Hiya NorthernCaliMobbin,
Welcome to Bluelight - as Trainspotter said we're glad you're here, every new member adds something to this forum in their own way n the more, the merrier.
Unfortunately I don't have my links page to give you links to sub-forums/threads, however I can advise you to visit North n South American Drug Discussion, which may be a way for you to meet people within your locality. You may need to scroll quite a way down. I'll edit this page with the link when I get back on my laptop.
Also Trainspottter has given you a few useful links to the site, which I'f advise most people to read.
You're more than welcome to PM me if you need anything and feel free to ask any questions.
Evey
