^^ I think the real issue here is the fact that this happened in the first place. Quality control went out the fuckin' window in this country. It's entirely changed to quantity control...

Well I went to the other city and went to the mall... they did NOT have them in my size. However, they are going to get them shipped to the store free of charge from a different store that apparently has them in my size. They will be here Thursday at the latest. The funny thing about what you said case, is that the girl at the register was like "Oh man, you must just got a defective pair, because I have these and I never had any problems with them, and I am pretty rough about putting them on, trying to get them up so high!"

But anyway, crisis averted.. the new boots are on their way.

I worked 7,12s straight built 21,000ft of fiber,and strand i made a fucking hundred dollar check.

You will also need to promote a strong blue spectrum in the morning.. I know the lights seem expensive but maybe try ebay.. im not even playing.. it has worked wonders for me.. I think a circadian rhythm issues i have was a major root to my addiction.. I always wanted to take something to sleep well at the right time.. but in realty the use of benzos allowed me to sleep longer and at the right time.. But I woke up feeling sedated..

Also I belive dopamine is the real determinant on sleep.. so buy altering the other neurochemicals you may seem to address the problem but it may lead to no satisfactory solution.

So if you are going to look for medication I would look for a stimulant in the morning and the light therapy and shades as well as promoting the best sleep hygiene you can.

Any suggestions for a non prescription stimulant I could experiment with in the mornings? Something stimulating but not something heavily dopaminergic or whatever that will be super euphoric. Does ephedrine have any real value? or something similar? Besides caffeine, obviously.

I will definitely look into the lights too, thanks! I think maybe I need to start spending more time outside - if light plays this big of a role then I'm probably spending too much time inside. Otherwise I will try to get my sleep hygiene better because it has slacked lately - I have tried hard in the past with it without much success, but maybe nothing on the list I made has worked on its own but would work when combined with a few other items on the list. I just need to find the right combination.
 
The system is so beyond broken. I don't know if you guys checked out that article I posted in Drugs In The Media.. but it's about a 26 year old H addict who just got sentenced to 40 years in prison for selling small quantities of H to support his habit.

It just makes me sick that this is what our criminal justice system in the US has been reduced to.

I think pseudoephedrine would be something you could try. just set them out beside your alarm at night and may throw a monster or something right there as well. When the alarm goes off you can take take them and drink some of the monster and go back to bed for a couple of snoozes until the stimulant starts to work. But the real key to feeling good when you are awake is to get the light and fool your brain to think is afternoon in the morning.

@evey you dont ware the sunglasses to bed you just ware them around after seven at night in order to limit the amount of blue light that gets through thus making your brain think its a night time. Once we are asleep in a dark room then there is noo need to ware them.. Also darkening lights in the evening is another thing to do.

That's over board. He's an addict he needs help. I just realised I made a judgement I shouldn't have made on that other thread. That person may have also been an addict too n I should have jumped to conclusions like that.
When you're an addict you don't think straight if this person had have been in his right mind (not addicted) he'd not have sold the stuff. This doesn't help anyone. Mr.scag could you post link to article so I can read it please?

About doc: went, he gave gell called Movelat for my neck n told me to take aspirin. He thinks it cause i been reading a lot / looking close at phone n computer too n could also be eye strain. But f*** it I'm not going to stop coming on BL because I have to look close at it. I've never stopped eyesight stop me doing anything n I'm certain not going to start now. Had a 10 year on n off internet addiction looking close at the computer scream n I never had back or neck problems.

If people think I'm going to start sitting in the middle of a room rocking back n forth feeling sorry for myself they can think again. There are lots of people worst off with cancer, no legs, no arms, MS all sort so I'm not letting a stupid eyesight condition get in the way, never have never will

Here is the link to the thread I made in Drugs In The Media. There is a link to the actual full article at the top of the post. If you wanna skip that and just read the article, here is the link for that. Article.

Even someone who is not addicted and is selling heroin solely for profit shouldn't ever be locked in a cage.

I disagree there. People get addicted to these drugs. Lives get ruined not only the addict but also the family n friends of the addict. People die from this stuff. Sorr but I really disagree with that comment for those reasons. If the person is addicted themselves, that is different because they are not in their right mind when addicted, they are too desparate n hungry for drugs that they'll anything.....
 
The more profitable a good is, the stronger it is going to be pushed on potential customers. Making a commodity illegal skyrockets its profitability, so on the flipside, making drugs legal would lower the profit levels and temper the pushing of them on customers. This is closely related to the Iron Law of Prohibition, which states that the more illegal a good is, the more potent it will be (basically packing more of it into a smaller physical space, an appeal to the fentanyl within heroin can be made to show what happens when heroin supply is cracked down on). So an argument for the legal sale of drugs is that it is actually safer because purity can be constant and controlled.

