Why did you join bluelight?

Znegative said:
I lurked bluelight as early as 2006 for sure, but didn't join until some time in 2010.

Basically, what ended up happening was that I had been sent away to a long term treatment center at the age of 20 for my addiction to benzo's, heroin and cocaine. After finishing the program I relapsed at a half-way house, then moved back to Brooklyn and stayed completely clean from all drugs (not counting nicotine and coffee) for around 8-9 months before relapsing on some hydrocodone (which turned into an all out speedball binge). I was put on suboxone for the second time, but I was not ready to quit, and suboxone did not satisfy my craving. My first thought was 'wouldn't it be great if I could have subutex instead of suboxone...", as at the time I didn't know you could I.V suboxone and thought IV subutex would somehow be different and change all my problems.

So I started researching IV buprenorphine, and eventually started to read about people who where using their suboxone intravenously. At first the idea frightened me, but I was at the end of my rope. I had already started selling my belongings to shoot coke and take xanax, and everyday was the same old bullshit: run around, somehow make money, try to cop, get high, or get depressed. Eventually after reading enough about why you could shoot suboxone when it contained Naloxone, I gave it a try, and sure enough, I didn't go screaming into the bathroom, foot prints made of shit trailing behind. Now, I can't say that I think shooting suboxone is a great thing (and it really shouldn't be done unless it's filtered properly with a micron, though even then, for some the whole act would be counterproductive.) But at the time, it worked out for me and kept me away (for the most part) from IV coke and dope.

So initially the only threads that I paid too much attention to were the ones on Buprenorphine in Other Drugs, but over time my interest broadened and I found ways that I could help others through sharing my past experiences/mistakes. I also realized the Bluelight was really the only online forum that I could find where I felt as though people treated each other with respect (I remember how kind and patient the moderators at the time-Captain.Heroin & Cain2theLeft were to me), and that the posts, for the most part, were/are intelligent and articulate. I never have been one to want to 'join' anything, but in Bluelight I found a true community (as well as a girlfriend a quite a few close friends). I was so glad when I was given the opportunity to moderate this forum as well as Other Drugs.

Well, enough of being corny, I'll shut up now.

Not corny at all! A good read.
 
I started looking at drug forums when I started getting into drugs (mainly weed). I found the vast majority of users on other forums to be uneducated and prone to spread misinformation whereas everything on Bluelight is done in the name of harm reduction. While there are good resources outside of Bluelight for general queries about drugs, I feel that no forum besides this one has as good of a community that is generally concerned about each other's well being. I think it's safe to say that without Bluelight, I would not be the educated, informed drug user I feel that I am today.

I also REALLY like that Bluelight doesn't require members to use "SWIM" or other pointless methods of deterring self-incrimination as the moderators of this forum realize that it does not help and just makes things more complicated and confusing.

Doesnt require? Using SWIM is breaking the rules. Real talk, rule #1 in the BLUA.
 
Its actually a fairly new rule. Always been discouraged until admins added it to the BLUA about a month or 2 ago.
 
My first view was a very strong 250 morning glory cwe, pretty random, that worked perfectly.

Then, what brought me to read this was the---MDMA ways to "blow up" brought me to the site.

It was shit like laying on the ground with your head etc etc etc.

Then one of the chicks was like, how the fuck do you know where it says where.

After that I started reading.

I posted a page back im a cop.

the site is a lot better now (2014) then when I read it at first (2009)
 
I can't for the life of me remember, I was probably high.... I just looked at my first post. It was 3am on a Jan 1st. to answer a question about benzos so who knows what the hell I was thinking.

I do use bluelight alot when I'm off dope, though. I figure if I can't do it, it's fun to atleast talk about it amongst other users. And if I can spread a little HR, so much the better.
 
I came to BlueLight because I wanted to find information about psychedelic drugs. I found what I was looking for and so much more. I lurked for a while because I just wanted to learn, then I eventually joined when I figured that my opinions were worth sharing. I've stayed here because I still learn so much, every single day, reading posts on here. And the community is fucking awesome. :)
 
I joined cos I couldn't leave the house, was in delirium psychosis coming off heroin… needed support. Was fantasizing about killing myself. :\
 
Needed help and see if others were feeling and going through the same shit as I was/am.
 
It was a logical continuation of my heavy drug research.
 
Just wanted to talk shit about weed, I guess. I had to check my first post to find this out. Over time I became a little attached to this place, but mostly just lurk and only post when inhibitions are loosened a bit (yeah so this is basically a disclaimer about why my posts are generally so dumb.) Funny though I have never really stopped coming back to this forum since I joined... 5 years ago, and am just now making my 420th post.
