Thank You Bluelight.
Thank you, this community as a whole has prevented a lot of dumb decisions. I realize my account only has a few months on it, but I've been reading these forums for a few years now and having the benefit of hindsight I have to say that if this site didn't exist, I'd have visited the hospital more times than I would have been inclined to. The amount of general information, personal experience, and concern that this community displays, whether it's the new poster or the mods, have almost definitively succeeded in the goal of Harm Reduction. At least in my life they have.
I can count 12 seperate occasions that before me and my friends did something stupid, one of us said, "We should probably check bluelight and see if someones done this before so we know what we're getting into." A perfect example was my first acid trip. Prior to it I'd done shrooms, molly, and a few non psychs. Prior to the trip I was very gung ho and was planning on taking 3 tabs. From the respect for quality LSD that I found on this site it seemed wiser for me and my friends to settle for 1 and 1/2. At the end of the trip we all agreed that 3 would have been to much for the first time and the amount we had taken was perfect.
My ramble aside I have to say, Thank You to those of you who run the website and allow it to be a valuable resource to the Drug Subculture. As for the community, thank you for just being awesome.
