Greetings, fellow users and perusers!

I'm TheEuphoric, a 28 year old male living by the beautiful beaches in the Tidewater region of Virginia. I've long chronicled my experiences with substances in other venues, so I'm excited to explore the writings and forums found here. I used to get paid to drive up and down the East Coast, visiting microbreweries and reviewing their beers. In short, I literally got paid to travel and drink delicious craft brews. It was amazing and afforded me the opportunity to investigate other substances found around America. I previously used drugs for the cliched "escaping reality", but with over the years, I've reached the opinion that reality is a wonderful, fascinating thing, and using substances to alter it enables us to better explore and understand its multifarious facets.

I later settled down and taught Middle and High School English for a few years before my objections to and dissatisfaction with the administration overshadowed the joy of my job. After leaving the profession, I got wrapped up in some illicit activities that resulted in a two-and-a-half year stint behind bars. As a result of that experience and in the interest of continuing my psychoactive explorations, I have joined this site to learn about legal alternatives to my old mainstays. I still indulge in opiates, cocaine, and amphetamines every so often, but with the smorgasbord of herbs and powders I've recently discovered online, such indulgences will likely diminish if these new substances prove effective.

Hallucinogenics frequently freak me the fuck out, so I stay well away from them. I'm all about body highs, mental euphoria, sedation, and stimulation. With the right people during a stress-free week, I may nosh on some shrooms, but that's the extent of it. One substance I've yet to try is pure MDMA. I experimented with Ecstasy back in the day, but those were the days of adulterated pills as opposed to the increased purity I've heard of with the Molly crazy these days. I'm curious to know how much of a "trip" it really is because that information will decide whether or not I try it.

Substances aside, I'm currently a bartender and a writer. The writing is mostly soulless corporate and commercial stuff right now, but it pays the bills and enables me to do writing I really enjoy in my off time. I lift weights a lot and exercise with my girlfriend, who also enjoys exploring psychoactive experiences with me. I read a lot, play the occasional video game (currently indulging a fit of nostalgia with an original PS1 and a copy of Final Fantasy 7), and piddle around in the basement where I store the vehicles and gadgetry necessary for my secret career as a world-saving superhero.

Anyway, that's me in a long-winded nutshell. The girlfriend will be out of town this weekend, so I plan on poking around the site to familiarize myself with it while she's gone. I'm interested in seeing the sections so I know where my posts should go, who are staff members and how I identify them, all the forum basics like that. I look forward to getting to know you all and benefiting from your experiences and sharing my own!

Quick question:

Is profanity allowed? I have no intention of rampant repeated cursing, but a well-placed expletive can add emphasis and vehemence when needed.
 
Hi there, welcome to Bluelight :)


Good introduction post!

Profanity is allowed but abuse isn't, I'm sure you can understand the line between the two. In future I wouldn't add any more drugs forum links to anything just because most people on here don't like clicking on their links for personal/security reasons. Most people just hate that site in general tbh. There's a good chance most of the information found on DF can be found here, but you can actually understand the conversation because their sister's cousin's auntie's llama isn't worrying about the drug test next weekend on here... We also don't do SWIM or anything else. :)

If you got any more questions don't be afraid to send me a message.
 
I apologize for those links lingering there; I had typed up this introduction in the Drugs Forum sandbox because I joined both sites on the same day; however, the community here seems a lot more involved, friendly, and responsive, so I suspect I will hang my hat here.
 
Hiya TheEuthoric. Welcome to Bluelight. It is a lovely, friendly site, very informative n supportive.

Hope you find what you need here.

There's an "adoption" programme here where current members volunteer to help new members settle into the site. If you're interested, the Adoption thread is one of the stickies at the top of New Members Intros.

Anyway, thank you all for the warm welcome. Also, thank you for the prompt response to my question regarding profanity. I shall use it sparingly.

I am well acquainted with forums of this sort (vBulletin, SMF2, XHTML, et al.), having previously managed my own, albeit on a much smaller scale.

angeleyes- Around how many registered users are active here on a daily basis? How many staff does your site utilize, and are the responsible mostly just for discipline and direction, or do you all do actual coding and development as well?

Thanks, Vibe. I checked out the adoption concept, and I may utilize it instead of constantly asking questions here.

Speaking of questions, why is it that I cannot post in the thread entitled "How did you find this site? thread for greenlighters" despite the fact that I am a Greenlighter and have observed other Greenlighters posting in there?
 
Yes Virginia has it's beautiful times. We are coming up on my favorite time, fall. Shenandoah National Park in October is simply stunning.