Lives aren't ruined by those people selling the drugs. Those people just supply a demand created by drug laws. The lives are ruined by the politicians who create the economic/legal conditions that necessarily lead to the more harmful outcomes in the first place. I mean, this should be Harm-Reduction 101. Conceding to the realities of the situation, including dealers being as innocent with regard to the law as customers, is a primitive step in making the situation safer for users, families and society. The real criminals here are the lawmakers who make drugs illegal, which guarantee that they are controlled by people who aren't at the mercy of business ethics. Attacking supply has been the main theme of the War on Drugs, which has not worked for decades and will never work in an economy ruled by the forces of free-market economics. And it never will.

As for the actual sale, a drug deal is a voluntary transaction between two individuals and should not be prosecuted on either side. An involuntary transaction (say robbery-at-knifepoint) is a different story because there is a victim. On a moral level, is it unfortunate that people are going to profit off of others' misery? Yes. But you're kidding yourself if you think that the anger should be placed on dealers. The Drug War in effect caters to the drug gangs and dealers, giving them exactly what they want, an illegal commodity with high profit potentials, and with all the adverse consequences. "Don't hate the players, hate the designers of the game."

I'm with Red Leader on this, scratch beneath the surface and beyond the propaganda we are fed to support the regime of prohibition and the 'war on drugs'. You'll see that many of the dangers heroin users face are the result of these systems, overdosing due to the unknown quality of street drugs, contaminated drugs due the total lack of quality control in illicit drug production and supply and infection due to lack of access to clean needles to name the obvious ones.

Opiates are used in medical setting with no such issues, the drugs themselves are not 'killers', society needs to shoulder the blame IMHO.

I'm not for one moment suggesting that making such things legal and freely available tomorrow would be the answer but the current approach has not and will not work, people are needlessly dying and the reasons that governments and their associated agencies continue in their vein alleged attempts to eradicate the illicit supply of these substances is murky to put it lightly.

The whole thing makes my blood boil but I truly believe we will, eventually progress beyond this situation and find a better way......and breath;)
 
Points noted but your argument doesn't change my view. Some of these dealers are greedy cutting drugs with all sorts such as fentanyl. The customers are not aware of what is in the drugs. A lot of these customers are addicts n thus, in my opinion, not in their right mind. They are often desperate for the drugs, in need of starving off withdrawal. These dealers know this. I take your points on board but it is not the same as, say a customer purchasing milk where they know that some other poisonous substance hasn't been added in order to make the milk seem more n gain more money.

EDIT

Hang on, I think we're having a different argument/debate here. The argument about whether drugs should be legalised - I agree with. That way it would stop dealers pressurising clients/customers, would mean drugs are not 'cut with stuff,' would mean people knew how many mg they were taken, less chance of ODs etc etc. I was arguing about drug dealers who are in it purely for profit, that those who are addicted but dealers who are in it purely for profit, cut drugs with allsorts, let the clients have so much then have them beat if if they don't pay up, pressure people to buy more that sort of thing. Sorry I got a bit confused there with what we were debating over LOL.

In an illicit market there will always be unscrupulous people prepared to exploit the weak, these people exist in almost any area of business.

Do you see a huge market for illegally produced alcohol ? no

Do you see a huge market for illegally produced tobacco ? no

And yet these substances can be addictive and damaging, I would suggest that the problems I listed are as a result of prohibition in it's current form.

Provide a sensible means of supplying these substances and the illicit market could be largely eradicated, continue as we are and we throw £Millions at the ineffective 'ware on drugs' and many people die and other live their lives in misery, I know which one I'd be fighting for.

I don't want to clutter up this thread and this is not the place for in depth discussion on the issue but at the same time I don;t want to stifle discussion, you might change my mind.. if you want a debate on the subject I'd suggest EADD given your UK based.

I look forward to your thread over there:)

You could always split this into its own thread and start one here? it concerns addiction and recovery and any 'triggering info' could be filtered with the NSFW sign and a trigger warning. Just a suggestion. Your right just thread is for venting hehe :)

My apologies for the derailment which was largely my fault, this simple isn’t the place for the discussion, other forums like European-amp-African-Drug-Discussion have threads about such things on a regular basis and have no such issues with triggering content etc.

My rant for today ....Mrs A kindly chased up the hospital as I am waiting for the first of 2 planned operations on the leg / knee I wrecked a couple of years ago in a motorcycle accident.

I've waited 8 weeks for a date, they told Mrs A today it's likely to be at least 37 weeks8o

It looks like I'm going to have to put my principles to one side and take the work private health plan as I need to get this sorted.
 
I can't stand people who snore! :! Sleeping in the same room as someone who snores is easily my number one pet peeve. Torture.

Then I wake up to an email I really wish I never received but whatever.
