and thusly make the informations NOT deleted/removed/prevented just seem like senseless drug glorification? Can someone people give me some logic for any of this? It'd be much appreciated, thanks.

Sources are allowed in particularly severe mislabeling cases but... those are RC's, generally. It's not easy to tell the diference between ultra-potent psychedelics and less potent ones. It is, however, easy to tell if your pods are glazed or what species they're from.

In the case of poppies it should be fairly apparent if they are glazed or not somniferums - check a botanical reference guide or photos on the 'net first. We don't "name and shame" vendors because a lot of them do carry other quasi-legal substances, and in the end naming them simply acts as an advertisement.

But not allowing for naming of sources prevents any potential for harm reduction, does it not? What if someone has a bad experience after order some poppy pods, and becomes very ill... HOWEVER, they can only be FAIRLY certain it was the fault of the pods - reasonable doubt could remain. Would it not make sense for them to be able to post information in regards to such an event, to warn &/or receive feed back from others? Perhaps they would find themselves in the company of others who had an unfortunate experience with a specific vendor. - Also, I really find it hard to believe that someone would be able to tell if a pod had been chemically treated at some point simply by looking at it. And, I COULD be wrong, but I'm under the assumption there are a LOT of poppy species in existence- many looking quite similar to papaver somniferum. I don't have a whole lot of experience in regards to this area... But a quick search pulls up things like "Papaver Rhoeas" which looks PRETTY similar from what I can tell, and is said to cause headaches. While a head ache may not be much harm... Still... And, while IDEALY vendors would have everything on the up and up, and all clearly labeled & indentified, that's not the world we find ourselves in. And with the government stepping into peoples business more and more, things become ever unclear & risky.

I honestly don't give a fuck.no fucks will be given by me.

If someone chooses to order pods/ rcs/ whatever the fuck from some sketchy vendor, it is not Bluelight's place to pass that information along. It is the users responsibility to know what they are looking for in the product, just as it is when you are buying from a street dealer.
Furthermore, if Bluelight was to verify a source as "safe" or "unsafe" it would open us up to a whole slew of litigation/ raids/ etc...

please note that sourcing is allowed in regards to HR supplies such as sterile water, needles, micron filters, etc...

If you would like to discuss this more, you should probably PM one of the Administrators or Senior Moderators, not me, as I obviously have taken a very hard line on this issue. But I always enjoy fan-mail.
