Validation?

Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't try and jump into BL. A huge chunk of what I read here comes from people addicted to something harder than my smoking habit, or folks in the "take as much as I can at once and get totally fucked!!1" stage.

Then I look back at what I've done:
Cigarettes
Alcohol
Valium
Quaaludes
Black Beauties
Marijuana/Hash
Mushrooms
LSD
Coke
Crank
Meth
MDMA

I managed to get off amphetamines, and never really cared for hallucinations, so smoking and MDMA is it now.

 

Keep in mind, its unimportant what drugs we are inclined to use/abuse. Its more along the lines why we use/abuse.

 

Every "why" would be fairly unique. You could generalize: Thrills, escape, depression, peer pressure, etc., but the Devil is in the details.

 

Exactly. A smoking habit can be just as harmful to someone as any other drug. It just seemed like you were discounting or discrediting your habit because it isn't considered a 'hard' drug

If your on BL, chances are you are 'family' and its nice to meet another whose experiences are similar regardless of the medium that brought those experiences to fruition.
